I've struggled at times with the many changes that have taken place in my life the last few years.
Adjusting to living in a house full of men as God has used this opportunity to teach me to be a loving servant of him and ALL of his children.
I have gradually become a full time girlfriend,sister in law and step mom over the last 3 1/2 years.
Our situation is far from ordinary...
And then last Saturday I had a small epiphany.
It was a cold,grey,rainy morning.
We had a rough start and I was left grumpy and alone to finish my coffee.
Rather that sit and stew I decided to get busy and start my day.
Del came stumbling downstairs in a sleepy haze to retrieve a cup of coffee.
I was busy in the kitchen washing dishes and making salted caramel butter bars.
We chatted for a bit,
I complained about my morning,
he sympathized,we laughed and then he headed back upstairs.
A few minutes later I heard him turning on the radio..
finding a good song...
and then turning the volume way up.
I don't know what came over me but..
I danced.
Like full out booty shaking white girl, with soapy hands, in the middle of the kitchen with a stupid grin,
danced.
Suddenly I spun around to see 2 tiny faces staring at me in confusion.
Chipper and Maxine both looking up at me like they were ready to call the crazy farm!
I laughed as I wiped my hands and asked them both to dance.
Yah...no. They were too freaked out!
That's when it happen,
as if the last 3 years suddenly made sense all over again.
"I am right where I need to be."
In this house full of men,washing dishes,baking goodies,snuggling my fur babies and making memories.
Yes it's far from ordinary
but I know that it is all part of His plan.
I feel very blessed to be finding a more positive outlook and appreciating the work He has done with me to bring me to where I am today.
Right where I need to be.
:)
