Swirls

Six months can feel like a lifetime and a lifetime worth of events can happen in that time. I don't recommend it! Sometimes I wonder how I have ever made it through this year...Only through God's grace and strength have I made it is all I can say. My sweet friends have been wonderful too and I am SO thankful for God's blessing of true and authentic friendship.

First start off with the toughest classes of kindergartners to teach.

Decide now is the time to sell your house.

Sell your house to the first buyer through the door.

Yikes, need to find a house before April 30th!

Have a baby 9-10 weeks early.

Go from a 2 income family to a one income family

Move in June.

Bring home a baby in July.

Become knee deep in parenthood with a very fussy baby and a transition from 2 becomes 3.

Loose your mom and best friend.

I am so tired. I am so weak. In college, I was in a deep valley and I thought I would never be back in the depths again and here I am back in the depths of the valley. I'll climb out again...

So thankful for HIM.

I will leave you today with a song that I played over and over on the drive over to see mom for the last time here on earth.


To Know You
by Casting Crowns

To know you is never worry for my life, and
To know you is to never to give in or compromise
To know you is to want to tell the world about you
Cause I can't live without you

To know you is to hear your voice when you are calling
To know you is to catch my brother when he is falling
To know you is to feel the pain of the broken hearted
Cause they can't live with out you.

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All reaching for, I live my life to know you more
I leave it all behind, you are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know you more
To know you is to want to know you more

To know you is to ache for more than ordinary
To know you is to look beyond the temporary
To know you is believing that you will be enough
Cause there is no life without you

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I'm reaching for, I live my life to know you more
I leave it all behind, you are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know you more
To know you is to want to know you more

All this life could offer me, could not compare to you
Compare to you
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing you
Knowing you

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I'm reaching for, I live my life to know you more
I leave it all behind, you are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know you more
To know you is to want to know you more

Compared to you
Compared to you
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing you
Knowing you
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing you
Knowing you
