Hello little blog space. It's been too long. I don't know how the days rush by leaving me no time to sit down and write. I miss being here recording my thoughts, fun things we have done, the ways the kids are changing, and my meal plans. I need to figure out a new groove, a new rhythm...
need to. It's now past the half way point of summer, and we have had some fun, but it has been nothing like I had in my head. It seems things rarely turn out the way I had them in my head, though. I hope these next few weeks of summer bring some more fun and relaxation, some good meals, and
hope. There have been some pretty significant changes going on in my life, but more than that, so much sadness around me. Sometimes it's too much. I don't know why God chooses to work the way He does. I keep clinging to the fact that He has it all figured out, and I don't.
He is able, more than able, to accomplish what concerns me today. He is able, more than able, to handle anything that comes my way. He is able, more than able, to do much more than I could ever dream. He is able, more than able to make me what He wants me to be.
Here are some pics from our summer fun so far (unedited from my phone)...
