Oh Life.

It sure loves to fly by these days. I am pretty sure if you were to come by my windows I would appear like a chicken with its head cut off. I feel like I am singing the same tune as last week. I honestly think I have lost my focus on our school days and have been caught up in so much more. I feel like maybe we need a different approach in curriculum for next year or I really need a shift kick! Maybe a unit study approach but you know then all the "are you covering what needs or enough creep in." I am seeking so hard on what we are to be doing. One option would be expensive but would take all the question out and I think would actually give us more time for the extras. Back to the seeking and listening I go... hi ho hi ho.

God is really talking lately. I keep asking him for revelation and he keeps pointing out all the areas I need to lay at his feet to listen for revelation. That word has been brought up a lot since last Thursday. I was told to write it down and pray over it. It's awesome how when you lay a word out all that God brings with it. Although the answers aren't there yet they are coming. There was one thing last Monday I wrote in my journal asking for some clarity one and this last Monday a girl at my Bible study shared part of her story that I honestly felt she shared just for me. It was like God was taking my questions from the week before and said, "Here is some comfort." Talk about water works! It was nice he had me buy a box of tissues before service.

The last 7 days have been so incredibly awesome and insanely busy at the same time. Busy with fun. Last week my husband scored some free basketball tickets to a local ABA team. We were so excited to attend and there were only maybe 30 people in the arena to watch. It was amazing! While we were there a gentlemen for the NBA D-League team that plays there came out and gave everyone free tickets to that nights D-League game AND free tickets to last night's game for the same team. Talk about AMAZING!!!! There isn't a bad seat in the arena it was the first time the kids had ever seen a live basketball game. 2 games on Saturday and 1 yesterday... they are in love! I played all throughout middle school and varsity in high school so I loved watching them love it. We all can't wait to go back. They were the most fun we have ever had a game. Pro games included. We also met a legend last night. He was such a sport while he took a picture with our daughter. HAHA He totally knew that picture was strictly for my husband and I.

We are hoping to be able to enjoy as much as moments like that as possible. I have a feeling there are some changes coming our way this year that won't allow us as much get up and go freedom like we are wanting/some what used to. It'll be really hard but in the long run it will be really good. We are still praying about it and truthfully I am having a hard time with it, but God knows what he is doing and if he is laying something on my husband's heart than how can I argue if he is praying about how to pursue it?

Plans to prosper us, right?

There is so much I want to write but truthfully my thoughts keep going along to the tune of Little Einstein's playing in the other room. It's hard to write and have your fingers move to their beat. haha.

I can say though even though life is running away with me right now it is really good. God is doing some amazing things in my faith and I am amped to see where it goes. It's awesome to "get to" worship him and have a relationship with him. Working on this Nehemiah study has been amazing!!! To have that passion that Nehemiah has... oh how wondrous that would be.

I have slacked in making my full month of February meal plan and have totally stunk making any meals the first 2 days of this week. Oh there is so much I want to work on and accomplish. It'll come sometime right!? :)

Oh and can I just say... I loathe laundry! Like seriously who needs clothes and blankets!? The laundry monster will not leave me alone even if I paid him! HAHA.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings. I'm here. I'm doing good and wishing life would slow down... even just a little. :) On the plus side it's been gorgeous outside and the kids are loving playing in the front yard, riding their bikes on our quiet little street, and learning/playing with their new basketball hoop... another wonderful free Craigslist score by my husband. (I think he is obsessed with checking that section haha... God has been gracious through it though!)

I'm happy to be able to soak up these moments though... even as crazy as they are. I'm loving this part in my script and praying for more revelation as the words come across.

Hope life is finding you just as well! I miss you guys! I hope all is going great with you wonderful ladies too! Love you!
