Newness

Here we are-

It feels like only one year ago I was posting something from a new home in a new town- wait, that was only a year ago!  Here I am again, posting from a new home in a new town.  Talk about a whirlwind- the past year has been nothing short of beautiful survival. 

Our family has learned so much about ourselves it's kind of embarrassing.  We knew we were survivors and servers but never knew to what extent or how fierce we were in our core. 

As we start this new year in the beautiful state of Texas I am realizing I am the person I have always fought not to be.... and can I just say I love it.  I never thought I would be a full time stay at home mom... graduate school has come and gone and I am finding myself daily intoxicated on family life.  I never thought I would be a mom of 4- now I cannot imagine my life with any less fingers and toes in my house.  I never thought I would not be leading worship- I cannot tell you how God is moving this around and messing up my life but His plans are greater and my heart is continuing to swell in a different direction and beat with a whole new purpose.  I never thought I would be homeschooling all of my kids- now, each day we greet the day with a devotional followed by math, reading lessons, geography, art, alphabet, numbers, silly songs.... you get the picture.  Never thought I could love someone so much- when I look at the man God placed in my life I just can't get over how full of love my heart is.

God is all about messing stuff up and I know that first hand.  Here are the facts-

here is to all things being beautifully messed up;0)

I am starting a blog on wordpress in February.  I will post more info on that in the next couple of weeks...
