Keeping it real

Our household is adjusting to Jon's new venture: school. It's not a super easy transition, in fact, it's hard for Jon to not stress out and it's hard for me to not stress out because Jon's stressed out.
So we find ourselves in a GREAT place to practice our faith. We are trying to keep giving our anxieties and fears to God daily, hourly, even by the minute.

In other random news for our family:

-Jarrah appears to have insomnia and has been up pacing at night. It keeps me awake and I'm less than kind to her when I get her to tell her to "put it!".

-Jarrah also is allergic to grass so she has all these bare patches on her legs where she's licked the fur off. She sort of looks like a baboon.

-Emma has a cold. It's always weird to me when I (and now Emma) has a cold in the summer. I have steered clear of getting hers so far but considering all the snot she's rubbed on me just today; it will be a miracle if I don't wake up with the sniffles.

-Jon looks good in his green scrubs.

-I am knee high in taxes at work.

-I LOVE the heat. July has not disappointed and I can welcome at least another month of these temps I hope.

-I'm tired to watching Clifford.

-I'm tired of second-guessing myself and comparing myself to others.

-I want VERY much to be the person that God made me to be (which includes accepting that it is not like anyone else). I want to accept that there is no "mold" and no "perfect way" for most things including raising a child.

-I would love to own all the scriptures I've been reading.

-I know that God is faithful to help me with all of these things as I surrender to Him and allow Him to change me.

  1. With all that change, it should satisfy your adventurous side for a while! :)
