Once I was reading blog with the premise of what was required of a good Christian mom. I left feeling discouraged, rather than encouraged.

An AK Success
On Saturday night, Gigi had a cold. She didn't sleep very well because her sinus drainage kept making her cough and at one point through the night she ran a slight fever. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well either. So, at one point, early Sunday morning, when she woke me up yet again, I turned off the alarm. I figured if we woke up in time for church, we would go... If not, we wouldn't go. Well, I woke up 45 minutes before we needed to leave for church. Now, if it was just Richard and I that would be fine, but we have three kids under 6! In our former life, we would have never made it. However, I woke everyone up, explained that we had slept in and that if we were going to make it to church everyone would have to do their morning chores quickly. Not only were we not late, but we made it in time for announcements! I was so proud of my girls.
