i really should just have a photo blog. i am not taking the time--as i hoped i would--to write about our lives. or maybe its that nothing really seems noteworthy in our day-to-day. and maybe that is okay. not sure, but whomever it is that looks at this blog, i hope you like photos of our family, cause that is all it is! (smiles)
something noteworthy to say on this monday is that i have been enjoying my new sara groves cd (as i mentioned before). for some reason, music really gets me in a place where i can soften enough to be open to the Holy Spirit. perhaps a bit odd that it takes this, but God is working in my heart as i listen and ponder the words in her songs. and that has led me to reading a bit about the International Justice Mission--an organization whose work impacted her song writing on this album. i guess, in short, what i could say (as my kids are literally screaming for my attention) is that i have been reminded of the importance of remembering what is REALLY going on in our world. that my own issues with friendships, sanity, decorating my house, etc are pretty small. i think God cares about these little things (and maybe they aren't so little), yes, but i also need to OPEN MY EYES WIDE. there is suffering in the world, and i need to better trust God in it and also get out there and get involved in God's major work. at least i'm wanting. so that is a start, and i'm thankful for that!
on to the photos.......
