Things

     People all over are writing these articles about 10 things  you need to know for...Or 7 unheard facts about something.   One I read yesterday was someting about 10 habits of an organized person.  I've been in a twist ever since. I find it rather annoying to myself that I am not organized.  And then I read this article and confirmed it. I badly want to defend myself.  I would like to write an article called 10 characteristics of a controlling person.  But that's reacting.
    In defense of us non organizers......  I say that we are more flexible.  We are more relational.  And we can give and take easier. And the stories not all told.  We might actually get that organization thing down yet.  As long as there is life there's hope right?  
     I do indeed organize at times though.  And this week I've been working on cleaning.  Corners.  Feels so good.  I dream of a clean quiet house.  They tell me some day I'll sit and want these noisy messy days back.  I just don't know if thats true.  Life is noisy and messy.  If I don't have that I may not have life.  But noise and mess don't have to be in my house!  Right now the basement is all torn apart so I feel the noise and mess much more!
     And to Janine.  I wish I had some great inspiration for this basement project.  I have goals.  But not too much inspiration, sadly.  My goals though.  I have grand intentions to paint those new rooms in colors I can live with for a while.  Mostly grey with some red and black accent.  And I'm hoping to pick a gray that is ageless, so that when they boys are done with their red and black colors I can still use the grey for MY choices of color and decor.
       And when we finally get them moved down, I will have gone through all the stuff down there and hopefully have it so cleared out that I will not be forever ORGANIZING my stuff!  I am so very very sick of stuff!!!!  If I have stuff, I just have to dust and clean and ORGANIZE!  If I don't have STUFFFFF  I can actually have time to enjoy the things of life that have meaning.  :)
    So. Happy spring cleaning to everyone and Enjoy your Things and your Organization and control!    I'm going to just do the cleaning part and be done with it.     But I'll be happy, and flexible and relational!   HaHa!

I have to totally admire the flexibility in people who are less organized. God is slowly teaching me to be flexible. Or rather, I'm slowly learning. And oh! the stuff! how I love to purge! Wishing you spring ASAP! :)

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
