People ask me how we do it...how do we really do it? How we juggle priorities, independence, jobs, childcare, family time and most importantly time and margin with God...
my clear-cut answer is...by God's grace. It's raw life people. We don't schedule a lot of activities and do our best to be intentional with the week ahead and with meeting one another in the middle. It's not always pretty nor organized. We have margin...space in which to be flexible to have a night out here or there. Space made to work-out or exercise but it has to be at specific times otherwise it does not happen.
I'm no super woman and Mark is no super-man. We have our flaws and we are committed to learning from our mistakes and to pursuing one another. We pray protection over our boys when we are not present with them and continually move towards giving them grace when all hellatious you-know-what breaks out. it's just the real deal and we're experiencing it together.
