I realize that I have been MIA for awhile. It has been a difficult few months as I have struggled with learning that I can't plan out my life. It is a lesson that I have known and expressed to others-- but isn't it always the case that sometimes the best advice you give others, you never fully listen to yourself!
Often times it takes a breaking point and good cry before you can fully let go; I had my good cry yesterday (and a little this morning as well). I don't like being out of control, and lately I have felt like I have no control at all. When I threw out my back (again) on Wednesday and layed in bed feeling exhausted and weak, I almost lost it. I realized I can't do it all, nor am I expected to. There is someone in control, and I need to let Him take care of things -- I need to let go and trust in God. In the words of my precious Zachary last night: "It be okay Mommy."
I live a wonderfully blessed life -- and I am so thankful for such!
So with my renewed spirit (at least for a little while), I can jump back into this life and take one day at a time.
Even though I have been out of sorts lately, I can boast of some fun times with my precious boys (Joe included). I'll post pictures soon of some of our joyous summertime moments.
