What kind of reader am I? Didn’t catch the typos. I did know what you meant, Leah! And thank you for visiting my blog!

Jane, thanks for visiting my blog. Nice to see you here, I know we are connected on Facebook.
Ah, pinterest and instagram normal would actually be lovely if someone would do it for me…but I lack and energy to create it myself 🙂

Thank you for your response. Forgive my typos: *plastic bins… and “Any other sense of wisdom…” Not *Anything. Writing too late at night! I am an English teacher and constantly tell my students to proofread! Whoops – better take my own advice. Enjoying your blog.

Thank you for that glimpse into your life. My children, too, wish they had a more ‘normal’ family. The older I get, the less normal I feel. I think I’d be bored silly if I were Pinterest- and Instagram-style normal. Wouldn’t you?
Thank you also for the gentle reminder that all we need we find in Christ. Blessings.

Exactly, those moments of the joy of mastery are lovely, but, as you say, “Christ. We live and move and have our being in Him. Anything other sense of wisdom or control is just illusion. Always back to Him.”

I packed a large plastice bin today, working alongside with other women as we organized supplies for a church retreat. As all the coffee supplies were tucked into my container, I announced how good it felt to have order and control…if only an illusion! Those ‘I got this’ moments are fleeting; they feel good; but truth is that we never ‘have it’. We are always dependent on the One. As you said so beautifully as you ended your piece: Christ. We live and move and have our being in Him. Anything other sense of wisdom or control is just illusion. Always back to Him. Thank you for writing.
