I am still in BloggyLand, though not near as often as I would like. Thought I would do an update before I jumped back in, you with me?
My little family is really doing well. Kids are in school, and though I am having mixed emotions about school this year, I am thankful that all is going well. Both are in good classes with teachers who are willing to help them excel.
Scott is trucking right along in his ministry program and is getting great opportunities to serve and learn. This program has brought many unique and meaningful relationships in both our lives. It has been fun for me to see Scott grow closer to God and in turn closer to me. We're are thrilled to see where God will lead.
Ever feel like you've been living life this certain way and all of the sudden you feel like you're being turned in another direction? I think I kinda feel like that now. Some changes I am making, some things are still in the works, while others are still kept close to my heart and I am praying thru them.
A couple things I am daily striving to do is move my family to a healthier more natural lifestyle. Now, I have not gone crunchy granola, but am making more and more changes that I hope effect my family in a positive manner. What am I doing? For starters, making my own laundry detergent. Easy, cheap, and works for us. I am also trying to eliminate a lot of processed pre-packaged foods. Taco seasoning mix, I make my own, brownies and muffins, I make from scratch. Little things. If I can make it from scratch and it's pretty simple, I try to do it. My kids are a little slow to come around to some things, but for the most part, they are happy with what I make. Scott is willing to try most anything and has been very pleased for the most part. I'll have to share more later about that part of my new world. For some of the two people who read, this may not be major changes, but for me, they're huge. Makes me feel all domestic and like I am fulfilling my role God has given me.
It's good stuff. Still rocky moments, but so far, it's been a great stroll down this new path. And so, with that, I plan to ease my way back into BloggyLand, hope that's ok with you.

It's good to see you back. I'm glad all is well.
"Crunchy granola." *snort*
: )
I'm glad to be catching up with you.
Girl, I just found your blog (from "New Every Morning"), and to be honest, it was the name of your blog that drew me in. Is it from the Casting Crowns song? Pleeeeease say it is!
Anywho, this particular post did speak to me, as lately I've been wondering what the whole purpose in mothering two small children really is. I wanted to be a wife and mother, and God has given me two beautiful, wonderful children. And now I sit here and wonder what the point is in day in and day out diaper changing, meal making, meal cleaning up, house cleaning, laundry, etc., etc., etc.
The point of my rambling is that I feel you. And things change from day to day, at least around here. Some days I feel like I'm making a difference, and I can identify different jobs that I know God wants me to do, and some days... well, some days I'm just happy to shuffle some of the diaper changes off to my husband.
