No more excuses!!

No more excuses!! That is what I am forever going to tell myself. I have been making them for myself for years when it comes to getting into the Word.
This weekend I had the privilege to hang out with a bunch of my ladies from church. We talked about a bunch of things from getting the spark back in your marriage, child rearing, to your passion. All areas which I feel I need work. I have always felt that I struggle with being a good mom because I did not have an example of what a mom should be from my mother. So usually what I do is the opposite of what she did, read a lot of parenting books, or watch and ask what others are doing. I was at the park and telling a gal about how I felt and she expressed having the same problem. She stated that she just went to a parenting class and the pastor said too many people say "I don't know what to do because I wasn't given a good example of parenting" He basically said that you need to be in the Word because God is the perfect parent and he will teach you. How true is that!!
Well this brings me back to my first sentence. I constantly tell myself I don't have time to get into the Word....yada yada! I do however have time to blog...hmmmm. My next excuse would be I do most of my computer stuff when I am nursing so therefore it is justified. Well today is a new day! I have decided to first go to www.Biblegateway.com (because holding the book open is a little difficult for me) and read the Word before I go travel the net. I have also decided to cut myself off from running to the computer so much and choose to interact with my kids although I am nursing a baby.
I asked Reese this morning what she thinks mommy cares about the most? She said "the kids! to kiss and hug them" Although I love this response, I am looking forward to the day when she says "Jesus, Daddy and Us (in that order)"
