Time is tickin away, tick tick tickin away

20120402-174801.jpg

This is a SUPER old DC talk song that has been running through my head since I talked to my dear friend at church yesterday. We were talking about all kinds of things, including our time and the things we do and don’t like to do. While we were talking we kind of laughed at how silly it is how lazy and undisciplined we can be.
The things we need and want to do really don’t take that much time per task… 15 minutes? Maybe 30 once a day, somethings only once a week. It really wouldn’t take much time to do these things and is really nothing that we should be complaining about. Our lives are no different from other ladies around us and it is amazing to see how much can get done when you use your time well and break it down little by little.
Today as I have been mulling it over I was laughing as I looked at the clocks in our home. Not one of them was correct or the same, save the iPad which is controlled by satellite. No wonder I feel like a crazy person!
I need order in my life. I need discipline. I need to use my time well. Not because I have to but because I want to honor the Lord and be a good steward of what He has given me. There will be freedom in using my time well. By having a process to get the mundane and routine things done I will be able to accomplish all of the fun dreams and goals that Gavin and I have. I can pack a lot more in my suitcase when everything is folded, rolled and organized. Why should I view my time as any different? I have a list of little things I need to do and a longer list of things I want to do. None of them would take more than an hour. Most only 15 minutes. Let me share with you how I plan to get all of these things done:
1. Don’t be lazy
2. Get up and put my big girl panties on and do it without complaining

Ladies it’s that easy 😉

Welcome

Welcome

I'm Katie, the blessed wife of Gavin and mom to my 6 kids. We live a full life with friends, family, our community, church and finding a new place to explore. I am first and foremost a child of God and am committed to glorifying God and making Christ known in the atmosphere of our home, the habits and disciplines of our days and the life that we emanate each day. I am far from perfect and I find myself falling short everyday. There is grace and fullness of life in the Bible, so I "repent, rejoice, and repeat."

This just needed a permanent place on the feed. Gw This just needed a permanent place on the feed. Gwen LOVES the movie White Christmas. The last 3 years she has watched it everyday from thanksgiving to Christmas. She just loves the whole thing and I think she’s adorable. Enjoy my little Gwen.

Thanksgiving books that we have on repeat! Which o Thanksgiving books that we have on repeat! Which ones are missing?! #thanksgivingbooks #thanksgivingbooksforkids
Today felt like a long day. Everyone woke up in Today felt like a long day. 

Everyone woke up in a grouchy mood so we changed gears and went to a nature center.
Everything here is going well all things considered. Im learning about what it means to be satisfied in Christ alone. And truly living one day at a time. We are in total limbo as we are waiting longer than we planned. I’m preparing my heart for how to respond to unmet expectations and how to move forward. 
I am beginning to wrap my head around what the holidays look like living in someone else’s house with none of the normal things that make the holidays feel “normal”. 
We are praying our house would sell. We are fighting discouragement in that area. 
The church and people here have been wonderful and we are happy to be here and hopeful about the future. We know this waiting is temporary, so figuring out how to create home and put down roots and cultivate faithfulness in someone else’s house is tricky. The kids are doing well and adjusting to a new place.
@longneckpumpkinfarm was a great morning outing! W @longneckpumpkinfarm was a great morning outing! We enjoyed the duck races, play structures, animals, campfire, slides, corn pit and so much more. The weather was crisp and spirits were bright. We ended up with 10 pumpkins to bring home so I think we are good for the season! What is your favorite pumpkin patch? We sure missed @sffbrentwood this year!

The weather in Colorado has been spectacular this The weather in Colorado has been spectacular this fall. We are trying to get the kids outdoors as much as possible and explore our new home. I think that the more they learn and see about the area the faster they will have a connection with it and fall in love with the area. It’s hard to care for and appreciate things that you haven’t seen or learned about! During this time of transition we are focusing on a few things as a family
🍁 getting outdoors everyday to play, for a walk or a local adventure it helps them (and us) get our geographical bearings and things start looking familiar
🙌🏻 connecting through conversation and a specific question of the day. Table topics and other lists of questions have generated great conversation. When prompted in the morning they think on it all day and it provides a touch point to circle back to
🔍 making observations and asking questions about the area keeps everyone curious and learning. The more we notice the farther it gets into our heart and mind
👋 talking to people while we are out, in the store, at the park or destination generally results in a great recommendation, a story or something else interesting
No I’m not engaged. 😂 just a moment to reflec No I’m not engaged. 😂 just a moment to reflect and celebrate small victories in life. I’ve made some lifestyle changes in the last week or so and I’m able to wear my wedding ring for the first time in more than a little while. Ricky is almost 2 😮 and I’m in a place mentally and physically to focus on my personal goals and loosing some weight has been on the top of that list. I’m thankful for my health and my body and all that it’s been capable of and endured. We’ve covered a lot of ground together and I look forward to going into the next decade in the best shape that I can be in! I’m down 9.5 pounds and look forward to so many more non scale victories along the way. My 40th is in 5 months and the best gift 🎁 I can give myself and my family is my health. @jenhix07 has been my biggest encouragement, inspiration and help! 🎉 

Mom’s it’s not too late and hope is not lost. We get busy with children and life and school and we sacrifice so much for those that we love. It’s possible for you to reach your goals too. ❤️
