Lately I have been watching my girls deal with a lot of frustration and disappointment.  I feel helpless.

Lately my thoughts keep turning towards the people of Japan and my heart has been full of sorrow and compassion. 

Lately I have been reminded that God is the God of life.

Lately I have been missing my mom like crazy.  I’ve been desperately searching my heart for any words of comfort or wisdom that she might have planted there in my youth.

Lately I have noticed that I am very easily distracted.

Lately I have been reminded that my husband is incredibly sensitive, patient, and kind.

Lately I have had a tremendous desire to break into song at random times throughout the day.

Lately I have become obsessed with the idea of being in a flash mob.

Lately I haven’t been sleeping very well.

Lately large cups of coffee and meditating on this verse have kept me going.   “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”   Romans 8:28

Lately I have been inspired while doing totally mundane tasks. 

Lately I have really been pursuing my purpose with intention and passion. 

Lately I have felt loved.
