Life has been all things but normal right now. I don’t even
know what normal is for us yet. Well, maybe I know what normal looks like for
my husband, and my son (as normal as things can be with an 11 week old), but I
have no idea what normal looks like for me.

Life is crazy, my house is hectic, today I didn’t even
realize I hadn’t brushed my teeth until….well maybe I shouldn’t tell you that
much or you might just not visit this blog anymore. Praying these days usually
comes when I am sitting in a rocking chair nursing my boy. I am ashamed to say
this but my Bible is buried under a mess of a…well what is supposed to be our
office/sewing room/whatever else we decide to make that space. Any verse I have
wanted to read has been through Bible Gateway or the app on my phone. I never
shower at the same time of day anymore…actually most of the time the only time
I bathe is in the bath with my son at night or when we have to go to church. (You
haven’t left this page yet, have you? Good).

Oh, but my heart is oh so full.

I know it won’t always be like this. I know soon (hopefully
this weekend) we will have our house completely in order. I know that once our
house isn’t consuming so much time, I can get myself on somewhat of a normal
daily pattern finding the best time to have devotions when Jase is content or
sleeping, as well as finding the best time to get things done for church. I
know the ten minutes here and there where I am able to pray isn’t exactly
ideal. The ten minutes here and there that I spend writing lessons and
classroom guides for church isn’t really that productive. But I know it’s just
a season, and God is totally gracing me in this season.

My heart is full of God’s grace and patience with me when I
can barely even get ten minutes in with Him a day. My heart is full of the
amazing opportunity I have in being a part of such a wonderful church. My heart
is full of joy in having the chance to impact the lives of children as my job.
My heart is full from watching my husband go to work every day to a job he has always
dreamed about. My heart is full from my husband’s patience with me when the
house may be messier than it was when he left. My heart is full from the love
my husband still has for me when I haven’t showered, brushed my teeth, and am
wearing the same pair of shorts and t-shirt I was two days ago. My heart is
full when my baby boy looks up at me and smiles. My heart is full when he stops
eating just to talk to me.

Oh, my heart is full of so many blessings!
Life may be a bit crazy in this season, and I my days may be
a little bit hectic, but I know things won’t always be this way. I guess it’s
all about learning to love the season you’re in…even the hectic ones.
