I don't really even know where to begin with over two months since my last entry. Brad encouraged me to blog a few days ago and until he mentioned it, I forgot all about this little site. Funny enough though, as soon as he said it I realized how much I've missed writing these simple entries. I've said it once, but I'll say it again... this is a sweet, sweet outlet for my mind.
The beginning of April I started working part time. Without going into too much detail, the Lord lovingly crafted a job perfectly sized for me. I am working two days a week at a Christian, infant adoption agency. It's a lovely schedule for my family, as my children all attend MDO while I work. It is pure ministry and a sweet, sweet place to spend several hours of my week. I've already been blessed beyond measure by the relationships that I have formed there. Each Tuesday and Thursday I look forward to going! Plus I surprisingly enjoy waking up early, showering before lunch and wearing pretty clothes two days a week. Not to mention, I've been able to dust off a few pairs of heels that I've missed slipping my feet into. I'm grateful.
Motherhood is more full time than ever before. And it has been full time from the beginning. With a smart five year old who will be starting kindergarten in the fall, a quickly maturing middle beauty who is my side-kick from waking till sleeping, and an eighteen month old that keeps me on my toes and never settle for less than what she wants at the moment, life is blissful. And when I say blissful, I don't mean it in the relaxed sense of the word. But I do mean it in the most thankful sense of the word. Jesus continues to prune and pluck my heart and selfishness on a daily basis. I'm a purely simple lovely mess. And more grateful for grace than ever.
Our summer has been filled with late afternoons at the pool, mornings on the trampoline, lunches in the kitchen with Daddy, and late nights around the chiminea with my guy.
And that my friends is two months and three days in the Ingram household in a nutshell. A very, very condensed nutshell.
