Kyleigh woke me up about 5:45am today and as I began to nurse her, I heard Reagan playing in his crib. I thought "This could end up being a very long day." However, both kids fell back asleep and I was lucky enough to stay in bed until 8am!!!! It's amazing how a little extra sleep can make all the difference!
Today, I am feeling very encouraged. I can't pinpoint why I feel so encouraged today specifically, but I am thankful for it! I had a wonderful time with a friend and her kids this morning. We had a chance to catch up and just let the kids play - they did great! After they left, the house was quiet (only for a brief moment), the toys were picked up, there wasn't a mess in every room in the house, and I just felt encouraged. That's all I can say is I feel encouraged :)
On a different note, it's amazing to me that 5 years ago today, Ryan and I embarked on an adventure we thought would only last 3 years. We left California and headed to Illinois for Ryan to begin his Masters Degree at Trinity. We never thought we'd still be here, but we are! As I mentioned to my friend earlier today, the Lord's hand was definitely at work. I am thankful for everything He's done so far and how He's lead us down the path we're following.
I am so thankful and have much to praise the Lord for!
