Ive been a bit less busy on my blog as Im talking about transition from summer to school schedules. Ive been busy soaking in the simplicity of summer moments with my precious little girls in denial that its all over! Truth is, this summers been the first season since my husband went to heaven that Ive felt love for this life and not just in bits and broken pieces. Its hard to admit because, yeah, Ive always worn a smile, hiding behind seeming happiness when my pretending heart was too hurt to recognize the healing. When I set out on my quest for simplicity early this summer, I didnt know the hard choices Id make or the big changes Id face...all alongside the simple blessings encapsulated in my new season. Strange how that happens--how seasons of change and turning upside down bring about next steps and refreshing newness. While certain things have been so unsettling, I no longer wonder where joy comes from because its when the ground beneath us quakes that we loosen our roots and replant them where new life can be nourished. So, Im always looking back on my Loves legacy, constantly learning from his memory and always close to tears. But now, as my simple summer ends on the eve of our wedding anniversary, the earths quaking and my eyes are quivering with close tears but Im looking ahead into a new life Im so starting to love. Thank you, Lord, for unsettling seasons and a summer of sweet simplicity! Thank you for a life Im still learning from and these moments made to love, even when some of the lessons are from lost love. Thank you for life.
