Just out of curiosity how many of you are actually hooked on LOST? Wether you're happy or not with the show...how many of you have the hook in you?

AN UPDATE, SERIOUSLY. ON THAT SIDE OF THINGS

It's been a long time, yet here I am, logged into xanga to fill out a weblog. I am forcing myself to sit and type despite the 8 other things I should be doing right now if i'm going to stay on top of everything for the day. (Yes, I actually just made a running tally - as well as the 5 other things i'm behind in and the 6 people that are waiting for me to contact them)

Ella is waking up crying again in the middle of her morning nap. I think she might have an ear infection...

I've just read recently that women in my place must establish limits for themselves (as we all must in some form or another). They say that if you don't you might begin to notice signals that you are pushing your self too hard and are on the verge of burnout. Which is not fair to anyone around you, your family that you have a responsibility to, as well as yourself. I have all the signs. The signals have been screaming at me everyday. I'm spread too thin and must fight to lessen the loads i'm carrying. Is it really a fight? or is it simply a surrender?

She's crying again...I must call the pediatrician today... I hope she's ok... She is such a trooper my Elle...

Its both. A fight and a surrender. thankfully i'm up for the task and refusing to not faint despite the whirlwind surrounding everyday of or lives. The grace of my Almighty, all powerful Lord is my strength. I have changed. The last few years of my life have been the most stretching...

There's the phone again...I must answer this one...

...Yet the moment the labor began to bring our first daughter in the world brought such a spiritual and natural turning point in our lives. Since then it's been the most joyful moments as well as the most testing of our faith. At times it has been relentless. At times it it feels as if each new day brings a new joy and with it a new battle. There comes a point where you have to shake it off and laugh and think "oh my, what else is going to happen...whatever it is i'm choosing to search for the simple joys each day and genuinely love people despite whatever else is going on" (and you do!) "even though i could break down inside and crawl away on my hands and knees whimpering" The 'silent' battles a family can go through as well as individual triumphs and defeats can be so encompassing....

The sound of Ellas cries and the phone have echoed once again....

The dance continues.
The one of sorrow and joy, lack and abundance, ripping and mending, shattered goals and restored dreams, death and new births, sickness and wholeness. A dance that always ends with resounding joy! That can never be explained, only experienced.

It's the stuff of the cross and the resurrected life.
such true wholeness and true wealth...
i will settle for nothing less.

The phone rings again. My sister is calling...

people say how come you are holding your self together so well...
It is Christs alone...I place my trust..

I will follow and continue in this dance...

i'm sitting here at our kitchen table...light pours in through our many widows flooding the room with abundance of light despite the cloudiness over the sky...

it's been raining all day...

all day i've been refreshed...

everything is good and right...

even though every question has not been answered...

even though every need has not been filled...

even though there are aching hearts surrounding me within those i love...

He is enough... He satisfies it all...

one moment of his voice brings satisfaction...

i'm alive. i'm filled. i'm carrying a child, i'm a woman, i have a purpose, a destiny for my life that is so much greater than i could ever imagine.

i have a work to do. i have my orders...i must be faithful....

i'm willing to believe and expect that miracles will happen...

exceedingly and abundantly above all that we could ask or think or imagine,

he is my satisfaction...

He is good.

i just need to know is there anyone! who actually completed every single thank you note on time for their wedding!? anyone?

every person i've talked to say that it took them a really long time to get them out. a very normal thing is to hear a year or so later people running across a stack that was written up and addressed but never sent!

sigh... i enjoy writing thank yous b/c dave and i were so blessed by everyone....but the guilt of them taking so long...well,it'd definitely there

i'm not stressing over it though...

steady plotting...
