Losing Weight

Wow, it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything. And not because there's nothing going on. More like everything is going on right now. Having all the kids home for the summer is a blessing, but it is also keeping me hopping!

All that to say that I need to shed a little weight. Lay some things aside for awhile, at least until fall.

I keep thinking about the verse Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight...." I have my 5 little witnesses by my side this summer. They require my time, my energy, my life feeding into theirs. I know that I need to lay aside some weight right now, and blogging is one thing that needs to go, for now.

Think I'll go throw the Frisbee with my kids, pop popcorn and play some Monopoly, watch my 10 year old try to walk on stilts, help the boys build a "house" in the backyard, go to the park and have a picnic, read a funny book before bed. They're growing up so fast. Be back in the fall hopefully. I needed to lose some weight anyways!
