Just a bunch of sentences

Wow... It's been awhile. Words escape me at the moment. Life is slowly getting crazy again which means things feel like total disorder. No set schedule... busy with sports and life. Through it all though God has granted me the biggest amount of calm I've ever felt since moving. Which is awesome to me because I feel this is the biggest time in our lives since moving. There is a ton of awesome big things happening at church and we are so excited to be apart of it. A new season for our women's Bible study semester is week's away and I'm excited to see what all God will do there as well. Other than school feeling crazy off somedays we have successfully completed 4 total weeks of our new year and are enjoying 3 days in to week 5. Around these parts everyone started back to school this week. The hustle and bustle of all the kids preparing made me even more thankful that we started so early this year. The groove of that alone has been nice. However, due to lack of schedule and the dire need of one (and the beauty of inspiration from a friend back home), I have been working on a daily schedule for us. One for each day of the week so we can see the switches on practice/game nights. Responsibility lists are included and I am praying to change the heart of not being paid for chores and finding other creative ways for our children to earn money. I have always thought it not right to pay them to clean up around the house due to that being a life skill they won't be paid for later. We are tossing ideas around and of course Pinterest is helping too. *snicker* I'm praying these are the tools to bring back some of what we feel has been missing since moving.

All in all though things are going really well. Busy but well. In the days and weeks now since God brought light to where our perspective has been wrong about our new state the peace that transcends is indescribable.  He is moving. We feel him. Even in the everyday. Honestly, in this situation it is a peace and unanxiousness feel I have never experienced before. I pray to not go backwards again. While I know humanly I will stumble but I pray not to the level I have been before. If that makes sense.

This verse found me the other day. It's timing in many areas in my life is wonderful. It's as if falling in love with Christ all over again. So grateful for his words and guidance.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:25

I know a way more upbeat post then of late, but I think it really speaks to all of our scripts. The seasons he has us in are up and down sometimes. Lessons to learn and grow from. Walking through the valleys aren't as lighthearted as the peaks of the mountains we have been lead to the top of. This is a mountain peak season for us. The valleys never the same lows and could be just plateaus but I have learned to walk out of the overwhelming feeling of those seasons, of all different levels, and pray I cling to those lessons and steps to over come overwhelmed when it's ugly head sneaks back in.

My script is growing.

My faith is growing.

What he is equipping us for is growing.

The lesson of the true meaning of perspective lately... life changing.
