The Simple Life

I haven't blogged in over a week! I'm sure you can imagine that life around here is kinda busy. It often feels like I feed one, then change another. Then feed the second one and change the other. Then I eat something, then it's time for the baby to be fed again... Both babies will nap at the same time in the afternoon (thank God!!) so I nap then too. And then we start the process all over again...

I can choose to look at this situation a couple of different ways-

• I can be negative and think about all the talents God has given me and all the education I have and think that my days should consistent of more than just feedings, diaper changes and naps. This way of thinking is unhelpful, seflish, and inconsistent with the gospel.

• I can be grateful for the simple tasks I have ahead of me. While many others are stressed with responsbilities at school and work and are overwhelmed with the tasks before them, I have such a simple routine. Eat, sleep, change, play.

There were so many days with Caleb that I chose the first way of thinking. And it stole my joy. This season is so short. I know that now.

So today, I'll rejoice in eating and changing. It's not mundane or unimportant. It's simple. It's servanthood. It's sacrifice. It's what God is calling me to do Today. And I will rejoice in it : )
