I'm on that campaign crack!

Alright, I have to be more consistent with this blog thing! I feel my 'feeling like a better person' thing slipping away. There is actually quite a bit going on right now. My dad has thrown his hat back in the political ring and I am beyond excited! State Board of Education...here we come! Working on a campaign is like crack to me...lol...I love it! We are officially announcing Monday morning and then it's gonna get crazy until March. And I figure if Scott Brown can win Ted Kennedy's seat with a pick-up we can win our election after only knowing we were going to run 60 days before the primary. With the help of my wonderful mother-in-law we have got half the world praying for him already. Prayer is the stone that will knock down the current incumbent Goliath so I am optimistic.
And speaking of Goliath...Tamara and I have decided to train for a 5k in Dallas on April 10. I'm pretty sure that after all we have been through, this decision is the one that officially makes us crazy. She would probably disagree. Anyway, we are going to train 6 days a week and quit smoking. My flesh is not happy about any of that but I know when I get on the other side of it I will feel (and look!) so much better. It will be good for me to have a goal and be active.
I am so enjoying my boys right now. Kaden is 5 and Kohl is two and it blows my mind how different they are. Kaden is musical and deep and inquisitive. Kohl is outgoing, cuddly and so, so funny. It is one of the great joys of my life to be able to be with them every day. I pray that God will give me the desire of my heart... to raise uncompromising Godly men in a world of compromise. I have to trust in the fact that where I am weak He is strong.
Personally, I have had a very interesting 7 days. I have learned a lot which I'll talk more about later but it basically boils down to this: you can't go back. You can't go back to people, situations, and activities that God has told you will never satisfy you. He is a jealous God and He will not share you. So I'm throwing up the white flag in certain areas of my life and surrendering to Him. I know the call on my life and I know where peace is and I want everything that my destiny entails. Obedience and balance are the keys...
