Oh no, we want to go camping?!

We have been planning meaning to take the dudes camping for a really long time now. And we just find excuses not to go. This summer I am making it intentional that we go at least once! We have all the camping gear, so what's the big hold up? I found this blog about camping with toddlers and wanted to share. Enjoy!

Video: Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

This has been one of the greatest explanations that I have heard about religion. My views are my own, and this man says exactly everything that I feel in my heart to be true, out loud. I get caught up in what others believe and what others think, forgetting that I am my own person. Jesus gave so much for me, I need to give more for him.

"Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else" 

Galatians 6:4

As a person, we generally look at others and compare ourselves to them. "She is so great with her kids. Look at how well they behave. I wish I could parent like that." We often lose focus of our own work. The journey that God has laid out for us, is our own. Some days it doesn't seem like we are getting anywhere and like the days are more of a blur and we are struggling just to make it through them. But God has a plan for you. He has something amazing for you. Take time to stop and recall this verse when you are struggling. And to always remember that God is satisfied with your work.
