Well, I feel a little sheepish.  It’s been about 5 months since I last posted here.  I think of it quite often, but I’ve been finding that just the thought of sitting down and “composing” something publishable is overwhelming.  Have I mentioned I’m a perfectionist?  Well, I am – a stark raving crazy perfectionist, and I need to stop.  My children have been teaching me that.  So, I am going to attempt to write stuff here more often, even if it’s not perfect, because it helps me to process life and I would love to connect with anyone who might be interested in reading.

So what’s new, you ask?  Well, today, I’ve been reading a lot about Compassion’s work with their sponsored children in Uganda.  Two of my favorite bloggers are there right now and are writing about their experiences – I highly recommend checking them out.  (see BooMama and Rocks in my Dryer in my sidebar).  I have been extremely mindful lately of the fact that I have SO MUCH here in Canada – food, clothing, minivan, safe place to live, medical care – not to mention the more intangible and important things like salvation, hope, a purpose, the Holy Spirit’s guidance, etc.  It is always good to remember that many people don’t have any of those things that we so often take for granted.  So go read!

Anything else I could say seems unimportant by comparison…our baby just turned 5 months old (yes, already!), kids were sick last week, A. has started the internship portion of his program and is enjoying it for the most part, Happy Valentine’s Day, blah blah blah.  I’ll come back again another day with more thoughts but right now I think I’m inspired to write some letters to our sponsor kids.  See ya later!
