Hello August?

What have i been doing this summer? Last summer seemed to stretch endlessly and this summer has swept by like a fast moving train. I am just amazed it's already August.

Lifelong ambitions?
Since I stay at home with Ava and Sophia, I feel like I am always going, going, going. Ava stayed with my mom and dad last night and for the first night in a long while, I got to just breath. You know, that long breathe you get when you get a momentary break in life. I have been talking recently to Brandon about life, my dreams and things I want to accomplish. When I was a young girl I wanted to be a fashion designer, writer, CEO, yes, I am a first child. I wanted to be a judge or lawyer when I was out of college. Now I am a mom. At home. Isn't God funny how he uses us to do what he knows we really will find joy and peace in?

But, even when I was working as an aide in the Statehouse, I always felt that I wanted to do more, be more, to have something to create that was all my own.

Now that I am at home I still have burn out days. Days that are long and never ending. Days that seem to hold nothing glamorous like adding amendments to a bill that is fast-tracked through the House, but that mean more to two little girls that are the Lords.

We have been feeling a stirring lately. Stirring of something that is coming and that God is working or preparing us for. I guess I will just have to be patient and know that He is in charge and not me.

Here's a verse I have really been loving lately--Psalm 112.

PS. Shoutout to Marla T. for her 52 Zoos in 52 Weeks! What an amazing job!
