Blurbs
It's been forever since I've posted, and I'm just bursting with so many things I'd love to share here...the amazing women's retreat Peter sent me on last weekend...the things the girls are doing...my frustrations...my joys, etc. I can't believe another week's gone by. I've barely checked email or facebook or anything because we've all been struggling with this "grundge" that's going around. Peter blames "Mommy Mondays" and says we just eat bonbons and complain about our husbands and ignore our kids while they trade snot! Just kidding ladies! I miss you so much!
So I've been busy wiping noses, holding Charlotte, and well...pretty much those two things! ha ha
I think sometimes weeks go by without me posting because I'm waiting for that extended and uninterrupted time where I can pour out my soul in a long and involved entry. So you know how often that happens :) I've decided I need to reset my expectations (story of my life!!) and just do little blurbs when the inspiration and opportunity strikes.
So blurb for today is a great thing I found since the retreat I went on...Beth Moore has a website where you can listen to her Bible studies. I'm sooooo pumped about this because I really do crave the Word but have been feeling so discouraged about minimal time to do dig into it. With these I can turn on the computer and listen even if I'm holding Charlotte for a nap and my hands are not free to flip through my Bible or write. I am not naturally an auditory learner, but God can work through anything. I just love Beth's teaching, and I'm really excited to utilize this resource. Check it out!
And in closing, I'm feeling proud that I got all my bushes pruned while Charlotte took a snugly nap and Natalie played. We followed the bush "haircut" with some jumps in last fall's leaves, and it was so so good to be outside and be warm and uncover some green poking up through and watch Natalie in her element. My grape hyacinth survived the winter. Thanks Doreen! I hope we do the perennial swap again this year.

I was supposed to go to the retreat, but let anxiety get the best of me, and talked myself out of it at the last minute. I really wish I had gone. It sounds like it was wonderful. You have such a wonderful husband for offering to take care of the girls all weekend so you could go. What a blessing! Thanks for posting the link to Beth Moore's website. I got to see/hear some of her wisdom online and really enjoyed her insights.
