I love reading this blog. It might have something to do with the two main characters. I'm a little bit in love with them. My favorite times with them are reading before bed and having dance parties. I also really love the moment Haven sees Maiya and I when we pick him up from preschool. He runs to us, hugs and kisses us.Life is a little busy, but I spend my days with a 2 and 3 year old, so they have a way of slowing life down. It takes a half hour to get shoes and coats on and walk to the car. In the few hours a week that I'm not with them, I have two part time jobs: therapist and teacher. Both of these jobs are hauntingly similar to motherhood in that they require a level of patience and insight that I am constantly reaching deeper into myself to find.
Efficiency is sort of the theme of my life. Instead of trying to get more of everything, I'm trying to better manage what I already have. The reality is that we have enough for right now. Enough money. Enough space in our house. Enough time. And yes, enough kids. Could we enjoy more of all that? Sure. But I understand now why God wants us to manage small things before we have more.
More soon.
