Spring Break...When I think of Spring, I think of renewal and growth. When I think of Break, I think of breathing, pausing, resting and refreshing. I so need a Spring Break right now! Who doesn't, right? I am choosing to look at this time in our lives as an opportunity from God for renewal and to focus on breathing and pausing.
Izzy just had her first dance competition on Saturday. Her little team did so great - they placed in the top 10 - and she had so much fun. I am so proud of their effort and sweet smiles and spirits. However, it was a long day for her and after a couple of weeks of the flu and pink eye, she could use some rest and pause and renewing of her sweet, if not dramatic, spirit.
Nicky is,well, Nicky. Sweet. He will be looking forward to looking for deer on Spring Break and starting soccer when we return.
Becca has been sick. Croup, ear infection and pink eye. We officially need to go to the ENT for both her ears and throat. I pray for healing for her little body.
Jon has been working as a contractor with his former employer. He has a 3-month contract and has been so committed to looking for a job. I love having him work from home. And while we have moments of fear, we look forward to what God is doing in our lives. What an opportunity to trust Him and serve Him. I pray that we will bring Him glory through this.
I go back and forth between peace and overwhelming anxiety with trying to keep up with everything in this thing called life. But, I am surrounded by a wonderful husband, amazing children, awesome parents, friends that are like family, and a home found in my church. Above all, I have peace in the mighty name of Christ and love and acceptance in the sovereign name of my God.
I thank all the beautiful friends that have reached out to us during these last few drama-filled weeks. We are overwhelmed and grateful for the prayers, kind words and support. How blessed we are! God is so good to us! How humbling it is to face such uncertain times and to know we are so blessed. We will be going to my parents lake house and then a Baker family reunion in Fort Meyers, Florida (the kids' first time at the beach) for Spring Break. I will post pictures from Izzy's dance competition and our Spring Break when we return. I am sure everyone is tired of my ramblings and really just wants to see pictures....of which I am hopelessly forgetful about! I hope and pray you all have some renewal and rest during your Spring Break...and maybe even a little fun!
