Thanks Donna! Your comment was helpful to me as I’m right now in the middle of all those “upcoming” projects from May!
One thing at a time and use the hours God’s given for His glory… very good advice. Sounds a lot like Matthew 6:33-34: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Thanks again. Continuing to pray for you…

Craig, you have said all this so well. First, I am impressed that you are so goal oriented, but you get a lot done that way. Indeed, our worth is not connected to our productivity as God loves us just the way we are. I find each day challenging. I was just saying to myself about an hour ago, I have too much to do today. Then, reading this blog I realized that I just have to do one thing at a time and use the hours given me for His glory. You are a treasure, to God, and to my family!

Let’s Go Fly a Kite

I had my first successful experience flying a kite this week. You would think living on the wind-swept plains of Kansas I would have tried my hand at this sooner, (I have lived here 15 years now), but I guess this is one of those "things you never really think about doing until you have kids" kind of things.
Anyway, on Tuesday, my kids and I stopped by Toys-R-Us and picked up two kites (the cheapo plastic ones). We went to a local park and tried them out, with SOME success (barely), but Ella's "Dora" kite lasted about 15 minutes before it broke.
The next day I decided to go to a REAL kite shop to replace it, and this place had just the coolest stuff. We took it to the next level: Ella opted for a colorful and large bird-shaped kite, Cole went with a Spiderman kite, and I claimed a black Stealth bomber kite for my own.
We met with much more success the second time around. So much so that Ella wanted to go again this morning, which we did. There seems to be no shortage of wind in Kansas, so I have a feeling we'll be making regular trips to the park more often this summer. I'm discovering more advantages to living in Kansas all the time...
