Another attempt at a healthy meal...just because it's fun!


This is sugar free blackberry preserve and cream cheese on whole wheat, homemade roasted red pepper hummus, pita chips, frozen blueberries, carrots, and cucumber from our garden. Kinadie finished hers off. Kara ate most of the sandwich, hummus, few chips, and a few blueberries. I think she ate a few bites of the cucumber after I added a little light ranch.

On another topic I guess I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with the thought of all I have to do as a parent/mother. I was so tired today that I almost decided to skip church. Wednesday church is important for me because I get caught up from missing Sunday when I teach the preschool kids. And I am SO glad I went! God showed me that by confession of the truth and not the facts that I am healed of all the sorrow I feel for not "getting to it." I am healed from the anxiety I feel about what I need to get done. It may not come immediately but with time and patience God will comfort me because all this mess and sin in my life "IS FINISHED." I must think about how I want my kids to remember me. I am a Godly mother. Not a house keeper. I must live for today. I hope all you mothers that read my blog can restart your day to live as Christ for your kids and know that you are not alone in what you are feeling but that if you let Him, Jesus can take it away. In fact, He already has.
