Far Too Long

My goodness it has been way too long since I wrote in here last. I cannot believe what a crazy summer it has been. But such a good summer! We became an aunt and uncle to another sweet niece, Katie Joy. She is so adorable and I could snuggle her all day long. We were also so blessed to be invited to a bunch of weddings this summer. It is so wonderful to be there to celebrate with the bride and groom as them embark on a new adventure.

It has also been a summer full of growing. Growing in our marriage, growing in my relationship with God, and growing in my understanding of who I am.

I finish work this week and head back to school in a few weeks. I'm so blessed to have this time and I hope to fill it with many wonderful people and memories. Since one of my bestest friends leaves for 10 months in just a short while this time off gives us a chance to spend two full days together! How fantastic is that?!

I hope to start up on writing more often in the fall. There have been many things that I have been pondering that I would love to share with y'all. Some of them fun things that filled our summer and some of them just ponderings that have been whooshing around in my head.

I'll start back up with the 30 Things soon so you can continue to learn useless information about me.

I head up to camp this week to visit and I am so excited. Though it is going to be weeeiiirrdd as most of the staff have changed and I don't think I'll know any of the campers, though I'm pretty sure one of my favourites will be there. But shhh.... camp counsellors don't have favourites!

Hope all of your summers and been exquisite!

Day 6- Passages that have Impacted/Encouraged Me

 I have to try really hard not to begin these posts with "so". Apparently, that is my go to starter word...which is odd but true. I skipped yesterday due to the cold that was taking each member of our house captive one by one. Why is it never all at once? Sometimes this feels it would be easier than this long, drawn out affair we have been experiencing. Our youngest has had a fever for the past two days and while at first she handled it like a champ she, like all of us, only had so much to give before she just decided the whole being sick things sucks and is no over it. Anyway, I skipped yesterday and considered skipping today as well but then I felt like I wasn't really challenging myself then. So this might be another lighter post but the point was for me to write every day not write something groundbreaking every day (or ever!). So, when I looked at my list of things one that stuck out to me was Bible verses that have impacted me. I think that even if you aren't a

Starting Again

 Here we go again. I've decided (once again) that I really need and want to start writing again. How is this going to happen with one kid that won't leave my side and another that is pretty indifferent to sleep? I'm not sure but I'm going to try. I'm never entirely sure where to start when I start writing again. Do I follow prompts? Just write whatever the heck I want? A combination of the two? I've considered starting writing again without any connection to who I am...to allow myself to write more freely. Right now that thought is still on the table to be honest. I think the greater growing experience for me, however, would be to put myself in a situation where I journey let go of the pressure and expectations I put on myself for my writing to be something "spectacular" and to just write. Basically, I think what I'm going to do is an advent calendar of writing. Leading up to Christmas, for 25 days, I'm going to commit to writing something. It

My heart

I’ve been having a blast writing these blogs recently. I hope the 10 or so of you who read them are also having a blast reading them. :P  I had forgotten how much joy I get out of writing, for years it has been the way that I connected to God best, and also for a year or so it’s something I’ve stayed away from, for a variety of reasons. But that’s a blog post for another time, maybe tomorrow? ;) Or perhaps when I feel that’s the direction God is guiding my typing fingers.  My spiritual director and I were talking the other week about “Kairos” moments, which means in ancient Greek, loosely translated, a right or opportune moment. Or in the context her and I were talking about, the way that we best connect with God. So, in a sense, the opportune moments for us to connect with God. Make sense? When she asked what my kairos moment(s) was/were I didn’t have to think twice.  Being with people, encouraging people, really TALKING with people, asking the “How’s your heart?” questi
