Uneasy Street

So things right now are pretty good.

All the kiddos are back at school…

Even the ones “formally homeschooled”

*sniff sniff*

Teachers seem good.

Attitudes are good…

Really they are!

No really!

*wink*

Therapies are done.

WOW

Soccer practices have been rained out…

YES

And afternoons are not too crazy.

Yes, we are still meeting and managing needs and life with 7 is still busy but compared to the last 4 years…

We are sort of chill!

“Chill” in a 7 kid, 4 dog, 2 crazy cat kind of way!

But still…

“chill”

Soooo…

I guess it’s time to shake things up a bit?

Right?

Just when we start to get comfortable…

when life starts to get easy-er…

BAM

It happens and usually, for us, it happens just as we start to exhale, just as we begin to enter into easy…

That still, small voice eases us into back into unease…

I sometimes wonder if our hearts will ever truly be easy again.

After visiting two orphanages and one cerebral palsy rehabilitation hospital…


Unease infuses every inch of our hearts.


We have joy and we have peace cause the Lord enters into this brokenness and into our unease, using it for His good…


helping us to recognize when He says “go”.


So in a timeline attempted to be manipulated by us but only known to Him…
we will go!

More to come…
