I need to dance in the kitchen more.  Do a jig with the yamaha piano demo in the living room.  Sing opera with the girls when (shh!) mom's not home.  Play pickaboo around the dining room table, and have a race around the kitchen island.  Do sock wars in the basement and dress up, complete with funny makeup and a cape.  Make smiley face pizzas and bagels.  Draw.  Write.  Read.  Just because the little ones aren't so little anymore doesn't mean much.  You usually just miss out on a liiiiittle more sunggle time, and get a few more tears from the newly-hormonal kiddos than any of the others. Life's just got a different name: it's called different.  Different is always different, and it brings me to my knees.  It leads me to that place I need to be to rest in the hollow of God's hand and know that He is never different.  He is never-changing, and always-constant.  Thanks to different, I get to see Jesus in light of all His glory, perfection, and riches of wisdom, love, patience, and grace.  I find He is everything that I am not - which is a whole bucket full, people.


Oh, what a blessed soul I am!

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

I haven't a voice the past three days (which said days included new years at the Robinetts - I talked zilch, laughed too much =P).  Yes, yes... I have a cold.  I've learned a couple things after losing (and somehow maintaining the fact) this voice of mine: 1) I talk more often than I should.  My lack of being able to express myself has shown me how often I shouldn't. 2) I need to think more before I express myself.  I tend to throw so much out there, speaking my mind when others may just (gasp!) actually not want to hear it.  Humility, Anna dear.  3)  I'm really grateful I have a voice.  When I do have one, of course. My thought process right now: 1) I need to go do something useful and worthwile. 2)  I need to be journaling here more often... cause I've gotten way out of the habit, and I have sooo many thoughts I want to write down every morning I read during devotions.  I need to make this a bigger and better priority in my life than...
