How did this happen?
How did this happen?
My kids were playing in their room, creating and racing cars on tracks...while I was slicing some cheese, preparing dinner, just pondering the day and various things in my mind when Matthew called out, "Mommy, come see this track!".
And all I could think was 'whoa, hold on! When did this happen?! Mommy? me? But I'm just a kid myself!
Ha! Oh boy...I'm not sure if that ever happens to you, but it's happened before to me...in my mind...sure is strange!
It's a good day to be a mom :)

Perspective
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

During a time of rest and transition
During a time of rest and transition.
This is a very difficult stage for me. I love doing things, I very much do not like having nothing to do. But there are times when that might be what God is asking of you.
At a women's conference this past weekend, a song was refreshed to me for this time called 'Desert Song' The whole song really is just for such a time as this. I keep listening to it, over and over.
'all of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship!' -Desert Song
I also had a high school student do a painting for my wall. I gave her freedom to do whatever she wanted. What she created amazes me, her talent and gifting is really incredible. Each day I find myself looking at it, and soaking up the truth of the verse she wrote from Psalm 46:10 "cease strive and know that I AM GOD". Can I just say, for a 'what can I do, what can I do?! ' heart, oh man! Cease striving! And KNOW! That GOD is GOD!
Ah. Breath in. Breath out.
Waiting. Listening. Or at least trying :)....

Cozy day
Today we had 'one of those' mornings, and I needed to just step back and change things to get some peace in our home.
We made some warm cinnamon apple muffins with granola topping and cuddled together while reading the Prince and the Pauper. Much better :)
