Welcome to my new blog! Why Chaotic Peace? Good question…
Chaotic – (adj.) lacking a visible order or organization
Peace – (n.) Inner contentment; serenity
In other words…I am totally content with the lack of order in my home! I love and serve God, my Husband and my Children. My house is in a constant state of chaos and we find peace (at times) with each other! I’ve come to realize that, all too soon, my children will be grown up and I have but one chance to be a part of their childhood. To play with them (even when I should be doing the dishes!), to read to them (the dust bunnies can wait) and to help them learn what God wants them to do with their lives. I count it a blessing and priveledge to be a part of this wonderful adventure! I’ve been told that one day my house will be clean, my laundry will be done and my house will be quiet…and I will miss the chaos! Probably…but until then…here is my life!

hey cherity! this blog thing is really cool. Is it free? I don’t have a camera though. I love your attidude about your chaotic home life and putting God first and teaching the kids to do so too. And in the meantime your house is a mess. But like you said, those kids will be grown up and out of there before you know it, and a clean house won’t make a bit of a difference. The time that you spend with them and what you do with them will. I’s all about sacrifice for us as mothers. It’s hard to look at them dirty dishes sitting there but we know in our heart where the priority is. And believe me, it pays off! We reap what we sow. That’s why I have my beauty shop in the house. I had it in the house when my older kids were growing up and I am so blessed to have it in my house now while Jodi is growing up. I don’t make a lot of money, but I am here for her. Sometimes i sit and wonder what it would be like to have the kind of money that some people have . I guess that is ‘coveting’. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. One of my main prayers is that God would always burden my heart to do the best thing for Jodi no matter what I feel or what I have to go through. Your comment about your family kind of convicted me a little because sometimes I tend to have a pity party about what we don’t have, and bla, bla, bla, and reading that brougt me back into reality of what I truly have. What a blessing for me! Sometimes God has to rebuke us! Take care and enjoy your’e family! Nadine
