Do you ever have those times in life where you feel everything has derailed itself; or am I alone in this?
- You go on a diet and you gain 4 pounds
- You plant flowers and end up over watering them to their death
- You work at getting all the clean laundry put away just to have your youngest child tear it all off the hangers and out of the drawers
- You put your heart and soul into relationships to have it just blow up in your face and dissipate to thin air
- You make the perfect chicken curry dish {family fave} to have the heat turned up to give it a quick warm before dinner and end up burning the whole dish
- Purchase the perfect amount of balloons for a gift to have one of the balloons pop on the way out the door
This {and a few million other GOOD reasons} is as to why I haven't been around here...it's been a bit of a ghost town and I've been okay with that. Sometimes it's just the place I want to be in. Not that this is a healthy place, but you never get to the top of the mountain unless you've been in the valley.
I have SUPER supportive family & friends that have been there to carry me the whole way through this valley and that, my lovelies is priceless!
My hope is that I'm on the way up the mountain {cause my legs are still burning!} and that the valley is far behind me.
Doesn't mean I won't hit a steep cliff or run into a fog every once in a while, but for now I feel good knowing that I'm on the upward swing to a healthy whole me.
God is greater than my "funk" and sometimes I forget that He is willing {& mighty capable} to help me through it! So all that to say that I'm officially back, more so for my own memories and to share in my life, passions & joy {and maybe the odd spaz attack!}.
This song has been such an encouragement in my life as of lately ----
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT
Happy Monday Lovelies! It's almost vacation time and for that I am very thankful!

:: Jacob got his first & only train set from us on Christmas. He slept in until 9:40am (Praise the Lord!). Since he slept in we did our gifts first which was really such a treat! We had planned since toy boxes are horrible to get into, to set up the train set and have it running when he came downstairs. His expression was priceless! He LOVED it! We didn't give him anything else as we knew he would get plenty of other toys from his Grandparents and Aunts & Uncles. And it was our best move yet as he is still so taken with his train set...He fills the water into the tank and turns it on and watches it go through the tunnel...so fun! ::
