The week is coming to an end.

Many times I thought "I need a vacation."

Emma has been diagnosed with pink eye again.

We've been to the doctor more with this than any thing else.

I'm not completely convinced it's the correct diagnosis.

The "routine" of life with one car has been grating on my nerves.

Waking up at 5:30am is exhausting.

My attitude has gone from thankful to grumpy.

I'll get over it.

I'll find away to press on.

Relying on His promises.

But I can still say this week was hard.

Some precious moments I'm thankful for this morning while I blog and drink my coffee.

notice the blue marker by shortie's face. What a mess =)

LOVE HIM...MISS HIM

Introspections

I lose myself in the day to day.

I lose who I want to be as a wife, mother, believer, and friend.

I get distracted by stress; it takes over every fiber.

I look at my plans for the day, week, month, and year.

I have high expectations of what it's going to look like.

It never looks the way I planned.

Some times I'm okay with that, but some times it throws me for a loop.

The loop is hard to recover from.

Some times days will pass, and I'm still stuck.

I just can't seem to grasp the concept of being okay with not knowing.

Yes, I'm a control freak.

Not all the time.

But most of the time.

I am learning to give that over to the One who knows everything.

His hands are more capable than mine.

He's doing some amazing things.

He wants to show me how great He is.

My eyes are refocusing.

My attitude is changing.

My lack of control is not causing as many heart palpitations.

I'm learning to LOVE the adventure.
