Danielle

Okay, so my sister Danielle has a blog and I inconsistantly read it, always thoroughly in awe of her faith and sincerity. It inspires me. Actually, what inspires me is her declaring of faith and the results of her faithful actions. Her stories are remarkable and speak volumns about the closeness of our creator in our lives. So, I am inspired, like I said before, to write about my battles with life and God and how I make it through due to his promised deliverance.

The Spirit of Laziness

Good Morning! I come to you with the spirit of laziness on my heart. Here's my question, do you ever feel completely lazy? I'm sure many of you would raise your hand and say "yes", depending on the day or situation of course. I'm experiencing the feeling of laziness as I approach this dreary Thursday morning. It's slightly humid and gray outside, chances of rain threatening our summer day. But I notice I am not feeling lazy due to the cloudy weather heading us to harbor indoors. I've felt this sense of laziness for the past couple of weeks. And I am drawn to dissect it, yearning for understanding. Here's where I feel lazy.... The foods I am feeding my family. Simple sandwiches with a side of carrots and water. One pot meals with no veggie sides, McDonald's breakfast, chips and fruit snacks for snacking, cold cereal for breakfast and lunch, and the list goes on. The house I am living in. I go in spurts here. I will have weeks when I am on top...

Life is So Noisy

Life is so noisy. What I think I really mean is life is so busy, but saying it's noisy sums up more of the overall feeling to life right now. It is a pounding, reverberating headache that ceases to alleviate. It's 1 o'clock Saturday morning, and I had finally dozed into a dream when I heard the cry of my son, Leo. Instantly, I knew the cry. It was the cry for help, he had gotten sick. For a split second I squeezed my eyes shut hoping his cry would fade away, so I could enter back into the dream that still loomed in my head. But instead, I quickly shot out of bed, grabbed the trash can from the bathroom, just in time for his first rounds. Poor kid. Earlier, he had fallen asleep on the couch with a low fever and I had hoped that that would be all it mounted to. Again, poor kid. The thing about sickness is, once one person gets it it is a matter of time before the rest of the crew catches it too. Leo is the 4th to last to get this. Now it's looming when Luke will come down...

Tidy House

March 12th, 2017 I just spent the whole day tidying my house. Not cleaning, tidying, like picking up everybody's stuff laying around the house. Seriously though, I love tidying. The picking up and putting things back in their place. Finding the missing sock and marrying it back to its lone mate, finding toys stuffed between seat cushions and putting them in their rightful place, making the kids bed and putting their favorite toy or stuff animal as the centerpiece of their bed, laundry is caught up, just the simple act of putting things back into their place. It's work, but it's refreshing the rest of the week knowing lost items were found, broken pieces tossed, and everything is put in its rightful place, at least for that  day. My floors still need cleaned, urine clings to bathroom toilets, tabletops need dusted, but everything is tidy. I feel like I can breathe more easily when I can see floor space or counter space. Though I still have a whole list of rooms that need c...
