The Hard Seasons

As a wise women has told me (my mother)... we all go through Seasons. There are good and hard seasons, and they can range in length. So, I can officially say we are submerged in a very hard long season.

Everyday I wake up to worries (yes, I am a worry wart) and stress.... Not knowing what is going to come next.... How we are going to make things work? When are we going to hear something? How long is this hard season going to be? Do we...? Should we...? Longing for what our future may hold...

Then, my two girls wake me up and remind me that although things may be hard now, we always get through the tough times. Once again God reminds me to be still and patient. He always gets us through the times we do not see a way out....ALWAYS!

Luckily, I fill my days with beautiful distractions that keep my mind off the many things going on around us. My girls may drive me crazy at times (sometimes more often then not), but I cannot imagine my life without the craziness. There are days when the craziness is much more then the good moments, yet the good moments still make the bad easy to forget.

I will never get enough of:
    - Savannah dancing and showing me her "arabesque"
    - Savannah kissing and hugging her sister out of the blue
    - Savannah telling me "I love you Miss Hannigan"
    - Savannah telling me "Jesus lives in my heart mommy!"
    - Ella sticking out her tongue (it seems to be out more then it is in)
    - Watching Ella crawl with one leg scooting and one leg crawling
    - Ella screaming while she plays, not because she is upset, but because that is just her normal volume
    - Ella watching her big sister and smiling and laughing

And the list could go on forever. Nothing could distract me from amazing moments with my girls, not even the toughest Seasons!
