I wish my life was like this blog sometimes. I could put my life on pause and come back to it with full force. Well, the reason for this long pause was NOT for rejuvination- quite the contrary I must admit.
So about 12 days ago, on a Sunday, after being up all night long with Ellie who had an earache we were heading out the door to the urgent care when I sprained my back. This weeping girl would not let her dad take her so I hobbled to my errand. We found out that not only did she have an ear infection but strep throat which Kiki was complaining of a sore throat just moments earlier (she HAD to come to the doctor to keep her sister company of course!) What a process of healing we have been on these past 2 weeks! After antibiotics and chiropractic visits and now physical therapy, we are getting back into the swing of normalcy.
What is normal? I've been thinking about priorities and goals and money lately. There are such diverse definitions of "normal" when putting our lives in order. I NORMALLY would take time to pray, be in God's Word, reach out to friends, try to keep my family sane and take time for myself. Lately, it's not been in that order. Some may say, well, you have to take care of yourself above all else or you can't do everything else. I'm tired of that lie. God takes care of me. He makes sure we have a roof over our head, our bills get paid and He gives me the strength to love my family and friends. Without that truth, I will never feel peace. I won't ever be aligned, healthy, on the right path to success and all those other buzz words I've been bombarded with the past few weeks.
I'm ready to get back to NORMAL.

Christy, this brought tears to my eyes. You are so right. commit your ways to the Lord. Tithe your time to him first, or nothing else will ever feel "normal". This goes for me too. He'll be here before we know it, and we want to be able to look upon him as someone we know and love. And he will supply all our needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. His ways are not our ways, and our "needs" are not always his, but it is in those gaps between what we see we have and what we need that he builds our faith and reveals himself to us. Keep up the fight of faith, it'll be well worth it.
I love you!!
