When the Cup Overfloweth

It's been a half-year since I posted last, and while nothing has changed about who I am, I'll admit I am reporting from the landscape of another universe. Far away, and only imagined in the  half-sleeps of my previous life.



I read back through my posts, and I am in awe of how exciting life is. Of how tragic it can be. And mostly, at the simple ignorance of not knowing what is next.

That is the beautiful thing about this life... you never know, what is right around the corner.

SO, here is the news!
My four fish feet have become eight. Just like that...
with Gods love and timing... we have doubled!

I don't know how else to say it except that I have somehow (by the Grace of God) fell into what I know will be lasting love. And with him, comes the precious gift of another daughter.

It's humbling. It's beautiful. And, yes, a bit scary at times.

It would be easy for me to say that it has changed the entire course of my life. But, I'd rather say it was the experience of me walking into exactly where I was supposed to be.

I have no idea how I got here. But, here I am.
And, I want to share this feeling that is on my heart:

Life is mostly mundane. Sometimes, unexpected. And, mostly, challenging.
We complain and we stretch, and we plan.

And sometimes, if we are paying attention, we get a glimpse of God Himself. He gives us a gift, and with it comes overwhelming happiness, and peace and fulfillment. It is unlike anything we could ever try to recreate in our simple human lives. It is a gift, and it comes with responsibility.

It's like my entire life has been preparing me for this precise moment. And, I am ready for it.

I have no idea what the next 32 years will bring.
But I promise to walk onto this path with nothing but an open heart.
