Life has been so...well...lifey lately. From a trip to the ER whilst under blizzard warnings for Silas to get stitches in his lip to preparing for Christmas, from traveling to visit family to everyone getting sick (including the babes!), from getting settled back home and attempting to re-establish some kind of routine to having students and youth leaders over to hang out...there have been few, if any, dull moments around here.
.
And so this little blog has faded to silence.
.
But in the silence, I am learning. Learning that without a doubt there are many other women who do a better job than I at mothering. Many others who have more energy than I. Many others who are more creative, more organized, and who can cook a better meal. But at the end of the day, I'm ok with that. Because at the end of the day, the three little ones in our house don't really care about other mothers. They just want this one.
And I am learning that daily there are things that have "happened that the works of God might be displayed in [us]". (John 9:3) I am praying for eyes to see our circumstances not from my very temporal perspective, but from His.
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." (2 Corinthians 4:17)
