Life has been chaotic around here lately. For the tens of you that read this blog, you’ll have noticed that it’s been quieter than usual, and if you’re even still reading, thank you. I knew that life would turn upside down after having my daughter four months ago, but I’m not sure I could have have truly comprehended the complete transformation our lives have gone through.
It has been a whirlwind of celebrations when the little reaches a new milestone, anxiety when we find out she’s sick (again) from daycare, growth spurts, job anxieties & stress, new responsibilities, a month long illness for me, a 48 hour work trip to Florida, setting my alarm to wake up at 11:50 p.m. to buy a ticket for Allume, and going to bed at 8 pm to try to survive another day.
And that’s just been the last few weeks.
Our lives are moving and changing. Chaotic, yes. But at least we aren’t stuck.
The quote above reminds me of my favorite Bible verse. I know yoga quotes and Bible verses don’t usually go together, but there is only one way for my heart to be still in the middle of this crazy life:
Just left you a reply on the (in)courage Bloom book club. I told you that you were amazing before, but after reading your blog and hearing about the last few months, you TRULY ARE AMAZING!!! Keep it up, girl! I’ve heard it said…”We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, Who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.” –Brother Lawrence. So keep it up. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0)
Trail by fire is SO true – and my least favorite way to figure things out 😛 Thanks so much for visiting 🙂
The arrival of a new baby throws everything you know about life and schedule out the window. My son is five months old, and we’re finding our rhythm, but it is trial by fire.

It is good that it is an option to keep the stillness within even when storms are raging without.
It’s the still times that yield the most progress for me.
This resonates in my life today!
Thank you!

I’ve got a crazy busy life, at times because of things I’ve chosen to do, and sometimes it’s because of world or family commitments. Whenever life gets incredibly busy, I feel the need for some quiet and I tend to shut down a bit and “plan” some quiet for myself. It’s so refreshing!
Great post!
We are so grateful you linked up today! Love that line …”but at least we are not stuck.” Momentum…keeps things moving forward and sometimes that ship rests on calm waters, but sometimes it’s choppy. Love that your ship is not anchored. And congrats on that new baby!!
