Recently, Matt and I have realized we are just doing too many activities! Actually, that would be, our girls are in to many activities. While all the programs are great, too much of anything is not a good thing. Our hearts desire is to raise our girls to have a great passion for serving God through serving others. That is an impossible goal to reach if you are always on the go! So, we have a tough choice on the table right now.
At this point, Bible Study Fellowship is the main non-negotiable. We adore this programs ability to teach our girls not only to learn scripture but to dig into it daily as well as apply what you read. Second on the list of non-negotiables at this time...dance. We have already paid for this semester. So we feel we need to keep that going for a bit. It is also our oldest daughter's passion and appears to be a new passion for our youngest. That leaves Bible Bowl and children's choir which are both great programs and we love the people! I fear I know what is leaving and it is just so hard to make that final decision. I would covet your prayers as Matt and I try to do what is best for our family even if it is tough to do. Sometimes being the adult is not so fun. :(

Always hard to prune and purge certain activities. I pray that you have guidance and direction with this decision.
We'll be praying for you!!! We appreciate your example - as there are so many in the world who just fill their family's life to the max and are stressed all the time... :-) Sending a big hug your way!
