There's a good reason I haven't posted in a few days. I haven't had time!!! Haha...I knew it would catch up with me eventually but I didn't think it would happen during week two!
What can I say? This has been a week where I've exerted more energy than I'm used to. So far, this has been the biggest challenge and the greatest adjustment since leaving a desk-job. I'm on my feet all day long, I'm not used to this. I'm used to relaxing with my feet up under my desk on top of the computer modem and only getting up to go to the copy machine or the restroom or to grab lunch. I'm not used to standing, bending down, reaching over, running, hopping, lifting, squatting, etc...
Even with the busyness of it all, I've had a great time with the boys. These two weeks have been filling my heart with joy and my kitchen with smells of cinnamon and pumpkin. (I've been experimenting with baking dairy-free; so far pumpkin bread with coconut oil is amazing but egg and dairy-free brownies are awful.) I've been able to sneak in a few naps here and there and just enjoy watching the boys enjoy one another. I've had time to enjoy my husband and took the boys to meet him for lunch one day near his office. I've had time to enjoy being quiet and sitting in the presence of the Lord. I took a few minutes to play a few songs on my piano. I've actually enjoyed an entire cup of coffee before it went cold!
These are things I enjoyed much more than blogging or surfing the internet or twitter or facebook or pinterest....because they are so much more rewarding and fulfilling!
Have you seen this video? I'm sure you have. It just about sums this week up!!
This video reminds me of the Proverbs 31 woman. The woman who does it all and enjoys it while she does! While she may be doing these things in different seasons of her life, she is a beacon of light to her children and the crown to her husband. I love this passage, I hope you do too :) Oh. And Happy Valentine's Day. <3
