A passion for many things, time for a precious few. My children (14 and 3) are my biggest priority, and the highlight of most of my days. I am a very big advocate for single mothers and for those suffering or those who have suffered from domestic abuse, and as well I am very passionate about my work with Guatemala. After a mission trip there several years ago, my life was permanently changed and my heart's path forever altered. If it is God's plan, I would be honored to adopt a child from the country that is so dear to me.
My days are consistently filled with my kids, my church, and my job (I work from home). My faith is a big part of the strength that I have today; I would not be where I am right now without the main Man guiding every step. I have conquered many mountains because of God - His outpouring of blessings even in the midst of trials never cease to amaze me!
Should time ever increase in my ever busy life, I would definitely expand my photgraphy skills, complete the many scrapbooks I've started but not quite finished, and certainly read all the books on my shelves that were purchased in interest but not yet opened. Of course, if time ever increased, I would also be able to eat my meals when hot, shower at a leisurely pace, and get back to the state I was in when I was running marathons just a few short years ago.
Writing has always been an outlet; I speak better with my written words than I do with my tongue. Language is a beautiful expression of one's soul; when that language is written it leaves a legacy of the heart. Throughout the years I have often found scraps of paper or notebooks strewn here or there or stuck back in a drawer that contain the thoughts and words of my mind and heart written out. It is times such as those that the miraculous journey of life begins to jump and dance as prior events form back into a reality when reading through the past. I do not envy my children as I age - sifting through mom's house after I am gone will be a true harvest of a life complete documented in scraps and pages of paper. It is my hope that they will see a life filled with joy, questions once asked completed with time, and an existence harvested with patience, nurturing, and love.
Peace to you, my dear reader. May you find this day to be full of contentment, joy, and a true hope for the future.
Blessings,
Chaoticmother
