More than words

I love this Love Song. When I heard it again I couldn't believe how applicable it was to Daniel and I, especially Daniel. A lot of times words aren't enough.

"We must stop setting our sights by the light of each passing ship;
instead we must set our course by the stars."
~George Marshall


This is a quote that came my way at just the right time. How often do we look to others for answers, guidelines and an example by which to live our lives by. Personally, I've spent the past couple years trying to figure things out by looking at the light of passing ships..... "what's generally accepted; what's generally not?..... how far, how much, how little, how conservative, how liberal?..." Caught between legalism and 'anything goes', I've been trying to find the balance through my own understanding. I didn't realize how much until today.
I think God just wants a relationship with us. He's teaching me to bring my questions to Him before looking at what others accept. Everyones story is different and I am uniquely me; and God likes it that way. What he has for others may not be for me and vice versa. Some things may stay questionable and that's okay so long as my communication with Him stays open. We don't need all the answers; we just need Him.

Memorial Day

Mr. Clean & a look at our apartment

Micaiah can't stand clutter. He roams the house picking up anything lying on the floor. It then goes either in his playpen, the kitchen cabinets or the oven drawer. It's so funny to watch! Daniel says he reminds him of me. Especially when Ci takes one last look around, realizes all is cleaned up and then sighs as if saying, "Job well done".

Mesmerized

On Sunday, we put Winnie-the-Pooh in for Micaiah so he would stay in one place while we got ready for church. His favorite part is the song "Hephelumps and Woosels"!
The stuffed lion was handed down from one of my cousins. Ciah's had it since birth and is slowly getting used to it!

17 weeks in the making

New Hairstyle

A couple weeks ago, I was having "one of those days"! Any woman who reads this would understand. Clothes didn't fit right, no matter how I tried I still looked drab, not to mention, I was emotional to boot! About two in the afternoon I got this crazy idea that if I chopped my hair off all would be well. Sounds crazy, but it worked. I called Jamin the next day and said, "The answer to all your problems lies in a different hairstyle!" Now obviously that's not true but, I will say that sometimes you just need a change. It's exciting and afterwards life seems manageable again!
