a method to my madness



Friday Night. 4 girls. 4 boys. Age 2-12. 11 PM bedtime. 2 AM 2 year old screaming. 7 AM wake up call. Attention span of 5 minutes= birth control.

It was cousins night at Aunt Holly's.



I had a blast but I'm not sure how my sisters do it.

And I don't think Delsie has moved since they left.

oops.



the joys of having a disability and a service dog.

moments.


Last night I added my down comforter and even turned on the heat. (which I vowed I wouldn't do until November or December) Last weekend my sister and her family camped out at the State park. It was too hot to sit directly in the sun. My, my, what a week can bring...

...in a second, life can change. Dreams are shattered and the future is scary- in a moment. I live life with shattered dreams, I think we all do to a certain degree. My future is different, unknown and at times I live in fear of that.

God is not a God of fear. He promises me hope. Even though my dream may different, there is hope. I just have to trust that. (easier said than done)

These photos represent that hope God provides for me. The moments that are filled with tears and doubts, I remember my family. God's promise that I belong somewhere in this crazy world.

... a world where I am sitting like I just got off a horse. Yikes.
