It's November.  Where has the year gone? I mean seriously...I woke up yesterday and had a newborn, and now he is one.  Millie is turning 4 this saturday.   What the What?

This year, I am already over the commercialism of Christmas.  I recently read the book, 7 by Jen Hatmaker.  It is so convicting.  But oh so good.  We have so much stuff.  Our closets are full, our garages are full, our rooms are full, our pantries are full.  FULL.....Yet, we are about to add more to their mass.  It's just disgusting.  Our world is broken,  our church is broken, our families, are broken.   I am going to do my best to reign it in this year.  Yes, I will buy my precious chilren toys they can enjoy. But I will not over indulge them.  I will not give in to the feelings that I am an inadequate parent if I do not buy my children every thing they ask for.

I want my children to love Jesus more than anything.  I want them to be world changers.  But they cant do that and be that if they don't have examples.  This year.  I will be better.  This Christmas is all About Jesus.  As it always should have been.

The Best is yet to come,

Sara
