What I learned this week…

Exodus 16 — God says, “‘In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.’…However, some of them paid no attention to Moses.”  I learned that sometimes, in response to powerful revelation and provision, God asks me for menial obedience.  And I don’t want to miss that.

I learned that my slow cooker is my bff.

I learned that if I leave my 5 yo alone with the wii for an hour, he will completely conquer MarioKart and I will get all the laundry folded and organized.

I learned that if I leave my 5 yo alone with the wii for an hour, I will feel an overly appropriate measure of MommyGuilt.

I learned that my 6 yo daughter has a TREMENDOUS sense of style and I truly *don’t* have to help her pick her clothes out anymore.

I learned that I shouldn’t feel sad that she’s growing up because our new little girl will be here so quickly and I’ll be picking out cutie outfits again for another 6 years.

I learned that the idea of “starting over” overwhelms me by the blessing it is, and for the responsibility it will require.

I learned that 2 well placed $.98 patches easily saved my favorite and unfortunately $48 jeans.

I learned that I’d already had a tetanus shot within the last 5 years so I didn’t have to get one for our mission trip; the thought had me laughing in delight!

I learned that cake batter, mixed to silk perfection in my BadBoy mixer, makes me VERY happy :)
