Welcome to the new Rekus family blog. I look forward to tracking our family memories, lessons learned, and what the Lord is doing in our lives this way. My heart is full with love for my Lord, my family, and my community of friends. He has blessed me abundantly! January has been filled with learning how to be a wife and mommy... and balancing all that goes along with that. Is there every balance really? I have been able to figure out when to get things done around the house and when to sit on the floor and play trains, read books, learn letters, and watch Veggie Tales with my sweet Eli. It all gets done somehow...but I am exhausted at the end of the day. The Lord reminds me to not worry about all the things I feel I need to do...teach Eli his letters, work on language development, bake my own bread, buy all organic, make baby food, sleep schedules, organize pantry alphabetically...just kidding. For real, I have some serious perfectionist tendencies. When the anxiety sets in, that's when the Lord sets my priorities straight. Love Him, reflect Him through my attitude with my husband, and teach my kids to follow Christ's example. Simple right?! I wish... That's why I MUST have daily quiet times with HIM. I need a daily dose of redirecting my priorities!
We are enjoying the White Winterland! Although I must say that I am getting cabin fever! We were in the house all of last week. We received around a foot of snow! Are we in Nebraska???? Forecasters are predicting more snow this week. As Eli would look out the window at all the snow falling he would say "Bubbles". Precious! Grateful I can stay at home with my kiddos.
