Man, oh man...

Well, does time fly..I cannot tell you what a whirlwind these last two weeks have been. Yes, I finally HAD to go back to work. I totally love my job and adore every girl I work with...I really do. But, it is SO, VERY, INCREADIBLY aweful to leave that little baby every day. It IS however SO helpful to have a nanny, who is fantastic to leave her with. It is so convenient to get up and get going, knowing I don't have to pack up a little baby and drop her off at a god-forsaken YUCKY day-care. I am sure there are lovely day care centers all around the US, but seriously..not here. So, to all the world (thank you God), another prayer answered and one less worry to have. I rush home for lunch so I can feed Maddy and spend some time kissing her ever-growing cheeks. The time I am home flies by so fast...it is so sad, because then I have to leave her AGAIN to go back to this job that I really do love. I am so blessed to live so close to work that I am even able to come home. I am also SO blessed to work in such a great place. The second I was sitting in our office again, I felt like not one moment had passed since I had been sitting there pregnant waiting to see when I'd finally meet this baby! It is really weird...a lot of changes have taken place there, for the better I should say. I can't believe how much they have done since I have been away.

Anway, it is not very often Matt gets to sleep later than 4:30 am, but it is seriously rare for him to still be asleep when I leave for work. Actually, I don't think I have ever awaken before him...hehe This morning, before I left I looked one last time at the two of them and my heart ached to the core because I had to walk away. I carried that ache with me all day long. This part stinks....bad. This is what I had to kiss goodbye today: Could they BE any cuter?

Matt went to this thing last weekend, I don't know what it is called but it is the kind of thing where you can buy all kinds of hunting supplies and goodies. I was so proud that the only thing he walked out of there with was an outfit for Maddy. As touched as I was that he thought of only her while he was there, Jeff Foxworthy could certainly use this one!

In other news:

We have decided to home-school Moriah. I am thrilled about it, I think she will get a far better education when she is not so distracted by the social element of high school. While I am waiting for her course and all, she is spending some time with my parents. They are enjoying her wayy to much and I am afraid I may not get her back. Anyway, I miss her so much. I feel like half my heart is gone while she is not here. She didn't always say much, but her presence was everything to me. I can't stand it anymore. MOM, I am coming to GET HER! No, not really, not yet anyway. I can't wait to see her, so I am going up on Saturday to spend some serious quality time with her. I don't know if she'll be able to pry my arms from around her. We'll just have to see.

Let Him dwell within me, ALL of my days. He is my and the only source of real JOY! The world is a liar. Only YOU can decide who you want to be, your identity is either in the world or in Jesus. If it's in Jesus then you are perfect because He is perfect. He atoned for all of our real imperfections. If sin leads to death, why do we chase it? Why do we chase the grave instead of His grace? Me too, it's a daily surrender of my desire for the world. Daily, hourly, minutely. The pull is intense and the struggle is real. Literally. No matter what happens to me, you know your mother's heart chases after Jesus Christ Himself. It is not the path of least resistance. On the contrary. I live my life for Him and through Him because I have already experienced the contrary. It was a state of darkness and death. Absence of light and of love. Of course I want to spare you the suffering of that course but sometimes we must walk through that mire to appreciate Him as he washes it off of us s...
