The Life I am Living...

This post is totally copying my friend, Lindsay, but it was so simple and a great way to share. Here is a looking into the Life I am Living....

I'm reading Windows to our Children- by Violet Oaklander. It is making my heart skip a beat. I love love love it!

I'm enjoying a great Wednesday evening at home with my family. We went to the Pumpkin Patch tonight, we ate a warm homemade dinner, the kids played on www.spellingcity.com (GREAT website, moms!), we had hot brownies with cream cheese frosting, and read books together.

I'm learning how very much I have yet to learn. My PhD program is stretching me. I am learning so much from my cohort friends!

I'm watching my children grow up before my eyes! Pant legs are getting longer, vocabularies are growing, grocery bill is larger than ever, interests are broadening, my love is deepening!

I'm anticipating my 34th birthday which is just around the corner.

I'm realizing how much I have changed in the last several years.

I'm pondering the transition I am making to be a therapist... a real, client seeing therapist! Yup... two nights a week, I am seeing clients. It is bringing me so much life and energy.

I'm studying and studying. For work, I am studying to motivate the disengaged student, for clients I am studying about anxiety & trauma and for classes I am also studying about clinical supervision.

I'm wondering about the future.

I'm remembering the past. I have been reminiscing fall memories of raising these kids a lot lately. (pumpkin patch visits always bring them back)

I'm praying for joy. Last week, I felt urged by the Spirit of God to love on Him, pressing forward into a fresh experience of the joy only He can give. I am reminded that it begins with a heart of thankfulness.
