Storehouse of Wisdom

Sometimes its important to check out.  To quiet the mind and hush out the opinions on twitter or the often ramblings of Facebook status updates.  Sometimes its necessary to turn off the cell phone and just be.  Because a lot of times, those sounds weigh my heart down.  I get distracted from my purpose.  My heart breaks over the negativity, and I just feel empty.  So this weekend, that's exactly what I did.

My life is far from spectacular, and I'm praying it never will be, but it is full!  See, I've traveled around the world, embraced many hugs, and called many places home, but there is something quite humbling about the quiet times in life.

So as I prepare for the adventures in the months to come that will have my world expand beyond what I know, I gladly enjoy the moments now....

And all the summer days where new flowers bloom and life flourishes in our backyard...

And the man that I married and all of his silly moments...

And her personality that starts to reflect her feelings inside...

And all of her silly facial faces...

And on rare and new occasions, when the baby is fast asleep, we get a night like this.  A night where we bundle up and sip some hot coco and fill our minds with wisdom.

So I pray you all find days to unplug and check out.  Days to quiet the noises from some of the unnecessary sounds we invite, and hear the very sound of the melody of your own heart.
