Wednesday Wonderful part two

I have to say I had one of those days

that God was so at work

It was one of those days where things were going one way

and then bam

another

and them back to the original way

then bam

then back

and ended it with a bible study

which brought it all back into perspective

So what I mean is...

it was really calm this afternoon

I even took a walk in the perfect weather

pushing Baylen

and walking Piper

both were so perfect

even if we passed many dogs

and Baylen dropped his snack a few minutes out

they were perfect

When I got home

things were still calm

all the chores were done

no the kids did not do them

I had gotten the done earlier

Anyway

I pulled out a game

the three kids and I sat on the floor

and played games

Piper did not even try to attack

not once

It was perfect

We needed to go to choir in twenty minutes

no big deal

Until

Sam could not find her shoe

Baylen had a dirty diaper

and Bo had a BIG problem with having to go the church

Lets just say

things turned a little less calm

we did get in the car

and I listened to three kids

fight the whole way

I mean the whole way

When we got there

Baylen did one of his go limp moves

and would not walk

So I carried him

while trying to keep Bo from running into the street

with Samantha yelling at me

come on mom

I don't want to be late

But I felt something wet on my side

No it was not baylen

But the black beans

that were leaking from my bag

from the picnic dinner that I had packed for after choir

I could hear someone on my phone saying

Katy are you there

I guess something in my bag answered the phone

all I could say is

no I am not here

I don't know where I am

So

Sam went on

and I took the boys to a nursery

which did not go well

and while my heart was breaking walking down the hall

and a million reasons why I should not be walking away from my crying baby

I walked into the sanctuary

to sit next to me first born

and go right into singing a song about mothers

and how they make the kids who they are

My heart felt better

circling me right back from calm

to crazy

back to calm

I took a deep breath

and thanked God for the crazy

because It made me appreciate the calm that much more

Things were fine when I picked the boys up

they were so fine

I headed to bible study

and it was amazing

We continued from the book Fearless

which is so great

We talked tongiht about the many seasons we go through in life

We don't seem to fret when we go from summer to fall

from fall to winter

and winter to spring

It is change

but for some reason we don't freak out

it is because we know it is coming

the thing is life is the same way

God never told us that we would not have different seasons of life

He just told us that he would be there with us during the change

While everything around us changes

He stays the same

We focused on Ecc. verses about there is a time for everything

It was so neat to go word for word

really seeing how we will go through each of these seasons

birth and death

sow and harvest

grief and dance

the list goes on and on

We will not always be in winter

even though it may feel that way

just like when we are in summer

we should enjoy and not fret over the coming winter

but know that when it comes

we will see it though

and be okay

and know the warmth will come again

It is from the seasons of change

and the hardships we go through

that make us who we are

We talked of a seed

how a seed is part of a fruit

and when the fruit is cut

the seed dies

It is a dead seed

yet when you plant the seed

it produces new life

this is amazing

something we don't think about each day

but this is so profound

right before our eyes

we have death

that turns to life

just like when Jesus died

and came to life

just like when we are dead and feel so low

we come back

and have joy again

and just like we will never die

we will live forever

So all in all

it showed me just like the seasons

sometimes we may think we are in one

but we can quickly go into another

just like somethimes its 40 in april and 70 in December

not all change we see coming

all we can do is pray for peace

and just let it happen

and know

that there is a time for everything

change is good

its all how you look at it
