Picking Blackberries

Nathan and I went to pick Blackberries with some of my bible study girls, Cindy, Kim and Janna. (plus our sweet children) We picked blackberries for an hour and talked about John 15. When we got home we made Blackberry Cobbler with Micah and Tim. Today was such a blessing being a mom.

Why is she so mean?

Why is she so mean dad? Those are the words I heard Nathan say to Tim as I was leaving the room yesterday morning.

My first thought was mom mean? I love my family why would they think I am mean?

After that I took the boys to VBS and got in my car and cried like a baby. Lord why does my sweet Nathan think I mean? The Lord said Nicole would you want someone to talk to you the way you talk to your family?

Yesterday I spent a lot of time in prayer about the type of wife and mom I want to be. Today I am choosing to get up and pray to be a positive wife and mom.

I hope I never forget the day my child thought I was mean.

After finding this out, and with the help of my teacher, I started to learn to love to read. Now at 27 I have decided that I want to start reading Classic books.

So what is your favorite Classic Book? (I am starting with Anne of Green Gables)
