Weekend Goodness

Sometimes I crash from counting my joys and I wallow in self pity or frustration for our current situation with extending ourselves and opening our home.  I get mad at circumstances, not the people involved. Truth be told, people sometimes get the gist of my fury though.  The planner in me keeps butting heads with an adult who doesn't really know how to think things through and time is never of the essence. . .so we plug along, day by day and I breathe deep gulps of gratitude, lest my everyday joys cancel out my daily frustrations in a situation where I have very little control.  I keep praying about the parts of myself that need refining; the parts that keep being revealed...and I am reminded that ALL things will work together for good.  I don't know where we're going with all of this, but I know a 13-year-old has guidance, family, and the chance to be a kid who is taken care of instead of doing the care taking.  And that is good.

So was the weekend.  It was just the five of us, but it was jam packed with goodness and joy.

Besties for life.

Getting her art on at a cute party on Sunday.

Love. Roar.

My tiger love.

Painting with dad.
And that is enough.

  1. Great message! I am in the process of trying to rebuild & restore my career after years as a stay at home mom. I'm discovering that the corporate community is very unforgiving when it comes to stay at home moms returning to work. There are moments when I regrettably allow my mind to question if leaving the corporate world was the right thing. But God gently reminds me in the face of my now 17 1/2 year old son that yes it was the right thing. Stay the course.
