When Life is Messy


Life is a mess… what can I say?!

I just wanted to write a short blog about how amazing our Savior is to walk through the mess with each of us, and with that how wonderful my hubs is to follow Him into the messes. Let me be clear, this was a mess that I made, a mess that no hubs should have to clean up, the mess that is only caused my an overstretched, exhausted, homeschooling momma to two boys who would rather play all day than accomplish a single lesson in Readin’, Ritin’, OR ‘Rithmatic.

After yet what felt like another day of homeschooling breakdowns; you know the kind; the routine isn’t working, the curriculum is disorganized, no one is following the schedule I spent months preparing, the how-in-the-world-are-they-ever-going-to-get-into-college-we-might-as-well-send-them-to-public-school type of breakdown. My hubs so gently and gracefully walked into this mess, of my own creation I admit, head on. I couldn’t be more humbled and grateful and truly, truly blessed. With compassion he helped straighten us out, with joy he helped us get back on track, and with true leadership gifts granted only from our Savior, he led us out of the mess.

Thank you honey for showing us Christ’s love even in the chaos!!
