one way......


I don't look at my vocation as wife and mother as a dead end


when I took this picture, I realized a few things:

~ I like breaking through the walls and revealing what's underneath to you all (but not completely....some things are just too personal)

~sometimes I cannot see into my soul deep enough.......and for good reason, it's just not time for such awareness

~there is only one way to happiness, and that is to love God and truly
live out my life as wife/mother in THE best way I know how

Preparing for the sale, sewing....shopping.....has actually not been a distraction from my Lenten devotions, but rather, given me one way to remind myself
that I am a receiver.........of life........of new ideas.......
all from Him

only through sacrifice can we end up 'one way'
