We're trying to get back into a routine around here too and hopefully it won't feel like such an effort in a week or so. Wishing you well on your new goals for the year! Sounds like a great plan!

I'm SO much of a night owl that it's sometimes a huge struggle for me to get to bed early. Over the last year I've done well in moving it up from always midnight or later to typically between 10-11pm. I'm working on getting there no later than 10pm now. It's tough. I am SO much not a morning person but that is where I keep feeling God nudging me to this. I've been going kicking & screaming the whole way! How's that for honest disobedience? ;-) Although I did get up early this morning & got in things I wanted to do prior to kids getting up. The most amazing part - the kids slept!!! My kids are ALL early risers - not a night owl in the bunch. ::sigh:: I'll continue to pray for you in all of this! :-) Kathy,

I know exactly how you feel. I only have 4 kids, but they all need me. I've been trying to find an answer to this all school year. Let me know if you figure it out! :-) One thing I do NOT do is make breakfast or lunch for anyone (except Carys) including my husband. He's on his own. I'm not a very good wife, I guess, but something has to give! Keep us posted on how it all goes. Oh, Kathy! I know exactly how you feel. I only have 4 kids, but they all need me.

Our lesson in church was called "My Lunch, Lord?" (the feeding of the 5,000 with one boy's lunch) A key point was when we offer it to Him, the Lord takes our little bit - all we have to offer - and multiplies it to accomplish His plan. He gets the glory when He does what only He can do and it's obviously not us! May this be true for you as you do what God has called you to do. May He faithfully multiply your energy and opportunities and wisdom and patience! Yes, only one of you and 5 of them.

I knew where you were headed just by reading your title. I will be praying for you!!! I plan on posting this verse in my kitchen (food), car (as I drive to the YMCA), bookmark in my bible (quiet time), etc., etc., etc. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and SELF-DISCIPLINE.
