We’ve been having a full week.  It is Parent Teacher Conference time.  Which means kids get out at 1:30 and all the moms swap watching each others’ children while we do conferences and book fair.

I really do like it.  We’ve hit the park a couple of times, done lots of nerf gun wars, and been suuuper excited about new books (yay!).

But without nap time/down time, I have to admit, I’m starting to question my identity.

Okay, that’s a bit dramatic.

But I do do better when I have some time during the day to think and read and ponder and muse.

God is intensely challenging our faith right now in trusting His financial provision.  Put another way, I think we have a new theme song:

Three things:

1.  That was also a bit dramatic

2.  Can we take a minute and celebrate that I figured out how to put a video in the middle of a blog post?

3.  We talked about having this song be the one to which we walked out of our wedding.  We decided against it.

I know it is very, very easy for Him to take care of us.  But it is not always very, very easy to trust.

Pray for us?  We are grateful.

Moving on…

Caden reading a book to Caleb’s preschool class.  He did so well.

One man, one boy, and one ninja making an “animal house.”  We don’t have any animals, so I’m not sure what it will be used for.  But they do love building stuff with Dad.

The sacred pauses are going well around here.  I love when Caden hears the phone alarm go off and he says, “Oh, Twilight Hour already?” or whatever time it is.  I don’t think I’ll be changing the alarms after this month.  What a beautiful discipline to incorporate all the time.

Hope you’re having a good week!
