you & i & we (make five): growing pains
http://youandiandwe.blogspot.com/2010/08/growing-pains.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. It is quiet here this morning. Instead of basking in the quiet last night, i felt awkward. not sure what to do - do i paint? Do we just hang out? We opted for sharing dinner together and hanging out, a low-key evening that was definitely enjoyable and lovely. I ask, i always ask, for more patience, more kindness, more self-control, more Joy shining through my face. do they know i enJoy them? Or do they only see my frustrations? Or do they only see my tired eyes? That was utter...

you & i & we (make five): May 2010
http://youandiandwe.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. But mostly i'm just pink. I've got a handful of little notebooks going, one for this and one for that, trying to get stuff out of my Head and at least onto paper. from there? Who knows. i write down what i eat, craft projects, goals, mothering things, spiritual things, menus, thoughts. it's getting more complex than it should be, probably, but putting all of this information in one journal just isn't making sense to me right now. Thursday, May 27, 2010. There are these little(big) t...

you & i & we (make five): March 2010
http://youandiandwe.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 20, 2010. Dear Baby, here beneath my heart,. I thought that you might come today;. The timing seemed just right. But the stars are out. And the moon is high. And sheepishly I wonder why. I try to arrange the plans. For now I know. You will not come. Until the One who holds eternity. Rustles your soft cocoon. And whispers in tones that I will not hear,. 8220;It’s time, precious gift.”. 8220;Now it’s time.”. By Robin Jones Gunn. Monday, March 15, 2010. The clearing rests in song and shade.

you & i & we (make five): pulling away
http://youandiandwe.blogspot.com/2010/06/pulling-away.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. I pray for rain. and lots of it. June 25, 2010 at 6:23 AM. We are in the same boat as far as old houses and window units- we put up a blanket on our kitchen doorway, and it helps immensely. the kitchen does get pretty roasty, but its going to be hot anyway with cooking and whatnot. I hope you hit a new rhythm quickly with your return to working outside the home :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). From the mouth of a mother. Rhythm of the Home.

Thursday, June 24, 2010. I pray for rain. and lots of it. Monday, June 14, 2010. So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten. Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain. I am so, so lucky. Friday, June 4, 2010. My hair tries to teach me things, spiritually. But i don't listen much. Or try to hear other things. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). From the mouth of a mother.

you & i & we (make five): the daily joy.
http://youandiandwe.blogspot.com/2011/01/daily-joy.html
Saturday, January 15, 2011. True joy. not the gritting-you-teeth-holding-your-tongue-fighting-back-tears-of-frustration joy, but joy that all these things are done in service. that None of these things - my husband, my precious children, my home, my Life - are mine. they are all God's. It is a constant work, a constant practice, a constant learning to let go, to not think for a minute i have a hold of anything. Just a vessel, hopefully a Light. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
