I hate her.

Hey Lord. It's been a difficult day. Charlotte woke up much earlier than I would've liked. She also choked on a grape, screamed like a hellion in place of her afternoon nap, and ate dog poop out of the yard. The cats broke the iPad keyboard. We got locked out of the front door. Bo was his usual incorrigible self, which made my wheezy stroller jog ( Read more... )

Hey Lord. What a tranquil, contented day. What a blessed day out of time. The joy of aloneness without loneliness.

I feel like my smile has ripened today like a sweet, red strawberry. I feel somewhat smitten with the comfortable, kind, HAPPY person I see in the mirror.

Thank you for this interlude of peace. Thank you for a day to dream, a day to ( Read more... )

Hey Lord.

Thank you for a nice workout and a chance to blow off some some steam and exist in a different frame of mind.

To be honest, I'm struggling a bit. I just listened to Dick Foth talk about how when we don't know what to pray, the Spirit helps us. He talked about true Hope, confident hope, in Christ. About how you are there to help us in the ( Read more... )

Good morning, Lord. Thank you for a lovely opportunity to sit outside in the comfortable spring sunshine. Even though I feel sick, even though my "view" is of traffic, even though North Korea may blow us up today... I still love the spring and feel it reviving me.

This is Easter weekend. I am not sure what to think or feel. Jeff and I talk about ( Read more... )

Whoa, Lord. How did four days go by so fast??

Anyway.
Good morning. It looks like the sun is going to grace us today. Charlotte and I have a full day of visiting Mammy and going to Diana's birthday dinner. Thank you for this moment of calm before the day. I didn't realize Charlotte had fallen back to sleep on her own.

Thank you for my nice lunch ( Read more... )

Hey Lord. Day 40! I know my track record hasn't been perfect, but that's still something.

I can't help but think about how crazy human communication is. How we can be saying one thing, meaning to say another, and actually feeling something completely different from both of those. So much of the heart gets lost in the limitations of vocabulary and ( Read more... )

Good morning, Lord. Pleasant morning. It's Saturday, and Jeff has given me a morning off. Got to stay in bed until 8:30, go to the gym, and now relax at Starbucks.

I enjoyed listening to Dick Foth and Pastor Mark on podcast. I feel relatively peaceful. Actually, this prayer feels contrived and is interfering with that peace. I think I'll try to ( Read more... )

Hey Lord. Thank you for a pleasant day with my family. It was nice to have Jeff up and around a little more, and it was also nice feeling semi-productive at home and having nowhere to go.

I don't feel like talking. To be honest, my mind is elsewhere...
Maybe I should breathe and try to be present with you...

Last night, I felt the waves of ( Read more... )

Hey Lord. Whew.... Semi peace. Sweet Charlotte is in bed after a messy meal, a frantic playtime with Bo, and an adorable, raucous bath. Jeff is sleeping off his appendicitis meds. Fern is lying on my belly, and Bo is sighing on the rug. The mellowness is what I've wanted all day, but now I'm not sure what to do with myself.

I feel sleepy and a ( Read more... )
