So, today we were riding in the car and Damion said, "Mom, if God came down to earth and played hide and seek with me, do you think I could find Him?" and then he followed that up with, "Well, yes, because He is so big that I would have to see Him."
I love it! I love how he is thinking about God in such real terms to him. My kids LOVE playing hide and seek. They run around like crazy boys trying to hide, but trying to be found. They love trying to find me and won't stop until they do. Damion is on to something! I forgot that God is so big that I can find Him anywhere. I forgot that when I am hiding, He is seeking me! I forgot that I love being found! I remembered today that God is right here wanting to meet me right where I am, and it took my 6 year old to remind me just how amazing that is!
I love Jesus, my family, and people everywhere. I'm journeying with my incredible Pastor-hubby, and our 6 amazing(and wonderfully exhausting) kids! We don't just ride on the "hot mess express," we live on the "hot mess express." Anyone is welcome to ride along with us, but just a heads up, it can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Some days are wonderful, and some days are terrible, but I really just want to see Jesus every hour of every day. I know there are people who can relate, so join me?

It's been a year and a half and I think I am ready to be a blogger:)
Thanks to my dear friend Ashley, I have been reminded that I started a blog and haven't done anything with it! So, I think I am going to try again to be a blogger.
As I sit here, I love thinking about the possibilities of all the things that lie ahead of me. D and I had a pretty big confrontation about him manipulating our neighbor girl to get info on movies he's not allowed to watch. He's a smart little 6 year old and it is really hard to stay one step ahead of him. As a mom, I want so many things for my children...but the biggest thing is wanting them to become who they were created to be. I have so many dreams for them! However, its not about my dreams for them that are the most important. It's the dreams of the One who created them that I need to remind myself of on a daily basis!
I love being a mom to these crazy boys and learning about God in and through them!
I think I am going to like this blogging thing...even if it is nothing more than a place to work through whatever my kids and I are facing at the moment.
