Charms Aug 18
I have little butterflies in my stomach this morning. I think half of them are for Aaron who has his first day of seminary today at Southern. I totally used to get this same feeling on my first day of school...even through college. I suppose I'll have many more of those same butterflies when the girls get into school.
The other ones are due to the truth that I woke up this morning and reality hit. We're in Louisville, KY. That means I don't have a dozen friends to call this morning in order to fill our day with walks in the park, play dates, and the zoo. That means Mama Boe isn't going to stop by and pick up Savannah for a swim or a trip to the library. None of that. I have the whole day in front of me, basically with just me and the girls~one of whom likes to be very entertained.
All those little charms that used to fill my time won't exist, at least for a little while until we meet more people. As a mom, I realize that those have been my charms. Not bad at all, but still charms. That is okay though...
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Saviour,
O there are ten thousand charms.

Sweet, Laurin, I know all too well the many emotions of change and letting true reality sink in and be accepted. I can only imagine it is ten-fold as a mommy- a busy mommy. I will be praying for you,the girls, and Aaron as you embark on this new journey...that Christ will become all the more your sweet satisfaction and best company/companionship. Psalm 16:11 "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Adam and I might end up in your shoes in just a few years, so I look forward to learning from you and eagerly expect God to teach. Congrats on your new home and the big arrival. (I say keep the bows coming!- which I'm sure you will) :)
PS- I'm starting to think about registering and wondering if you like the pump you posted about a while back? I tried to find the post where you mentioned it and can't, so if you do recommend it, would you mind to re-tell me the name?:)
