Reflective

It seems like we are at a crossroads right now.  We know where we've come, we know where we are, but beyond that we don't know much else.

Perhaps it's the New Year or my lack of REM sleep, but I'm feeling rather nostalgic.  If my life were a movie, this would be the flashback sequence.  I would be sitting on a porch overlooking a lake, sipping some coffee, watching the sunset and the movie would slowly fade into pieces of my past.

I'm not sure if it's the weather or the fact that this month is Zoe's birthday, but I've become very reflective lately.  It's made me very grateful for where I am, where my family is.  We are still growing, still learning and still trying to lean on God for everything.  Sometimes we fail and sometimes we succeed.  I can guarantee our fail rate is much less than it was a few years ago.

As I hold Zoe, with her stuff nose and low-grade fever and watch my REM sleep slip away, I wouldn't trade this moment.  Wouldn't trade this use of REM sleep for anything else.  I know where we've come from and how quickly it can all be taken away. 

I'm gearing up for a series of posts that tell our story.  Tell how we began to see things from His perspective and not from ours.  I hope you enjoy it.
