I need to write poetry, but I am only almost there—

I need to be held accountable for words, God's words.
For gathering them into hope bundles,
and setting them to wind as prayers returned...

I need to write poetry, but I am only almost there.



Someone hold me accountable!

I don't know even how to catch up this blog?! Well, we had a great time at Disney World. The kids didn't want to come home, and to tell the truth, neither did we! We experienced a large amount of stress on our trip home, as we got closer and closer to landing, my headache got increasingly worse, and my face and limbs started to feel numb.

After arriving, we realized that we were needing to make an adjustment in our life. We needed to pay off debt, and we needed to find time. We decided to move in with my grandma for a little while, make large payments against our debt and be closer to Mark's work, saving him hours upon hours. So, that is the plan...seems simple enough when you factor out the people. We truly feel like God is with us, and desires us to realign our way of life with how we believe we are called to.

I don't see how anyone does this without God. I don't think I would have survived the emotional wringer if I didn't know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is with us, and has been patient with us to come to this realization. God, we love you and thank you for your patience and endurance! Please send us some of the same as we plod along on this new adventure you have for us!

Anyway, I hope you are finding yourself refreshed this Sunday, that you took time for all the little things, as well as time for nothing!

Well, we're back from the wonderful world of Disney!

It was a great time, and fantastically, we found the blessing of refuge there despite the thousands of other bodies cramming in line for 30 minutes or more to ride a 60 second ride. :)

It was great to be a kid for a week.

I'll post pictures soon! It's good to be home with my blender. :-P
