Trying, but Not Really Caring

…not sure “trying” is accurate either, but this is where we are…

Here!

Yes, we are still present. I was doing so well at more frequent updates, then slowed back down. We spent a good week with a house full of a variety of illnesses…three of us had something different. Fuzzy had an ear infection….a first for my kids and was put on an antibiotic…another first. Very thankfully, JMA never got any of it. I think we are in the clear now! Yay!!!

We are now preparing for a big event this weekend. More on that laterrrrrrr!

Talk soon!

Weekender

We took advantage of a work conference JMA and a friend/teammate had in Orlando and made it a mini family trip sort of. The moms and kids enjoyed the resort amenities while the dads “worked”.

Reminded me of the way Rea use to do this.

Checking out the view from the room.

Dinner and fun at Downtown Disney with friends.

Fuzz’s first time exploring a pool.

I beach entry pools!!!

They are perfect for my non-swimming kids!

Growing Up

So close, but so far.

Can’t get enough of this.

Loves life.

Heavy

This week has been heavy.

The week began with the news that my friend’s 3 week old suddenly passed from this world. The heartbreaking needs of so many have been shared this week.

A lot of pain. A lot of sadness. A lot of needs. A lot of heartbreaking news.

A lot of searching for God. A lot of Holy Spirit moving. (I bet that phrase freaks a lot of “non-churchy” people out.). A lot of beauty.

Regardless, I choose…WE must choose to rest, believe, sit, trust, act on, share, live in God’s promises.

God promises are just that…promises. Defined as:

1. a declaration that something will or will not be done, given,etc., by one

2.an express assurance on which expectation is to be based

3.something that has the effect of an express assurance;indication of what may be expected.

4.indication of future excellence or achievement

The words are few. The thoughts are constant. The pain is great.

The days are heavy.
