Look at that! A year has almost passed since I last wrote. I think I was having a hard time just writing about my life...seemed so....vain. But now I have a new look on it and I will be writing....hopefully. I would really like to journal how God is at work in my life and the lives around me. I want to be so aware of His presence...but often I get so distraction by the "noise" around me that I lose the "sound" of Him near me. I don't want that to happen as often as it does, and so I will write on a semi regular basis to constantly be cleaning out the "noise"! I think the idea of "noise" ( as I keep writing it) is perfect for how I feel. I feel like, just in general, I am always looking for quiet. With 3 little ones running around it something that I value a lot! Don't get me wrong, my life would be feel incomplete without the noise. But it's such a good analogy for me because of the stage of life that I am in. I crave quiet, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it if I had it for too long. I crave God's presence, but what am I going to do with it when I'm able to harness that awareness. This also goes with the whole idea of enjoying TODAY! How much more will I enjoy today if I am aware of the supernatural work of God in my life and the lives of those around me? How can I not find joy in that! Even if we are going through hard times, the awareness of our God...our kind, good, just, loving God is enough to give us joy. Not always happiness, but joy....a sense of hope...and therefore a little more peace in our lives.

Sunday, February 3, 2008
So here I sit...February 3rd, starting the blog I wanted to start at the beginning of the year. That's my life. Not always on schedule, but things still get done!
Today is an overcast day which definitely fits the mood.
It's been a whirlwind of a week and I was ready for some rest.
Jonas has a horrible cold. No one wants to subject an infant to breathing treatments, but that's what I have to do. It's actually not too bad, I think he rather likes the drone of the motor. Almost every time I give him one, he falls asleep.
There is something so beautiful about a baby sleeping. It's funny that they (who are they?)always say,
"Sleep like a baby" I always thought that was strange because babies don't really sleep that well. Well, most don't.
I think that it's more about how they look when they sleep.
Somehow adults don't look that sirene when they sleep. Some are actually terribly unattractive. With their mouths hanging open, drool seeping out... hum.
My friend Rose was actually told she was a beautiful sleeper recently.
She looked so peaceful I guess.
That's what Jonas looks like when he sleeps, peaceful. Really what does he have to dream about but pretty good things? so innocent.
Well, I didn't start this blog to use it as my mind journal. I wanted to start one because we have so many family members that aren't around. And I thought this would be fun to help keep them up to date. I know a lot of others do that. I'm just a little late in the setup!
So hello family. My idea is to update weekly, I'll let you know what we've been doing. And hopefully it will help me take more pictures of our adventures. (because we are so adventurous? going to the park, the grocery store, you know, all those amazing places!)
