June

June is always the most chaotic month for us every year. Between all the activities the kids are in and driving them every where, everything else seems to get put on the back burner. This month has been particularly hard because Josh and Ashley have been struggling with their issues and medications have gotten them out of sorts. Hailey is the only one really happy and that is because she is having an excellent year in swimming. She is a little stressed because she very badly wants to be swimmer of the year and it is a close competition. We keep having discussions about how her real goal needs to be to glorify God in all she does, hopefully she will keep that in mind if things do not go her way. Our verse for the month has been 1 Corinthians 10:31 - Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. I have asked more times than I can count: Did your actions glorify God? Hailey was not sure if God really cared about swimming, but realized he did care about her attitude not only when she loses, but also when she wins. I have asked all three of the kids (and myself) more times than I can count: Did your actions glorify God? Sometimes we can say yes and other times we know we have to make some changes. Hopefully the exhaustion of June will give way to a more restful and peaceful July!
