Here and there

I will eventually be on a schedule and get back to some regular blogging, but for now at 5:00 am after a rough night of no sleep, I thought I would write a bit of randomness--and bore you all with what's on my mind (okay not everything, but a little)

I am thinking about all of my family and friends in Kelowna right now.  My in-laws both live in West Kelowna and are on evacuation alert.  It has been pretty scary and the fire that affects them is only 20% contained.  Our good friends Ron and Laura (who took us in and have become wonderful friends of ours when we moved back to Kelowna) have been evacuated and we have some other friends that live close to them who have also been evacuated.  It is pretty scary and we are really praying for all these people and that the fire fighters can get these fires contained!

I am cherishing all of the moments I have with my baby and trying to just enjoy every phase as this will probably be the last time we will have an infant.  It is hard when you are exhausted and haven't had any sleep, but when you look down and see this tiny little gift from God smiling up at you, it really melts your heart and you suddenly don't feel so tired!

I am pondering  some scripture I read today about loving your enemies.  It is really a hard thing to do!  

I am going through some serious withdrawal.  I want to travel and go somewhere exotic, but will have to wait for a while!
