shhhhhhhh!

we are still laying very low around here. there have been canceled plans because we just have not felt ready. we learned very fast that each moment is different. each moment is building a story. a great story i believe. a great story i pray. a great story that we will be able to look back on and say this is how it all began. it wasn't easy but it was the way God had planned it all along to be. this is what gives me hope.

i am learning to be thankful for every moment even the ones that are exhausting and frustrating...because it isn't just the ones when we are bursting with happiness or laughter takes over that are helping to build this story. our story. the kind of story that begins each day new again. the kind of story that even in the dark moments....HIS love will shine and renew us all. and we will sing praises in every single moment we live.

"living moment by moment" is something i have repeated time and time again to people who have asked me how we are doing. but now i am finally realizing that these moments are meant to be....these moments are creating our family story. our beautiful, chaotic, energetic, passion driven story.

but shhhhhh..... in this very moment we are still. we are at peace. we are at rest. i can feel my heart shouting....God is good. thank you God for this very moment.
