Having a "moment" right now.
Job:
I teach at middle school after-school girls groups as part of my job right now. We talk about the choices we need to make to have healthy lifestyles. The importance of eating good foods, getting exercise, supporting each other, laughing.
Home:
Matt and I are also licensed foster parents. We haven't ventured down the road of a full placement but have found a niche doing respite care (which is foster care for short-term periods of time).
Where I am going... I am going here. To my fingers that are resting on the computer after a day of work. The kids in our house are winding down for bed. Barak threw one huge fit tonight. He is jealous for me. If I look at anyone his eyes well up with tears. And I find myself reflecting on the conversations I have had with my 7th and 8th grade girls today. They are BOY CRAZY girls. But they were excited to take plums and soynuts home to have their families try them.
And my mind wanders back to the song... How He Loves.
If I could take the tears of Barak and combine it with the energy of boy crazy girls. That is how much God loves me. Me. Humble, unqualified me. He has given me a unique opportunity to sow into the lives of so many kids. Some that I only know for 4 weeks at a time. Others for 2 days at a time. But every single face has inspired me to give all that I can. And while I give all that I can, I draw on the truth of just how much God loves me.
He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.
So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way
That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves
He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

Hey there friend. Just stalking your blog today and saw this post. Is this your most recent? A little busy having five children to care for? Just poking at you. Love you friend!
Loved it, by the way. He is jealous for me! Yes.

Ad-hoc cellular function seemed to be usable on the floor, however only throughout ethnic background mode. The idea worked well beautifully within our assessment, proceeding head-to-head with one other E present person in attendance around the Sterling silver Wetlands monitor. Approximately a number of players can be supported within ad-hoc function, but we've not nevertheless had a possiblity to attempt that many people on the E present floorboards.There are a few difficult areas that will must be exercised ahead of the sport will be introduced. The superior is likely to be that there is sizeable slowness inside crash function as increasing numbers of cars accumulate directly into each other.
