Springing up out of it all...


I may have a pile of laundry waiting for me...
but I have lots of beautiful little humans who create that laundry

I may have a lawn that is a bit too long,
But we have lots of space for those little humans to run and play...

We may have dealt with a stubborn drain in this rain that wouldn't stop,
But we have our home and roads and property intact....

I may struggle at times to find a place in my schedule to be with my gal pals...
But I have strong friends who live life to levels of high quality...

I may find it exhausting to wrangle my children on Sunday mornings from dawn until church ends,
But my children now live in a country where they are free to go to church without fear....

I may spend extremely too much time dealing with my families medical issues...
But I have skilled doctors and facilities at my fingertips to assist us.

I may not get many nights of good sleep...
But not a night goes by when someone doesn't call for mama and wrap their arms around my neck or sneak into my bed.

I may struggle with life choices on a daily, no hourly basis...
But God gave me a passion that I'm always wrestling with.

I may be more busy than i would like to be at work...
But i have a job that i am not afraid of losing.

I may not ever ever have a clean, tidy home...
But I am never at a loss for good company.

I may still have leaves and weeds in my flower beds...
But I can see the beauty of the flowers that spring up out of it all....

I may live in a messy chaotic state....
but God gives me eyes to see the beauty that grows forth out of it...
