ups and downs

an amazing week of getting away and dealing with this stuff in my head. Learning and thinking and watching it all come together (or fall apart) for some people that i love. Life is an ocean and these waves come with cycles of high tide and lo tide, with crashing waves and fun rides, sunrises and sunsets, drowning and rescuing.

another struggle, trial, fight- is it me? of course and her too. and then of course there's other influences involved in all of this. 3 kids that are kids, that run and play and have more enrgy than we do. Not enough time, or sleep, or joy or luaghter- too much stress and pain, and cussing and crying.

yesterday was a wet hair sunday (the best kind) soaked in the love of God, dripping of potential and excitement. Staring the future in the face with smiles and bright shining eyes- pain is released adn life is full, healing, restoration, hope, love- remembering my salvation would be helpful here, but there's no time for that... but here's to you Olivia and Logan, don't let them tell you you're wrong, it's your's through inheritance, take this world and love it til it's a better place.

i'll be ok. i'll learn from these mistakes. someday i'll figure out that those moments of clarity and peace are the way it's always supposed to be. New Orleans, Ensenada, Mexico...
