This sure is a season of events!!! From bridal showers, weddings, and anniversaries to baby showers and birthdays galore – it seems I have to check my calendar every day to make sure I’m not missing something really important! Now until the end of July is just simply gonna be out of control! The only thing I’ve yet to encounter seems to be a graduation…but just wait…I bet at least one of those is coming too!!!
On the bright side, this means that people I love and enjoy are celebrating important milestones and events in their lives, and this makes me smile! However, balancing all of this with my other regularly scheduled activities and my boy’s crazy busy schedule at times tends to cause moments of sheer panic…
So…I’m pokin right along these days, happy as a clam, but don’t be surprised if I spaz out every once in awhile while I attempt to keep all of my world’s events from bumping into and running over one another…

Dreams and Expectations
Lately it seems my subconscious is informing me of fears and concerns I didn’t know I had through dreams while I sleep at night…Last night was no exception. I woke frequently, and each time I had had another dream…Now, I know I overanalyze things, and probably look too far into my dreams, but I’ve also seen God use dreams in my life to guide me or give me peace in the past, so I’m certain each one is worth considering.
In the midst of all of those dreams, I deleted a lot of text messages at about 3:00 AM – during one of those unable to sleep moments of last night… I’ve learned that expectations can cause painful endings… It was time to remove the words that built the expectations in hopes somehow the pain would erase with them…so far, not the case, but I’m trusting Him to hold me through the hurt… and I’ve learned, if there’s a next time, I will manage those expectations, and my heart, far more closely…
"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen."
