Just when I think we’re out of the “limbo” stage and I’m finally in some sort of control around here, something always changes and throws me out of sync again. This time, is the move that’s in our very near future. I wonder if we’ll ever feel like we have normal days instead of waking up and winging things. Maybe if I plan better? who knows… I’m hoping Lara Casey publishes her next round of Power Sheets soon. Maybe that’s the answer…
We’re in the process of getting our house appraised and inspected for our big move and it’s a headache. It’s an exciting headache but it still feels like there’s so much to do. We also have a hurricane heading our way, so we’re on our knees praying that nothing happens to the house. AND holy moly if you’ve never been face to face with a hurricane, stay tuned to our Instagram stories because I’ll walk you through the crazy that goes on to prepare for a hurricane.
The autumn sunsets have been so beautiful lately and we have been snapping sky pictures on our way to date nights. This one with the cotton candy clouds is one of my favorites.
Last week Grace and I had a serious conversation about God, forgiveness, heaven and hell. I think sharing our faith with our kids and answering their questions is one of the most rewarding things about being a mom. The truth is that the days are incredibly long and come 5pm you are ready to throw in the towel. And then sometimes they say things that remind you of why you quit your day job and decided to pour your life into raising theirs.
We’ve had a couple of garage sales last week to try and get rid of the “extra” things that we’ve been holding on to and honestly, I feel so much joy letting go of things that weigh us down. I find joy in knowing that the things we hold on to can serve someone else and I love feeling free after they’re gone. Anyone else feel that way? Grace is not really into donating her things. I get it though… I wasn’t really into donating my things at 4 either. These days I throw everything away… mainly because I’m tired of wasting my time cleaning all of the “extra” things we’re carrying around.
This cutie pie is the pride and joy of my life. She’s quickly ranking up to being the favorite child (because she actually lets me sleep) and is expressing her personality so well. Goodness, this picture makes me want to waker her up and kiss her face! I won’t… because… you know… I need my mommy time. But, man she’s so perfect for our family.
I’ve shared that over the past couple of weeks I have been in a creative slump. It’s really not a good place to find yourself because it’s a very fine line between hitting a downhill spiral and catapulting into your next creative entrepreneurship. I still haven’t figured out where I am now, but I am hoping that I come out of it stronger than where I am now. Please pray for me if you get a chance. I know good things are ahead but I’m struggling.
These kids. They are the reason I get up in the morning… really. They wake me up and they keep me going all day long. They also know how to push all of my crazy buttons and how to make me pray more than I have ever payed before.
Anyway… thank you guys for reading and for hanging in with me over the years. I surely don’t take my readers for granted and I am fueled by the encouragement you send my way. Thank you!
