Catching Up

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I know.  I took another writing vacation.  Whatever ;)

The fluffy bunnies around here have undergone a lot of changes lately.  I'm no longer working for Discovery Cove at Sea World.  That is a long story that will probably require a post all for itself.  I'm currently looking for something else part-time, because, let's face it, I like to spend a little bit of money now and then.  ;)

The kids are getting bigger and bigger, and each day I watch them face new challenges.  I have to say that overall, I'm fairly proud of these kids.  They amaze me every single day.  We've been catching up on a lot of homeschooling assignments, and their eagerness to learn is unquenchable!!

I'm currently working on a project with a friend.  He is going to be opening up a coffee house that will be for "social profit" - all of the earnings will be sent to Africa.  I'm so excited - and quite privileged - to be working on this with him.  He has an incredible story, and an incredible vision.  I'll be posting things from him from time to time, hopefully y'all will be interested in helping us out!

During one of our recent planning sessions, he shared a song with me, and I'd love for you to listen to it.  The words really hit me where I am right now.  I have really struggled with trying to figure out who I am for the last few years.  (Ok, honestly, I'm not sure I've ever known who I am ... but that's a different post for a different day.)  But at the end of the day, God has a purpose for me, and I don't really have to know what my path is supposed to look like.  I just have to wake up every single morning and surrender myself to Him and He will guide me.
