My life is just right for me.

I always come into this wanting to write a long, elaborate, heartfelt, tear-filled post about something significant to share with the world (or just my facebook friends). My fingers can't keep up with my brain and I am left frustrated- not knowing how to get my thoughts out in a way that would make even the slightest bit of sense. So, I'll say what I know for sure- without a doubt, what is fresh and ever present in my mind, what needs no rough draft.

Every valid point, every thought-provoking instance that leads me to the keyboard to type- always, ALWAYS results with one invariable truth: our God is good, I am undeserving of His love, I am trying my best, I continually fall short, His grace is sufficient, I am truly blessed.

I was smacked in the face with renewed perspective this afternoon after a very hard and trying morning in our house. As I sat there, on the library floor, Noah in my lap, Bible stories in hand, I was overcome with emotion (straight from God- no other source). This is my life. As hard as it can be, it is just right for me. I've given up a lot to be here, and I'm no where near where I desire to be, but I'm headed in that direction and God is leading me the entire way...
