The rhythm of the days...




To blog as a mom, at least for me, is no small thing...i can barely take a shower every day or walk out the door feeling dressed, sane and ready. The rhythm of my days seems faster than my feet can walk. Inside, my home is messy and things are left undone. My time with God feels "undone"...not finished. But isnt that how it truly is anyway....a continual "undone" conversation?


God continues to bless us in spite of our efforts (or lack of).....reminding me that He truly gives grace...dependent on Him only. Not my actions or how well i prepare ( or most likely dont prepare)


This last month has been full of family, friends, hardships, tears that bring me to His feet, old music, new music, time on the road singing with Caedmon's and the blessing of bringing Bennett ( this picture is of him on stage before a show...playing Todd's drums). I miss people, i love family,....i feel lonely.....i feel joy being at home with Bennett...i feel poor....i feel rich with love and friendships....i feel loss alongside others....i feel gain in frienships at church.....i FEEL...which is a blessing i know! To not feel is the worst, and ive been there too....


Im just blogging...talking.....thinking out loud.....thankful for a place to lay my thoughts down where a few friends and family will listen. ....I love you guys. You who read this every now and again and take the time to step into our world with us.


Blessings

Great post! Sorry I've been MIA- went to Atlanta Friday morning until last night.

Wanna hang this week? I'll call you tomorrow.

i totally resonate with the ebb and flow of those emotions. and definitely resonate with what it means to leave the house in one piece. sometimes it's just good to know that you're not the only one who feels those things...so thanks for sharing!
love to you...
