A little This, A little that

My sweet friend, Amber, had a birthday last week. R and I had so much fun celebrating with her!! She had some friends meet up with her at a Mexican place and then we went over to her house for cake and champagne. It was fun celebrating with Amber and reuniting with a favorite couple of ours from PA school, the Zips. It was a great night full of fun with friends!!

I headed to Charleston to see Ryan and some friends on Friday. On my way, I was able to stop in and see sweet Sarah, who is expecting a baby girl in October. She looks great and her nursery is adorable. It was great seeing her for a few minutes.

Then, R and I got to reunite with some great, wonderful friends. We were able to see most of our old bible study crowd at dinner on Friday night at our favorite spot in Charleston, Sette. Saturday, most of us went to Edisto to see Becca and Craig run the Governer's Cup. We had a blast. Becca and Craig did an awesome job and we had a blast hanging out with them

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it
