I've spent the last 4 days in the bed or on the couch, sleeping and watching Christmas movies. Praise God for Hallmark. Getting the flu just sucks but at least there are countless ridiculous movies to watch since it's 9 days until Christmas and I can't do much else.
Maybe it's the flu brain, but I can't remember how I stumbled across my old blog today but I just spent the past 45 minutes walking down memory lane. What a gift. I had no idea how special it would be to go back and read those sporadic entries. Now, I just need to figure out how to get a hard copy so I can read it again when I'm old and gray and can't remember my log in information.
So much in our lives have changed since 2018 with the biggest change being that I am no longer a stay at home mom. In fact, I work full time in church ministry now alongside my husband and have been doing so for 2.5 years. We moved again across the state and I am begging God for this to be our final destination (not including Heaven, of course :) Our kids are so big and so wonderful and so independent. The traits I wrote about, their friendships with each other, even my prayers for them, I've seen come true. It's actually quite humbling today to dwell on that.
Life is moving by very quickly and so much of it is out of my control. I often beg God to fill in my gaps and failures with His grace and I believe He does. I'm so thankful that this isn't our final home and that one day He will make all things perfect because I sure can't.
Blogs went out of trend a million years ago which means that I am writing to an audience of 1 right now. And that's ok. This is for me.
