Groundhog Day...

I haven't posted much recently.  I have had lots of memorable moments with the boys.  Life is never dull with them around.  However, there are times when I don't feel like I have much to say.  It's almost like life gets turned into a Mommy version of the movie "Groundhog Day."  It's the same day everyday...

I don't want it to be like that.  I don't think it will stay this way.  It's just how I've felt over the past few weeks.  Funny, how life can be a new adventure for children everyday..and I get stuck looking at the sink full of dishes, the laundry that needs folded, the diapers that need changed, the food that needs prepared.  I think that's the challenge for Moms.  It's finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.  It's waking up...and not just walking through life in that "Mom" daze.   

My prayer is that God will "wake me up" .  I know the these days will pass all to quickly.  I don't want to miss them.... 

I love Fall

I love fall.  I love the cooler weather (although Tulsa does not get cool quickly enough for my tastes...).  I love Fall activities.  I love taking the boys to Pumpkin Patches and Apple Orchards.
I love that I can have the windows open.  I love that our air conditioning bills are down and our heating bills have not started to rise.  I love long sleeved T-shirts and jeans.  I love a cup of hot coffee in the morning when it's chilly outside.  I love the leaves turning.  I love driving along a tree lined street when the wind blows leaves off the trees and they tumble down around my car.  I love pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks.  I love season premiers of my favorite TV Shows.  I love Fall!

Immanuel - Songs Of Praise

This was absolutely beautiful. I sang in choirs all through grade school, middle school, High School and College. I would have loved to just stand in the middle of this sanctuary and listen....
