"For you and I are past our dancing days"

A have neglected my poor readers anything new (all three of you) to read, and for that I apologize. I have had a tremendous amount of "life stuff" going on, and I can't even begin to tell you about it all. Mother's Day was great-- got to see both my sister, brother, and their significant others. I think my momma felt loved so that was all that mattered. We have had a lot of stuff going on with our family though so please keep us all in your prayers. Good stuff though. Just lots going on.
Not to mention I tried to move all my stuff (minus furniture- except my needed tiny desk-thank you matthew!) this past weekend, and now I'm in the trenches with Sir Wiliam Shakespeare trying to wrap my head around 4 plays in two weeks with projects, papers, and other assignments "oh my". Did I mention that I'm like one of the oldest students in the class and I think I forgot what was cool to wear as a college kid? I shouldn't have showered, nor put on any mascara, and I forgot my big pearl earings! :) I tease.... it's just taking some getting used to. Oh how I miss Shepherd Center and my girls at Colonial Grand right now.
Well... I must leave you with a perfect Romeo and Juliet quote as I am about to dive into the infamous play along with Othello, Titus Andonicus, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.... Wish me Luck!!! I am going to need a great deal of coffee to get me through this one!

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. I really ju...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
