So this is me and my hunky husband. He's probably protesting the picture as I pose behind him with my eyes almost squinted shut. Sigh. Anyhoo, this is us, and I think we look kind of young, don't we? I mean...do we REALLY look like we're at the beginning of our thirties?Is it too obvious that I haven't quite grasped how old I've become? I know my previous blog was about embracing this new period in my life, but as I found this picture, I was like, "Come on - REALLY?! Thirty?!". Well, regardless, that's how it is. Life goes on.
On another note, I was greatly encouraged this morning as I lamented not getting my quiet time before having to face the kids. Usually, I'm quite the cranky mommy unless I get some time to myself before starting our day together. However, I did get a few minutes to read some before heading to the kitchen to fix breakfast, and I read the verse "For it is in Him that we live and move and have our very being." (Acts 17:28). And I thought, "YES! That's it - my 'very being' is in Him, even when I don't get the time I want or need with Him in the mornings, even when my days are too full of running errands, homeschooling, etc. I can rest - and I can celebrate - because the only way I exist is that His breath of life is in me. How intimate is that?! The very breath I breathe - that comes through my nostrils - is His. It's proof of Him. It's Him, the very essence of Life, so intimately involved in every aspect of my BEING. I can worship Him as I simply live my life, because it's in Him that I live, move, and "am". Amen and amen.
