Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I'm somewhere in the vicinity of 30 years old. I'm wife to Patrick, and mom to Noah and Grace. These 3 people are my life. I'm also a daughter of the king. Not just any king, but the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. God has blessed my life and has given me purpose. So, I do my best to make Him #1 in my life. Then I try my best to put my husband and children next. After that, well, usually after that, I run out of time for anything else. That's why I'm on this journey for simplicity. I want my life to glorify God, and to do that I need to be the best mom and wife I can be, because those are the things that God has put in my care.
In search of the Simple Life
A few weeks ago, I had had enough. I couldn't go on the way I'd been going anymore. Life was rough, too complex and it felt like everything I touched fell to pieces. There I sat in my work's parking lot, 2 hours after clocking out, waiting for the tow truck driver to show up. I was out of gas, and my car battery was dead. I was stuck. Grace was at daycare with no more milk, and Patrick was hours away returning home from Bakersfield. And it was election day! I only had 2 more hours to get home, feed the kids, and go vote! It was in that moment, that I decided things would have to change! I needed to SIMPLIFY. That was a turning point in my life and now I am on this journey to a simpler life for me and my family. I'm starting this blog to track my journey and to share my life's adventures with anyone that cares to read along.
