we are one month away from beach vacation, 3 weeks away from matthew turning 5 months old, and about 18 years away from getting a good nights rest.
one thing i've learned over the last few months:
take EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with a grain of salt. No matter what anyone says to you, you cannot put any weight in it.
for example: the stories i've heard from family members about someone saying horrible things about me behind my back may be completely false. where as, someone who i never would've thought, is saying things equally as bad.
to put any expectations on anyone is bad. for example: my friends who say they will show up at a certain time at a certain place...they will notoriously be late. and that's ok. or they may not show up at all. but...there is grace and understanding.
I plan on living my life with the expectations i would have for everyone else, but just for me. there is grace. people are human. they are imperfect.
although sometimes i just want to scream, "i'm tired of being so forgiving!" but, i remember...if Jesus hadn't been so forgiving...i wouldn't be here.
killing my fleshly desires, to be more like Jesus...
and to leave you with cuteness:

Orrrr they show up in the middle of a horrible storm where trees split and they come dashing into your house with a baby and nothing else...except the pouring rain that comes in with them. hehe. But I think you're on the right track with your thinking!
