"the world i live in is loud and blurring and toilets plug and i get speeding tickets and the dog gets sick all over the back steps and i forget everything and these six kids lean hard into me and i fail hard and there are real souls that are at stake and how long do i really have to figure out how to live full of grace, full of joy- before these six beautiful children fly the coop and my mothering days fold up quiet? how do you open the eyes to see how to take the daily, domestic, workday vortex and invert it into the dome of an everyday cathedral?"

Father, whatever "leans hard" into me, help me learn to lean on You for the strength to serve with a cheerful, zealous heart.
the eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
AMEN!
