Ephesians 3:20

^"20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,"



        This is the story of my life.  Why am I given so much?  Why am I so blessed?  You know, I woke up this morning and rolled over to see the most beautiful little girl face I have ever seen.  Seconds later I was greeted by the name, "Mommy," from my rough and tumble little boy across the room.  What angelic alarm clocks I have.  I don't think I would change anything about my life.  Maybe a couple of impossible tasks (even by the hand of God!), like if only I could be in two places at once my life would be a bit easier.  I wouldn't mind having four arms, or maybe another body altogether.  Maybe that's called a maid?  In which case I would need a bit more money, which isn't impossible but I've begun to accept that it may not be what my family is called to.  The point is, I am happy.  I love the way things have turned out.


        Jake is busy. He is strong-willed.  He is a relatively laid back little boy all the same.  He cracks me up when he says "cow eat corn" and he wants me to tickle the little spot above his knees, and he rolls around on the floor and giggles. It's the same way my grandpa loved to make me laugh. I love family. I love my family.  I have been so blessed to have parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles that love me so much.  I have in-laws that are like family, they are my family.  I am very blessed.
       I don't know much about Sonora Grace yet, even though she seems to be quite sensitive, loves attention, and happy when she gets her rest...ok, she is so far, exactly like me.  She is after all, my daughter.  I love having a little girl.  I especially love when she is crying and only I can comfort her- there, my secret is exposed.
      Then there is Paul, the cliche "peanut butter to my jelly sandwich", and whatever else goes perfectly together, well then that is us.  He is the best, without him I don't even think I would care to know Ephesians 3:20.  He began my love for this verse.  I thought I was happy before Paul, but once I married him I finally understood what "better than you can imagine" actually means.  I had  a plan and God turned it upside down, into something much more beautiful than I had planned.  Thank you God, and thank you Paul.


      I guess that is it for now. I have a baby girl waking up and a toddler trying to escape.  Is there any way to really childproof a door?  This blog is going to be fun, hopefully I can make time for it.
