...today my friend natalie had a healthy baby girl (she is soo cute!)--there is something so pure and miraculous about a baby coming into this world! yesterday someone who's story i only read about but could relate to as a wife and mother, jennifer palmer, died--there is something so mysterious about a soul leaving this world we know! so yesterday i was sad and wanting to spend every minute with andy and our boys and today i am joyful with the birth of a baby and reflective on God's ultimate plan for us here on earth. i am convinced that i waste so much time; worrying, planning, fighting, etc. when all that matters in the end is love. i desire to love my family more passionately instead of letting all the things of this earth get in my way. i desire to love my neighbors (nate, tasha, alex & mike) in such ways that they can't help but see Christ and His kingdom here on earth but instead i have been too tired, too busy, too selfish to do that. the palmers story has inspired me to live my life every day to further the kingdom, anything else is worthless!
