Hold your agenda loosely.

I, personally know and have experienced the power presence has in and on relationships. The power of engaging, involving, and embracing the people I love the most in my life. Having experienced the power of presence I long for it every single day. I pray every single day that God keeps me focused on being who he has called me to be.

There is a struggle I also face every single day. The struggle is "to do," then do some more, topped off with do! I'm wired "to do" even though I long "to be!"

Let me explain; when I walk into the house and see a load of laundry that needs folded, another that needs dried, and another that needs washed; pjs from three Little's scattered through the house, a dishwasher that needs unloaded and then reloaded, breakfast dishes that need cleared off the table, and beds that need made; the inner Lindsay Lash attacks one task after another... then I hear a Little's voice; "Mommy, I hold you??"

"One minute Little!" I reply. Although, I mean 200 minutes when all the tasks that are screaming at me are done. The day spirals and one task after another gets added and I do and do some more..... the problem and it's big I long "to be!"

Our culture is time, productivity, and doing focused! Is that wrong? I can't answer that for you; however I can answer for me....

God has slowed me down and shown me the power of presence! My heart aches when I reflect on the times I was too busy doing; that I missed the "Mommy, I hold you." Satan uses task after task to distract and keep me from being who God wants me "to be!"

I heard this weekend, "hold your agenda loosely!" I love those four words! I also feel that those four words help explain how being "fluid" works and looks! I'm a work in progress and this is what I'm working on..... holding my agenda for each day lightly- knowing, expecting, and waiting for God to call me out of doing and into being.

Start over...

Sometimes no matter how much we practice, train, study, or prepare we mess up.

Personally, a true test of one's character is when they mess up and make the choice to start over; instead, of continuing knowing their wrong. Adele did this Sunday evening. She was singing a song and was completely on the wrong note... she paused and simply asked for a restart.

I'm sure it was difficult for her, but what a message. We all make mistakes! What we decide to do after is the most important.

Your last mistake did you go on hoping no one would notice? Or did you own it; and humbly ask for a restart?

Happy Valentine's Day! May today and all the days ahead be a growing experience!

Marriage Conference!

It took me about 6 hours to get meds, bags, house picked up, and notes left so Ryan and I could be gone 24 hours! We both can't remember the last time we stayed in a hotel together without The Littles...., which means we haven't since having Harrison.

The conference was amazing! Ryan and I enjoyed our time together, we learned new things, and focused on us!

It became even more obvious to us the importance of being intentional on working on our marriage every single day! Unfortunately, the norm is to wait until the marriage is fragile, failing, and far from what God wants.

A great marriage takes great communication! Ryan and I felt we communicated well, but there is always room for growth! The last 24 hours we have been able to have "heart talk" about our vulnerabilities, fears, and what we need from one another.

Happy Valentine's Week! May God shine his light on your lives and marriage! ❤
