struggle | Luv'N Lambert Life

I am imperfect.

There I said it. Some days I get nothing done. Kids need Momma. Friends need me. Life and procrastination get in my way.

There are more days like this than I would prefer there to be. But God calls me to be there for those I love. He calls me to be Momma to my babies, solace to my friends, and supportive to my love. He prepares me for each day and leads me where I travel, even when I don’t feel like He is.

Sometimes I think that I could do better but what is better than doing what God is calling me to in the moment. I stumble, I struggle, I fall but I don’t fail Him if I go where He is leading me.

Those are strong words: I am imperfect. We all are, yet we strive to be more, to be everything, even though we were not created to be. We strive to be like Jesus, yet none of us can be.

As long as I get up, do my best and keeping trying, then I am doing what is asked of me. Some days, I simply need that reminder. We are NONE perfect but we are ALL perfectly imperfect.

Life has been keeping me busy. The kids and I have been cleaning out the girls room. They have bagged up a TON of stuff for me to sort through. We are on a mission to clean and reorganize the whole house, to make it work better for us.

The dishwasher is still working well. We’ve had a set back or two with the plumbing under the sink but I think we finally have it straightened out. It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to go into the kitchen and cook without having to worry with dishes everyday. Thanks to the help of the dishwasher I’ve been able to begin meal planning again.

I’m finding my iPad to be more of a blessing every day too. I’m able to put my list into my Cozi app on my iPad, take it with me to the store and check off the list as I gather my purchases. It’s a really great organizational tool, though I’m still learning to use it.

The kids are enjoying playing on the iPad too. Emmalee loves the Barbie apps available and Winston enjoys the Lego apps. Even Laycie enjoys “pretending” to play and watching YouTube and Netflix videos of her favorite Pre-k “friends”.

I have our new curriculum planned and ready to start on Monday. The kids are excited and so am I. I know they are going to enjoy it all too and I can hardly wait! Such a wonderful thing to share knowledge and God’s Word with my children every day.

So that’s what we are up to these days. I’m hoping to shoot some new photos of the kids and hopefully manage to get a new header for our blog. This week will be busy with school, nature walks and lots of housekeeping. Hopefully, it won’t keep us too busy to enjoy Luv’N Lambert Life!
