New quiet time study

One of the hardest things for me has been to consistantly read my Bible. As a mom, I barely have time to brush my teeth. The other thing I have been trying to get into the routine of is to exercise. There just isn't enough time in a day. I finally had a hard conversation with myself a couple of weeks ago and here is what I decided: I must first take care of my relationship with God before I can do anything else in my life right. So, I have been doing a Bible study on discontentment and finding the contentment and joy that is found in Christ. Awesome stuff, it really is. But I have noticed even more so the attacks of Satan. I was having a horrible, horrible, horrible day with the kids. They had taken an extra dose of whiney pills that morning and I apparently had left my patience in bed that morning. Then I would looking at a website looking for volunteers to take pictures of infants who die in childbirth. I read the story about how the organization began and I am looked at the beautiful pictures of these perfect little babies who never got to experience life (the organization is nowilaymedowntosleep). Gave me great perspective. I will take the annoying stressful and yes, even horrible days with my kiddos because they are an amazing gift from God and I am so blessed that they are in my life.
