Time has a way of just passing when we don't even realize it. We get caught up in the day to day happenings and forget to pause and reflect. We don't think about the rest of the world going on when we just live in our little bubble.
We have internet now after not for 2 1/2 years. In that time I never once thought about other people's lives going at the pace mine was. I am shocked at the amount of marriages, kids, and other stuff that happened in other people's lives. The feeling of shock is also accompanied by remorse. Feelings of I should have been there for people, or if I had only know I could have helped, or I can't believe I missed this or that.
What follows is a strong desire to do something about it, but what? How in the middle of what feels like a chaotic life, do I pick up pieces that have been laid down for years? How do you get involved with people when they haven't heard hide nor hair of you? What can I do about things when I feel like I'm nearly drowning just trying to balance wife, mom, and homemaker?
Through everything, my prayer is peace and grace. More than anything, these are what I want to exhibit and share.
