Complete Blindness

HELLO.
Today is a murky day. The rain drops are dripping, the sky is cloudy and colorless, wetness engulfs your inner-sunshine the moment you step out the door. Ha. I'm so dramatic, huh.

We had an absolutely gorgeous day yesterday. It was 65 degrees out, sun high in the sky, no cottonclouds in sight! Delaney and I went to our favorite 'Bethlehem Township Community Center' and walked for a good hour. And in that hour of exercise, inspiration started to flow. If only I could have my own personal scribe that sat on my shoulder as I went about my day. There were many moments in our walk, where the sun was just too bright. But the brightness was welcomed, I felt happy in the rays. So I closed my eyes and continued to walk, (Delaney doesn't know this - shhh.) I walked down the path, with my eyes closed and yet still felt a peace and a calmness. It was such an inspiring moment, that I laughed to myself. How the Lord speaks to me is often in simple ways as these...why do I doubt His presence?! I love that feeling of complete blindness, from the sun so why do I so strongly DISLIKE not knowing what Jesus is doing in my life? Why can I bask in the rays of a burning ball of fire and second guess and doubt and writhe with unhappiness about the unknown of my life directed by the creator and provider?

Yes. I am quite human. I was inspired in many other ways - but for now, thats all I have to share.

On a more updating note, DELANEY TURNS ONE YEARS OLD ON THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! To think, she has been in my life for 19 months now is amazing. That I've been a mom for a year is even more so. And that I haven't broken her yet, is just the very best of it all. We hope for a special little party just the three of us, on Thursday:0) She won't know any different, but it means alot to me.

Besides that, we're living from day to day. We're overcoming hurdles despite their disappointing outcomes and pressing on. We pray that you are all well and spending time in the word. I often have shared with friends to strive for red eyes and raw knees but in church this past weekend, I was enlightened to strive for something even more. Forget the raw knees...you want to pray whether life is good or rocky...strive for camel calloused knees. Okay friends?

In Christ,
Kyla

Delaney and Quinn, Meghan and Todd's son. We were over for dinner one night and Delaney was loving the 'baby'. Although he is only 3 months younger, Delaney was confident she was not the baby.
