february discoveries



february has come and gone....but there were quite a few discoveries


...my hubby and i need to date more again. we've put that aside due to finances and finding sitters, but we definitely need to get back into the dating habit. we shared a quiet cup of coffee one morning at our local joint. it was sweet.


...my man does a great job at holding down the fort while i take off for a week


...son definitely thrives on attention.


...princess thrives on snuggle time


...both kids are growing and we are discovering their gifts, personalities, and attitudes


...i've discovered a desire/need to be intentional


...reading - i've missed that. a year of dizzyness really didn't lend itself to reading. in february i read 3 books.


...discontment - this is actually a good thing. God is shaking up my little world!


...fears - this is a whole other blog post in waiting


...self-control - yep, starting to see it develop:)


...energy balls (find me on pinterest) these are AMAZING little balls of joy:) which is the one area i find i have NO self-control over!


...almond milk - not too bad, for smoothies


...a reminder in the sufficiency of scripture


...that i wish my sister lived closer


overall february was a great month. i love those short ones. it was a rather mild weather month. warm one day, snow the next, rain the next, sun again. just weird....but the one thing i continue to discover is God's sovereignty and grace is unchanging.

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
