Sometimes, on nights like last Friday/Saturday, I get all frustrated and think, "This is not the life I envisioned then."
And it's not.
At all.
But that's not such a bad thing, ya know?
I had no idea how full my heart could get when I'd hear my six-year old son singing to his baby brother a made up lullaby about how much he loved his sweet baby brother.
I had no idea that I could love harder, faster andso fiercely over time than I did at 18, but I can, and that is a beautiful thing.
I had no idea that to grow we often must break first, and that these broken pieces can be fashioned into a new you that makes a devastatingly beautiful mosaic.
I know now that my mosaic is still being patterned and fashioned.... I'm finding theat letting go is the greatest thing we can do for ourselves, especially when we remind ourselves that we have chosen to let it go, meaning things are not going to turn out as we may have hoped or previously planned for.
My resolution is to more consciously let go of the things that I want to have my own control over and hand them to my God.
Tonight is a family night, watching movies, eating a good dinner in, and getting up in the morning to snowshoe (which we're hoping to make our NYD tradition now that we all have snowshoes! Well...Christopher has a backpack to ride in).
Be Blessed.
