i've been reading One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp lately. this book has been rocking my mindset and heart, which is what i need when i only get a few moments here and there to read! the section that has been sticking with me is the concept that God is in our everyday moments. He is "I AM" which is present tense. So in all the everyday moments of my days, He is there, I AM making each moment holy. Not looking ahead and not looking back, not caught in my rush, full attention here, in this moment. so here are some of our every day moments, i'm praying and asking God to help me soak up and savor.
isaac falling asleep with his books
the kids dancing around in animal masks we made (she's a kitty cat and he's a monkey)
loving the exersaucer. it's the perfect perch to watching his siblings' craziness
there really aren't words for this, except to say, this sums up isaac's perfect balance of roughness and gentleness in one picture
his other favorite perch...the bouncy seat! (p.s. he's laughing, not crying)
all three kiddos awake at the same time, no one crying, no one screaming, no one fighting, no poopy diapers, just playing...a sweet moment
izie needing to be with daddy while he finished the lawn
reading before dinner
stuffing a cooler full of colored pencils and baby dolls (add that he climbed up there himself!)
getting soaked and sand-covered outside before dinner in the kid pool our awesome neighbors bought us
