Ah, peace...

I missed a whole month! What have I been doing??

Well, we had 2 kindergarten parties to plan & execute, numerous crafts, shopping for crafts & Christmas preparations. I joined Facebook & that sucked 3/4 of my freetime...that site should be regulated by the FDA...

Anyway, here we are in 2009. Wow. That sounds so strange. 2009...It's like a fantasy year or something. It's almost unreal.

Many things come to mind as I sit & ponder a new year. Will my children get good teachers in the Fall? Will we sell our house? Will we find the right place to move if we can sell? Will the economy pick up long enough for us to snatch our savings from the hungry mouth of Socialism?

So many questions that we can't possible answer yet. And still we are pushed onward. Last year, 2008, was such a wonderful year of growth & discovery. My daughters outgrew diapers & pacifiers completely. My marriage moved into a new phase of comfort & security. My spiritual life reached a plateau of peace. I'm ok not being the god of my life. That's huge!

I seem to be resting in the afterglow of bliss after the passion of burning up all the pain of the past. I have dealt with, forgiven & moved on. I'm ready to live! I can breathe. I can stand & I can move deeper into God's will.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me the grace to relax in Your presence. Ah, peace. Sweet peace...
