love

Since I've recently spent time moaning about the transition Silas has been undergoing these past few weeks, I realized I needed (yet again) a perspective change. I think it's those things that we teach and preach that often elude our own practices!
There are so many quirky and amazing things that Silas does on a regular basis, and I just don't want to forget them, nor do I want to wish away some of life's greatest moments. So here's my "loving the twos" list:

~ I love how Silas wants everyone to enjoy whatever food he is eating. He will demand that you try any food he's currently consuming with pleasure. Hungry or not, you better figure out a way to make him think you ate it (and liked it)!
~I love how he congratulates himself on any and everything he thinks is worth an applause with a boisterous high-pitched YAY!

~I love how he loves to be around a group, and group, even if they are is animal friends.
~I love how when you play "hide and seek, " with him, he can't stand to hide for more than two seconds before running out and giving himself away. (He's a much better seeker than hider.)
~ I love his laugh when he's doing something that you've said no one else does (like sneaking some raw whole wheat flour as seen above).
~I love his excitement when I play his favorite playlist of music. He just can't believe that all his favorite songs are continuously played back to back. (On the top of the list are "Happy" and "All the People Said Amen!" you can't help but love these songs too.)

~I love how he started saying he's going to work to type (apparently that's what daddy does for a living). Then he'll immediately return, say hello, and when prompted, "how was your day?" he always says fun (I hope it's always that way buddy!).

~I loved watching him go up down up down on his first carousel ride (and I love how he chose to ride the frog).

Silas, no matter how bad your day is (or mine), or how unpleasant you may seem, I will always love you so much!

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...
