There has to be More

Somewhere above California, I'm contemplative. There has to be more. I'm 15 pages from the end of Ann Voskamp's 1000 Gifts and 100 pages into Craig Groeschel's Wierd, and I know there's more. More to giving. More to enjoying. More to changing...impacting...really making a difference. There's more than what I'm doing now...more than what we're doing now. I have to come up...to grow up. God's calling, "Higher, higher...come up higher." But sometimes to do that, we have to go lower. We have to go back to where we detoured in the first place. To move forward, sometimes we have to go back...get perspective. Back to the roots. Back to what you knew back when. Back to what was working; where'd we go wrong? Back to simple....simple. Back to quiet.

Just a List

I have nothing to offer today except a list...a simple list of thanksgiving...and a prayer that it's enough.

121. Boys' laughter in nighttime baths

122. Time away...almost too much

123. A girls' shopping trip...it's fun to just be a girl again

124. His quiet guidance

125. Smiles on faces I haven't seen in awhile

126. He's saying Momma...and I think he knows that's me!

127. Giggles on playgrounds

128. Childhood memories

129. Funny pictures from shower-curtained bathroom stalls

130. New adventures
