However, for me it's the perfect time to drive to Dodgeville to meet with the ladies in the Life Group at Hidden Valley Community Church. We are currently reading The Miracle of Life Change by Chip Ingram. This book is awesome!
The changes I am experiencing in myself are just astonishing. I can feel myself drawing closer to God in all aspects of my life. I am learning to trust him more and go to him first when I am having a problem. I am no way close to the spiritually mature person that I long to be but I'm getting there. God has done so many great things in my life and I'm remembering that only he can provide for us the things we need.
And I can't say enough about the wonderful ladies in my group. They come from all sorts of backgrounds and are in different places on their walk with God. Just listening to the stories of these women is an encouragement to me. I have always longed for a group and a church where I can truly be myself and not worry about being judged. They accept me for who I am and it is such a relief. This is the place for me. Hearing the honesty from these women and seeing them being authentic with each other is fascinating to me. We grow up in a world that tells us to be guarded all the time. To not trust anyone and to only think about ourselves. That leads to a very lonely life of unfulfilled relationships. The friendships I am forming in these Life Groups is truly a work of God.

Not sure where to start
I got the idea to start a blog from a classmate from high school, Thanks Jen. Go Dodgers! After the stressful day I had today it seemed like the best thing to do to relax.
As the title states. I'm not sure where to start. I have so many thoughts running through my head that I'm afraid it will spin off into space any second now. Sooo, I'll start with the day I had today. I could just tell before getting out of bed that it wasn't going to be a good day. Kennedy (2 1/2) was up earlier than usual and I didn't really sleep well the night before. I had to drag myself out of bed and get Mackenzie ready and off to Kindergarten. The rest of the day was pretty normal; dishes, diaper changes and laundry.
I did get a chance to get outside and start raking up the leaves in the front yard. The air was so crisp and cool that I shuddered a little as Kennedy and I stepped out the door. I knew that I had at least an hour to rake as Lexi (1) was down for her first nap of the day. It was nice to get some fresh air and the exercise of raking was a good energy boost. Kennedy was content with scooting her ride on toy up and down the sidewalk while I raked the leaves to the curb.
The rest of the day....wasn't so nice. The girls started to get whiny, clingy and crabby. By God's grace and his alone I was able to get through the day. I'm not sure why but today was just one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong and the girls needed me every time I turned around.
Until next time ~~ Anita
