My Family
Jeremy, Rachel, Isaac and Noah
My name is Rachel Lane and I am a young mom and pastor's wife. I have just recently started this journey as a pastor's wife and it has been an out-of-my-comfort-zone learning experience to say the least. Proverbs 31 describes the wife of character of worth "far more than rubies." This blog is a diary of my journey as a wife and mother. God's Word tells us that our life is like a race, ever sprinting for that good and faithful finish. So I invite you to join in cheering me on this challenging race. You'll see me fall and stumble, but with God's grace I continue to Race For Rubies.

Progress was Made......I think!

Well, my day did not go according to plan. (Does it ever?) It started out with me lazing around in my night gown, watching the news. The boys were still asleep so I was just enjoying a few peaceful moments before my day got started. I knew that my first kids wouldn't be at the house until around 7:45. About 7:10, I drug myself to the bathroom to brush my teeth. On the way to my room to get dressed, I hear the doorbell ringing! Now, my kids normally knock on the door so the fact that they were using the doorbell meant that they had probably been there awhile. Let's just say I was scantily clad so I ran into my room to grab my robe then opened the door to welcome my first two students of the day. So the day started off kinda weird. :)
We had a great morning playing and even decided to skip circle time today in favor of a huge wrestling match on my bed. The kids had a blast! and little Noah would crack up everytime I sent someone flying. Two-year old Kyla kept saying she was getting "squooshed like a bug" So much fun! Then I got a call from my third student's mom saying they were staying home today. In my head, I'm rearranging my day to accomadate the change. Not long after, I get another call from an expectant mom who is a friend of mine. Her two little ones came to play for the afternoon while she was seeing the doctor. Another change to my plans! BUT, all the kids played really well together and there was very little arguing and fussing.
I did manage to find time to sit and figure out a daily and weekly schedule! I prioritized my responsibilities and felt really good about the changes I made to my days. Still didn't accomplish all ofmy goals for the day, but I no longer have that overwhelmed feeling telling me I might as well give up and do nothing. Got a few loads of laundry done, went through the mountain of Easter candy and sorted it all into "keep" and "send with Jeremy to work" piles. lol! Unfortanetly, my poor little man had an upset tummy this evening and we've managed to refill the laundry hamper. Hey, at least I wasn't adding it to what was there yesterday, right? =) Now all that's left of my day is to do some picking up and straightening up then it's off to some much needed quiet time with the Lord before bed! Hopefully, I have a better start to my day tomorrow! It would probably help to be dressed before my kids get here, hahaha!

  1. This is really neat Rachel! I didn't know you were doing this. I will have to keep up.

    P.S. Glad the additional kids didn't completely derail your day and I really appreciate the help.
