Raising My Tiny Disciples

This might just be my happy place…. One of them. I’m in the parking lot at work. For the first time in a really REALLY long time. It’s strange being away from the kids for a hot minute. I drove two hours to the airport this morning to get my new parking pass and my updated badge. I got married almost six years ago and I’ve finally changed my name at work. It’s a long boring story.

So here I am in my new work parking lot. Listening to airplanes flying overhead. It seriously makes me so happy. I miss airplanes.

Yes I need to get back to my kids. Sometimes you just have to fill your bucket. I’ve been running on empty. My husband has been in training and has been gone for five to six days at a time. This is his last week of training. He works eight flights in four days. He’ll be home Friday and then we get on with life as we know it.

OH MY GOODNESS, A BOEING 777 JUST FLEW OVER MY HEAD AND I FELT IT IN MY CHEST AIRPLANES ARE SO MY HAPPY PLACE!!! 

This morning was a blessing because I was able to wake up after feeding my son. I stayed up and had a devotion time before I headed out to the airport. It was a wonderful much needed time! I think filling up my soul with God and a little airplane action was just what I needed. Now I’m ready to get back to the kids. Batteries recharged!

Note: I’ve been trying to write a post since the end of January. I’ll post it soon! But for now here we are. I hope you can get some rest and relaxation today too.

Love, Drea

Ok first off if you’re here for the mortal combat reference I apologize this has nothing to do with that. It’s just my second post and that’s what my brain was reminded of.

If I was going to give this one a different name it would be…. “Sunset in the chaos”

Life with 3 children… 4 years ,2 years and 6 months. It’s beautiful but it is totally nuts! On this particular evening. I took my 6 month old son to the changing table and outside the window I noticed the colors in the sky above the houses. I decided to walk outside and really look at the sunset. In the mist of trying to do showers, brush teeth and bedtime (this can be very much like herding cats) a very brief much needed moment of calm. My husband was inside helping with the dishes. I said honey come here for a minute. So together we stood in our driveway looking at the beautiful sky. I was grateful for that moment to just take a breath. SO if you need a reminder. Here it is!! It doesn’t have to be enjoying a sunset over housetops. Maybe just standing in your living room in the middle of the overwhelm. Remember to stop, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. This is just a season in life and it is going to go by so fast.
