Well, it's been a while...And honestly I'm not ready to unpack all the things swirling in my head, but I still feel compelled to reach out into blogland and assert my sanity, to some degree. So instead of trying to make any kind of insightful point, I just want to unload the jumbalaya of life in it's present state.
House: thrashed.
Makayla's schoolworkings: to be continued.
Photos: never seem to finish being edited.
Kids: half-clothed.
Lightbrights:ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
Blanket forts: taking up the living room.
Bank account: mostly on "E"
crafts: what crafts?
Me: pajamas, coffee, and Cheese-its for breakfast.
In spite of overwhelming moments, God is SO VERY good and great and gracious. As I responded to a multiple little Facebook comments and inquiries from multiple friends and family members, I had to smile. What a blessing to be living life with people! I count myself a dearly loved person, knowing that at any given moment, by the grace and provision of God, I am hemmed in behind and before, and I couldn't be alone even if I wanted to. Years ago, I could not make such a statement with full confidence. Moreso than being known by people, though, I'm thankful for the revelation of being fully known AND embraced by my Creator. That right there is fantastic news and a salve for my soul, because I think I know myself pretty well, and even in my finite ability to understand things, I sure don't measure up to the high standards of worth and intelligence and beauty in this world. I matter to God, notwithstanding all the shortcomings, and I am finally finding joy in that.
(I guess I was ready to unpack my feelings after all, funny how cathartic this bloggery is, huh? hehe).
Thanks for listening!
