Deep thinking...maybe

I cannot easily explain the depth of my reflections this weekend...I know I am right where I am supposed to be at this appointed time.  I feel the urge to share things I love...and one thing I love is my life:)

Sometimes after a stressful week at school it is a great escape to focus on who Misty really is outside of my profession.  So, you can imagine my whirlwind of thoughts... who am I now, at 38?  What is my next goal?  What will God require of me next?...kind of exciting to ponder but I have learned...no matter what...change is inevitable and I must be ready for any challenge.

David and I are remodeling...well, I think I should say...David is making my idea come together...I am finally saying goodbye to the avocado green bathroom and welcoming a fresh, crisp, tranquil bathroom in my life.  (Even though Chloe Jo will still knock on the door every time I am in the tub!)  ha

I love my home.  It is a small, cozy house...but one I have literally put my heart in to.  I bought this house before David and I married and have grown quite attached to its feeling of warmth and safety.  We have worked on this house since David and I started dating...making it reflect the things we love.  Now, after almost 7 years of marriage and Chloe Jo in our lives, there is never a dull moment.  My favorite part is she prefers nothing more than being at home:)    

Remodeling presents certain challenges for marriage...especially when someone isn't a fan of working on things.  David is very capable of doing all of the work but thankfully God has provided a means for us to hire most of this job out.  I am totally pumped because another new love in my life is my jacuzzi tub I am about to have in my 38th year of my wonderful life!

When going through a BIG transformation like this...it forces makes me to think about how a remodel relates to my life.  There are certainly things about myself that need work.  When you go to buy things to replace your old stuff it is a bit overwhelming at all the choices...but you focus on the BIG picture. 

I need to make a commitment to do some work...spiritually.  I need to focus on the BIG picture...

So, who am I at 38...still a child of God...still trying to have that child-like faith...a God-fearing woman, a Christian, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a teacher...

Add these to the things I love... hot pink tulips, bluegrass music, crushed ice and cold Diet Coke in a glass, my navy sweater, reading a great love story, blogging about my family, laughing in tears at my husband's latest antics, texting commentary to JoMeagan during The Bachelor and DWTS on weeknights...and my new favorite thing is to sing my song entitled Micki in a Mini Van...I receive daily updates on her search for a FULLY LOADED new ride:)   

Hope this week brings great things, friends.  I am faithful that God is at work...I love you all:)
