A new begining

I have been inspired to begin blogging. A very good friend of mine has a wonderful blog that I read every day. She has encouraged me and believes that I can do this. My blog is titled the Seasons of my life. One of my favorite songs is Turn, Turn, Turn. It is in my ipod. This was my favorite before I knew it was in the bible. I believe that there is a purpose for every season in life. I believe that God is present in all the seasons of life.

My life has had many seasons, I am sure over time I will reflect on some of them. I have survived the early marriage, newborn, toddler, teething and potty training season. I am now in the homework, endless carpool, sports practice and teenage season.

A few weeks ago the twins Garrett and Mitchell began school. I now have 3 hours and 20 minutes all by myself.(if you don't count the dog) My kids, friends, neighbors and even my husband asks What will I do with that time? I can go to the market, Target, Costco, Gym, clean house and even go for a run. What I can not do is any two of those things together. Somehow there is just not enough time. You see for the past 6 years I have not been able to do any of those things separate or together, alone without a car full of snacks, taking kids in and out of car seats, tantrums or setting up a movie in the car.

So for this year, I will be content to do one thing by myself each day. This season will be short, while in it I know it feels that it will not end but, like all the other seasons God will guide me through bring it to an end and begin yet a new one...
