Do you ever feel like life is like playing a game of twister, but you never know in what way you'll have to bend or turn or stretch? At present, as mom to a 15 mos old and wife to a surgical resident, flexibility seems to be what I need most at times. As soon as I have a plan or an idea of what I should do one morning, afternoon, evening...look out! Here comes a call to be flexible! Sigh...This is actually quite a humbling process and hones down my desire to plan and control and have it all go "my way." So, I work on having realistic expectations and plans, but then surrendering them whenever need be and trying to faithfully and lovingly accept it, and meet my family where they are. You never know when Lee can't be home, or just needs to sleep, or when Sullivan needs down time or a nap or whatever it may be...
Perhaps God simply knows exactly what I need to work on, huh? May God help me seek the strength and faith to live fully and abundantly where I am.

Catie & Lee:
I am in full harmony with your last statement. I said this to a friend just a little while ago: God knows what we need before we even ask. Asking is a small requirement on our part, and I'll say a prayer that He will bless you and the family. I have a good feeling that this weekend will be the start of something good. Enjoy!
Yes, I hear you. I definitely don't like hard times, but know that God uses them to refine us and make us more like Him.
Amen! Miss you guys so much!
well said my friend. well said. love you!
