A dose of reality hit tonight as Logan told me the second semester of his senior year in HS will begin tomorrow. He scraped his last lunch tray with friends who will have a different lunch period than he. I somehow still can't get over the surreal feelings I continue to have.......

This weekend we head to Rochester, NY, for the CanAm Qualifier for the final time in many years. Logan and his Yorktown 18 Blue team will be vying for a bid for Nationals in TX this summer. Kind of looking forward to the time spent with him on the ride up smile emoticon

Sitting and chatting with Chynna at 10 p.m. last night about possible wedding dates, venues, etc. also makes this new story I'm writing all the more special and....... sacred. I can honestly feel overwhelmed too, if I let myself, so I tell myself my faith and belief will be stretched even more......

And that's okay.

Jordan is getting his freelance business going in the last few weeks, finalizing work contracts and networking locally. It's quite good that he is scoping out the area, talent, and vision in the Valley. Definitely enlightening and a big reality check. Direction is coming.......

Some days it seems we struggle; to find faith in the everyday, hope for the future, and passion in the present. As I pray and seek the Lord in this new year, I am gaining greater vision, goals are growing bigger, and I see the moves we have made will benefit us, and the community, in a great way.

At this age and stage in life, I am always amazed at the complications that come; not necessarily because of my "drama", but from outside sources.
What one views as a "loss", I see as potential new life. My perspective flips some people out but I think it's the right side up way to look at life.......

Of course I can absorb the loss if I let myself, and I have; I definitely am a "feeling" person as you probably know smile emoticon However, I have learned a lot when it comes to preservation, protection, and waiting on His promises to come. It is a delicate balance and my heart's commitment.

Looking at life through new eyes. ‪#‎renewhope‬
