Hello! Wow, it has been a busy month and a half for my family since school started. My daughter is playing two sports right now, and it is keeping us hopping. We knew when we agreed that she could play on a travel softball team that it would be busy this fall when softball overlapped with volleyball. We are hoping and praying that although we are a little too busy right now, we will be the right amount of busy the rest of the year. Please pray that we continue to follow God's leading and look to Him for the stamina we need to finish strong!
Needless to say, one of the things being pushed to the back burner right now is my writing time. I have drafted two blog posts in my head while walking our dog, but I am not really sure when I am going to get the time to write them out. In the meantime, I didn't want to neglect to write altogether or miss out on an opportunity to share pictures of my end of season flowers! So, here is a list of things I am thankful for in this busy, parent of a high schooler season, in no particular order because BUSY:
1. Time in the car with my daughter
2. The players on my daughter's softball and volleyball teams
3. The opportunity to coach and to watch
4. My husband being able to travel with us to recent games
5. Healthy bodies
6. Our dog, who is faithful and brings us so much joy
7. Families to homeschool with and keep us accountable
8. Flowers, which force me through their beauty to be quiet and wonder for a bit each day
9. The Psalms
10. A daughter and husband who help with dishes and laundry and don't complain about the weird things I come up with to eat for dinner on the go!
How is God revealing His presence and plan for you in the midst of your fall, whether it is a busy season or a quiet one?
