Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. A fly-hero and a fixer. April 29, 2014. 8212; dayna @ 12:00 am. Our kitchen (now) a couple of years ago. I’m rounding out the first trimester of my pregnancy with baby #3 and dealing with nasty, somewhat debilitating, every-afternoon headaches. The only thing that seemed to make them slightly better was being horizontal… and the occasional greasy salty food. Until now that is. 8220;He did it! 8221; The two-year old practically clasped her hands under ch...

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. So here we are… December 19, 2012. 8212; dayna @ 12:00 am. It’s not very often these days that I’m relatively alone. My little threesome and I are a wolfpack of sorts. Ok: a messy, chirpy, sparkly wolfpack. But pretty much always together. A few weeks ago though, it was only the babe and me in the minivan. I’m driving to shake my postpartum self at a “Zumba-thon” to raise funds and support for a former co-worker. How I feel about them…. And I ask: if so...

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. Trading reluctance October 1, 2013. 8212; dayna @ 3:00 am. Here I am. Just here. I know that You want me here and I’ve been putting it off for so long. Always balking and nudging my other “to-do’s” to the top of the list. I know You’re telling me not to overcomplicate things. That it’s unnecessary for me to try to figure out exactly what You’re going to do. Or attempt to plan it out myself. To help me with the rest? So here, right now, I will obey.

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. Near January 2, 2013. 8212; dayna @ 11:55 pm. These pictures were taken a little more than a month ago, and already you’ve changed so much. Now, I can see your personality emerging with the crinkling of your nose, each gummy smile, and every breathy coo. My sweet son, you’re growing faster than even I could have imagined, and there are so many things about. That I never want to forget…. The downy softness of your hair, (all that hair! I can’t get ...

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. Easter (the day after). April 28, 2014. 8212; dayna @ 12:00 am. It was the Monday after Easter. With the kitchen finally cleaned up and the lunch dishes stowed away, the girls and I snuggle into the recliner for pre-nap stories. Midway through a little Curious George, the doorbell rings. I sigh myself up from the chair as the little girls beat me to the door. They peer through the window shutter before I can object. We’re warmly greeted. Excusing myself...

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. Restoration December 26, 2013. 8212; dayna @ 11:00 pm. This year, this Christmas season, it was all Isaiah 61. I kept needing to ponder those promises. The ones that sound like a sledgehammer breaking down thick walls …followed by skilled hands fashioning luminous skylights in all the openings. I thought about the promise of one anointed to preach good news to the poor. Of one binding up the brokenhearted. Proclaiming freedom for the captives! Email (Ad...

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. Zoo flashback February 22, 2012. Filed under: History lessons. 8212; dayna @ 11:55 pm. Lately, fewer things have thrilled me more than observing my girls’ blossoming sister-friendship. Most of the time, they seem to honestly adore each other’s company. I found myself grinning at this sweetly predictable picture from a trip to our local zoo. And then, an echo in my mind. Childhood memories flooding back. Were usually documented by a similar shot. And I t...

Musings on the life redeemed and purpose redefined. January 21, 2012. Filed under: Better life. 8212; dayna @ 12:00 pm. This post was originally scheduled for the day my father-in-law. She’d been talking crosses all day. Right after we settled the tiny one down for a nap, we were in the middle of picking up the house. I scurried about in anticipation of friends dropping by to exchange belated Christmas gifts. 8220;But, how did they. Him on the cross, Mommy? 8220;How did they. Jesus on the cross, Mommy?
