The Mom Life

For some reason today when I had about 3 minutes before my next class arrived, I decided to grab my copy of My Utmost for His Highest to see what Oswald had written for today, Feb. 9th.  The title is "Are You Exhausted Spiritually?"  I know about being tired.  It seems like I've had something going on every night this week, while still trying to do laundry, bathe and feed the kids, get homework done,  have family Bible study times, and finish Tim Tebow's book I checked out before its overdue.  (Too late...due back today but I am not done...can't recheck it since it has holds)  So, I have been a little tired this week.

Yes, Facebooking and Pinterest are fun ways to keep up with friends and share ideas, but its not at all the same as spending time with others, investing in their lives as they invest in yours. When I think back to when I was a teenager and even in college, it was common for me to ask my friends regularly things like, "Hey, how can I be praying for you?" or "So, what is God teaching you in your life right now?" b
