The strength of one's personal belief creates many things in one's life.
Too long in my head forgeting about the strength and joy of the heart...
I sit in front of my computer this morning with a cup of tea. I am allowing my heart to be opened. I don't know how it slowly gets closed but so often it does. Sometimes I think there is so much to love in my life that my tiny little heart can't hold it all, all of the time.
This weekend it sprung right open once again watching Zander play his first ever baseball game! I have held this dream in my heart for him since soon after he first came into my life. We took him to the batting cages for the first time at six years old when my Dad came to visit us in Portland. That little boy could hit! Not afraid of the ball at all. Since that time summers have been spent visiting his mother so he has not played league ball. This summer, we are all together. This summer he gets to play & it is SUCH a joy to watch him. He is a little behind in fielding skills and understanding but the boy can still hit!
I miss Kaeli, certainly don't see or hear from her enough but 18 is a fickle age. I remember it all too well, so I understand.
Gideon and I, well, we have our moments where the neediness is just too much but for the most part... we adore each other all of the time. This morning we danced around the living room to John Lennon Pandora Radio. Such a sweet moment. I have to say one of the best parts about being a Mom is watching Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles share in Gideon's life. Nothing like it. Sure hope to be an Aunt soon myself!
And Jason, my love. What a beautiful patient soul that man has. I am surely grateful that Creator saw fit for us to find one another. My life, my heart, has been infinitely blessed in knowing him.
So, this morning, as the light rises in the east and shines through the leaves in the trees. My heart is opened and grateful. May each day hold such promise & my heart see that within each morning.
