I am trying to capture the thoughts I had swirling in my head as I sat in the bathtub. I don't plan to write a lot but I just wanted to say that,
A. Miriam Jubliee is born! How gracious and wondrous and thunderous an event that was and it's altered our world irrevocably ever since then. I will absolutely tell the story on here at some point, just not now.
B. I am long overdue for a post and I also need to put creativity as a priority even though it's difficult with such a tiny one to care for at all times (literally, all times I am thinking of her at least in the back of my mind, it's really full-on to be a parent).
C. We are going to visit Minnesota soon. In merely a week's time we shall be enveloped in a winter wonderful-land with warm friends and family.
Although my thoughts feel lucid I am writing kind of disjointed. I guess that's okay. I just want to get it all down. I won't apologize anymore.
Having a baby is truly a unique (yet nearly universal strangely) experience. I was just thinking earlier; how is it that every person, every singular soul, came into the world as a small innocent being? It's just completely crazy when one starts to truly ponder it.
Another thought I had worth sharing: since we have come to Virginia I have found my life to be quite different and I'm sure that difference will only be augmented now that we are visiting Minnesota several months after leaving. I am sure I will see things quite peculiarly. I am also confronted with the inevitability of change. A few years ago I thought my life couldn't be much better and I really was thriving and didn't want it to change. Now, it's a few years later and although I miss some things I have grown and others have grown and changed too and we just cannot go back and that's okay. It's been said a bajillion times but I guess that's because it's so true: nothing is constant except change. Right, I guess that leads to theology and thinking on God but that's a whole 'nother post. In a way, though, I guess that's a good note to leave on: I am glad God is a constant in a world of change.
Psalm 46:10
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
