Things have been going a certain way for awhile now, and it was a certainly reasonable way for them to go. We are allowed a period of living on survival mode whenever a big change has occurred in our lives.
But it's time for something different.
The weather changed, and it makes me want to follow suit. I am hoping to open up the windows and air out all of the areas of my life. Out with the old dusty, musty air, and breathe in the new, warm, fresh LIFE that is springing forth all around me.
Hopefully something lovely will blossom. Christlike characteristics in my heart, a potty trained 2 year old, a slimmer me, a baby that sleeps, a wife and mommy that loves unconditionally and speaks gently, and a home that is welcoming, tidy, and peaceful to enter.
Idealistic? Definitely. But it sure feels nice.
Em! I didn't know you had a blog!! (then again I never publicized mine either). Yay for blogs!! love you!
ReplyDeleteEmily, this is very encouraging. I love spring. Through spring this year, God has been revleaing things that I need to spring clean out of my life.
ReplyDeleteI love the end where you said, "Hopefully something lovely will blossom. Christlike characteristics in my heart, a potty trained 2 year old, a slimmer me, a baby that sleeps, a wife and mommy that loves unconditionally and speaks gently, and a home that is welcoming, tidy, and peaceful to enter." This is what I strive for, but at times fall short of. I want to be a wife and mommy that speaks gently and encouraging and have a home that is welcome and peaceful. Thank you for this encouragement.
That is what I want for me as well! Thanks for the encouragement!
