What we’re up to #5: me

Last but not least, right? A whole post about me…. hmm, don’t think I’ve ever done that. Feels kind of weird.

It’s a busy season of my life (see previous posts of what we’re up to and my role in all of that). I’m on my own with the kids a lot more than I prefer right now, but I also see how God prepared me for this during the youth pastor season. This is nothing compared to that, and I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Plus, I am a lot more involved with the house than with the youth group.

So, all this to say that my life is a lot about them….

and a lot about him…

And I’m pretty blessed by all of it.

Not to say that I don’t have bad days where I feel so guilty because I wasn’t a very nice mom, or the house is a disaster, or I’ve let someone down because I couldn’t spend the time that I want to with them or do the thing they want me to do. It is still such a balancing act where I am trying to be the best I can at all the different roles in my life. And sometimes I don’t try hard enough and am just selfish – I’ll be the first to admit that. But tomorrow is always another day to try, and God’s mercies are new every morning… thank goodness.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve gotten to spend some time with Mom… celebrating Mother’s Day with a little day trip to Friday Harbor.

Or meeting at the park for dinner with the kids. This is another picture taken by Symantha, my future photographer daughter

And I’ve gotten to celebrate some fun friends’ birthdays

Along with spending time with my Dad on Father’s day

Through it all, I am still pretty much obsessed with doing this….

My favorite hobby. I love the memories and the stories that pictures remind me of, and our lives get pretty well documented. Because I know this stage in my life will go fast, just like the ones before it, and I don’t want to forget any of it.

Well, I did it. Everyone is officially updated. Hope you enjoyed my little series! Now let’s see if I can keep up with blogging a little more, maybe I have formed a habit:)
