Saying good-bye is hard. Good-bye to seven years’ worth of memories. Seven years’ worth of life lived. If there is one thing I can say about these four walls, they have held LIFE.
Last week I looked out our kitchen window into the yard and saw seven deer.
Then I promptly burst into tears.
This post by Ann blew me away.
A taste:
What if there were no Words?
What if the world kept rising and frothing and surging and there were no Words to cling to, no Rock to drag up onto? What if there were no Logos and it all just kept sweeping me away, far out and away?
I’m so thankful for the Words of Life and for the words of fellow bloggers to push me to His Truth.
There is no rhyme or reason to my days this week as we work up to our big move this weekend. So here’s a bit of my mind recently…
1. Why is it that every time I make a Genius playlist on iTunes, the Mmm Bop song from Hansen is on it? Why do I even own the Mmm Bop song from Hansen? Oh well, it’s great to dance to.
I have been following MckMama’s blog for over a year now, and her little boy is not doing well. You can read all about it here, and you can check her Twitter updates here, where she updates frequently on what is happening.
I can’t even begin to imagine. As I hold my little Bella close and enjoy a happy day with her, I am overwhelmed by the sadness they must be experiencing. Will you pray with me for MckMama’s sweet Stellan?
…with my Bella this morning.
I was sorting laundry when I heard her sweet voice call down from the loft.
“Mommy? Are you finishing your work?”
“Almost, love. What are you doing?”
“I’m happy,” a pause, then, “Are you happy in your work, Mommy?”
I hadn’t really thought about that today. I wasn’t unhappy. I was just kind of in “work mode”, but then I thought about how thankful I was that I was able to do laundry, that I had a washing machine, that I had clothes to wash and a roof over my head, that I had a little girl and two little boys and a wonderful husband to love and care for.
