And on a completely unrelated note, I would love to share some of my favorite words.

If you haven't read John Steinbeck's East of Eden, please consider it.

It moved me in ways I can't explain.

It's by far the best book I've ever read and I already can't wait to read it again.

Here's a tiny taste:

"I do not believe all men are destroyed. I can name you a dozen who were not, and they are the ones the world lives by. It is true of the spirit as it is true of battles- only the winners are remembered. Sure most men are destroyed but there are others who like pillars of fire guide frightened men through the darkness.

Thou mayest, thou mayest! What glory!"

I'm two weeks into this full-time working mom gig & I'm struggling.
I miss my Lily time.
I know in my heart that this is the right path.
The best decision for my family.
But it still makes me cry on my lunch break.
And right now.
I'm feeling very broken and a little lonely...
But in a good way if that makes any sense at all.
I'm so humbled & desperate for a God that can comfort.
A God who can redeem my difficult situation.
It's been awhile since I've ached for him this way and I'm thankful for it.

Have a joyful mid week!

I'm headed to the mountains to recharge with my loves.

God is good friends.

All the dang time.
