Sometimes we know the plans of God and sometimes we have to just take baby steps to get there!!!
I truly believe we are all called to be AMAZING...what I forgot is it probably won't happen till HEAVEN!!! I need to stop jumping steps (as I am known to do) and work on becoming good at my current tasks...Catholic, a wife, mother, homeschooler, homemaker, friend...
Sometimes being good is where we need to start...my current goal is to get better each day...so while I work on that...I will be on blog time out...Maybe one day I will go from good to great...doubtful!!! Then when we meet in Heaven we can all be amazing together!!!
...Also for those of us who try to hard to be like others...sometimes...our days need to be one's where we just survive!!! and that's OK!!!

some days you just have to survive...
This week I returned from an amaizing Mother's Day trip with 4 of my kids...left the other guys with dad and my sister!!!
When I got home late Monday night it was great to be home with everyone. My husband even had the house all clean...perfect...I am sure it had nothing to do with the 18 hours of TV they watched either!!!
Well it is Thursday and my 4 and 2 year old (the ones who were spoiled by their aunt) still are off kilter...
Tuesday the 2 year old woke up crying (why do they wake up cranky???) and the baby fussy was with post flying/traveling stress were both climbing on me!!! So I decided it was plan B day...bag the dishes, laundry, most school, and just cuddle and survive!!!
Later that night I had the opportunity to get to mass...in relief to be there...I looked down to my feet and realized I had on two different shoes...we back to survival!!!

MY BUDDY SAINT JOSEPH...
A Parent's Prayer to St. Joseph
O glorious St. Joseph, to you God committed the care of His only begotten Son amid the many dangers of this world. We come to you and ask you to take under your special protection the children God has given us. Through holy baptism they became children of God and members of His holy Church. We consecrate them to you today, that through this consecration they may become your foster children. Guard them, guide their steps in life, form their hearts after the hearts of Jesus and Mary. St. Joseph, who felt the tribulation and worry of a parent when the child Jesus was lost, protect our dear children for time and eternity. May you be their father and counsellor. Let them, like Jesus, grow in age as well as in wisdom and grace before God and men. Preserve them from the corruption of his world, and give us the grace one day to be united with them in Heaven forever. Amen.
