So, I am writing a not so jolting blog after about 3 days of it being on my heart...to share in your struggles, to share in your joys...

I am listening to "Only Your Presence" by Pilgrim, holding my baby girl and writing you this message. On the fly, Spirit-led!

I am still in the process of unpacking house. My energy is plentiful today and I can probably do 2-3 things on my list of 10, effectively and fully. And that makes me happy. I will write in another post about my physical disabilities but today the pain is tolerable enough to ignore. What's more, my Savior is also my Healer and His grace is sufficient and more...

I'm in a new city, a new state, a new life. I recently left, in essence, my entire life behind me to follow my husband where God led him to accomplish what he was called to do. It's us and our three babies in a new city, a new state, a new life. I like to think of it as a sweet season of preparing to go to our forever home. We are after all ambassadors for Christ in this broken, love-deprived Earth- sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, His Grace, His Truth, until

...4 paragraphs before I had to log off! Haha! Not bad. So day 2 writing this post....

It's Sunday morning. My 4 year old is watching cartoons and my baby girl is sleeping soundly (for now;). My 9 year old is praising the Lord with his daddy at church!! The three of us will have our bible study and worship time in a little while. Now it's time to hopefully finish this blog!

So yeah, as you can see life is always full of moments, interruptions, appointments...ups and downs, highs and lows. But always, always in the midst in the Lord.

I tried to explain to my 9 year old two days ago how God was everywhere, at the same time, all the the time. He has become- well, 9! Curious and inquisitive and super smart. So with that comes all the awesome and sometimes challenging questions. Questions like 'How come we can't see God?' I explained how we, though spiritual beings,  still live in a physical earth that is within the boundaries of gravity and matter. And told him when it's time for our physical bodies to change into their glorified, heavenly form, we will be able to see God all the time! But even though we can't see Him, we can see His signature just about everywhere and what's more He always can see us! I gave him little scenarios in various parts of the world with different parts of creation. He was jaw dropped to discover that God really does know how many hairs are on our heads at all times AND knows how many grains of sand are on every beach AND what every human being is thinking and feeling AT ALL TIMES. I said "of course He does sweetheart, He's GOD!"

It's sad to think that so many do not 'believe' in God. He is everywhere! If ever someone were to ask me to prove He exists, I would simply say "Look outside"...

3 is the number of resurrection! Perhaps I will finish this post this time! ha-haha!

So yeah, I felt like I should take a moment to be totally transparent about my daily life for a moment as a way to just take a deep breath for the next blog I am working on: it is heavy and serious and of utmost importance!

I, with all the Lord has shared with me the past year specifically, am also trying to live life with some sense of normalcy. But always in reverence to what He has spoken and the alarm bell is always ringing keeping me sober-minded and vigilant. In fact, I've been instructed to live in joy and dance in the midst of this time- and I will. For He knows my life and how I have longed for both! He is so amazing. Praise you Lord!

I am writing out my homeschool curriculum and gearing up for the fall. I have managed to get plugged in to some groups around town and look forward to that for all of us! Chris also has some awesome stuff planned for this fall at the church. Many of our family members have made plans to visit us which is awesome! All this with the knowledge that at any moment the sorrows will strike and our lives will be forever changed.

Next blog, I will talk about some big things and our big God, God willing! Until then, praise God for everything in your life- yes, even the stuff you don't like. Rend your heart to Him. There is no better time than the present. Honestly.

Be blessed in Christ.
