I wonder...


How my kids know they should all get up at various times in the middle of the night on the one night I have decided to hit the hay early? It’s an amazing phenomenon…

Why my kids wake up at five a.m. on the mornings we have no reason to be awake and sleep in on the days we must be up early. Really? Must it be every.single.time. Talk about amazing phenomenon’s…

How at least one child will have an emergency bowel movement at the least opportune moment…like when there are no bathrooms within miles or when we are in the middle of checking out of the grocery store and the baby is crying….

Why kids think that whining gets them what they want when it never does…

Why I can’t figure out which battles are the best to choose…

Why the pace of time picks up exponentially after you have kids…It’s August already? How did this happen? Luke is going to Kindergarten in a week…arghh..

Why I am always in a rush and have found it increasingly harder to enjoy the little moments…

What the plan is…

How my kids know when to give me a kiss at just the right moment to lift my ragged spirit…

How they know the exact time I need to hear “I love you Mommy” to make all the wonderings go away…

Ecclesiastes 11:3 - 5 When the clouds are full of water, it rains. When the wind blows down a tree, it lies where it falls. Don't sit there watching the wind. Do your own work. Don't stare at the clouds. Get on with your life. Just as you'll never understand the mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman, So you'll never understand the mystery at work in all that God does.

  1. God's work is truly a mystery but it is amazing nonetheless. Great scripture.

    Kindergarten?! Wow. My oldest is starting middle school and I can't believe it. Where has the time gone?

    Hope all is well.

  2. God is the Ultimate "time-keeper" isn't He?

    "How my kids know when to give me a kiss at just the right moment to lift my ragged spirit…"
