6 months old! that's how old our baby girl is today. the past 6 months have literally flown by and i have had trouble keeping up. it all came to a halt as i woke up this morning feeling rather sick, which of course, i do not have any time for. adelaide's 6-mo. check up was today as well, so ben came on home after half a day of work to bring her to the pediatrician with me. she's perfect, no surprise there.
today was also the memorial service for Michael Jackson, which i mostly watched online. a sad sight, especially for his 3 young children. also made me reminiscent of my own father's service just a short time ago. still seems quite surreal that my dad has passed away. some days i feel it hard and strong and others it just doesn't quite seem like reality.
my days lately seem like a blur. i try to let life slow down and just breathe naturally, but it is hard to get air. i am becoming thirstier for a drink of life from my Jesus daily, and continue to pray that He would revive me with some fresh air.
i feel as though i'm learning a lot about life and about giving up my own will. it is hard not knowing what the Lord's plans are for our family in the immediate future, concerning ben's work and our location, but in the meantime i will soak up the goodness that we are now where we are supposed to be and it's usually for a bigger purpose than what i can see.
thank you, Lord, for a moment of peace amidst the chaos of life.
