In my ideal world…
…every day begins before my children wake up, with a quiet breakfast, a time to read Scripture and a conversation with my God.
…my house is clean every night when the lights are turned out – dishes washed, floors swept, laundry put away and all toys in their place – allowing a fresh start to each morning.
…my life is organized. My home stays organized.
…all, or at least most, of my family’s meals are organic and nutritious, prepared at home and served at our dining room table.
…I have the wisdom and the vision to homeschool my children well – to fill their minds with knowledge and their memories with experiences that will equip them to do anything, to be anyone.
…I have the wisdom and the patience to train my children well – train them to pursue righteousness and purity, to love God deeply and to honor Him by loving and serving people and by telling His story to anyone who will listen.
…my children know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I adore them, that I want what is best for them, that I accept them and that they mean the world to me.
…my husband and I have – and consistently follow – a clear and intentional plan for our finances – for how much and to what we give, save and spend, including a clear and intentional retirement plan.
…I have passionate sex with my husband several times a week, every week.
…I read two good books a month – the kind that inspire, make you think, make you see the world a little differently than you did before.
…I never stop growing or learning or improving.
…I am an injury-free ultra-marathoner.
…I am a world-traveler (as are my husband and children!).
…I am a published author.
…I love my husband, my children, my family, and my friends well – that is unconditionally, loyally, with deep compassion and no judgement.
…I have my very own Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte.
…the romance never dies.
…my purpose is clear, my calling known, my direction steadfast, my path straight.
…I have unwavering Faith (you know, the kind that moves mountains).
