Well, its been quiet a while since my last post...life seems to keep moving along, and its not loosing speed that is for sure!! When I looked back, I realized that it has been over 2 years since my last post. Its really easy to forget to write, even when my heart is always telling me to sllllloooowww down...and take the time to do so.
This is much easier said than done! Especially when you have a 4 year old boy who is in a constant state of universal discovery and exploration, as well as a toddler who tries everything at least once! Oh boy do they ever keep me on my toes. They really are the source of so much incredible inspiration as they teach me more every day. Their souls are pure and true, always calling me back to this moment. Now. That is all we really have isnt it? How many times have I thought to myself as I look over their sleeping little bodies, oh how I wish I could just pause....pause this moment.
The monotony of each day can sometimes get the better of us. It can really grind us down to a feeling of mediocrity. God has given us THIS life, THIS moment, THESE people to love, these sights, sounds, and tastes...just for us to enjoy and experience. Even on the hardest days, there is a small whisper, that reminds us that we are here and now right where we are supposed to be. I want to open my heart to finding out that this is exactly my calling, and I am MORE than blessed to be here, MORE than enriched in this very place and time. It is only up to us to recognize, and pause long enough to be grateful for them.
Would you do this with me? Would you step off the never ending treadmill of life to soak in the simple joys of today?
Take a breather, enjoy the quiet, and sometimes loud moments of joy. Not asking for anything more, than exactly what that moment brings.
"This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it". (Psalms 118:24)
P.S. Can you seriously believe how big these two kiddos are getting??!!
