Simplify

April tends to be the month that "new years" start over. Taxes are complete, year in reviews at work take place, the new fiscal calendars occur. . . You get the picture right?!?! Well, today as we were on our way to the park, I asked Craig "what's our family's motto for the year?"  (This sort of conversation tends to be a continuous topic amongst our 4 walls so the nature of the conversation didn't catch him off guard but the relativity of it did!).

Quick recap for those who may not know us. We are a young family that sold just about everything (or at least it felt like it) and moved to the DFW areA almost 2 years ago for the hubs to further his education at Dallas Theological Seminary. With that we have also added another child to the mix, we serve as our apt community's  CARES team, Craig is a college intern, and I am a clinical Dental Hygiene instructor for Concorde Career College. Whew! That's a mouth load oh and did I mention we have a 2 almost 3 yr old and a 5 month :).

So, back to our conversation. One of the many things The Lord shows us is that we have to simplify!  Easier said than done. Especially when all our "jobs" are good Godly things, are required to put food on the table and pay bills, and more than that we have commitments to and we see proof of the gospel  being fulfilled!  We haven't determined a conclusion and may not be anytime soon, but what I do know is that The Lord is faithful and just and that when we seek Him we will find Him and when we ask according to His will He is faithful to answer in His timing. And that He will provide for all our NEEDS and he continues to prove Himself in doing this.

To sum it up, what we did decide is that a life, a family, a corporation, a church, a anything that is doing life without a purpose, without a plan, or without a mission will seek to do all good things but may continue to run in circles never fully being simplified on this journey we call life!

I leave with you with food for thought, "What's your years motto?" I would love to hear what everyone has to say.
