Truth is...I almost just went to Facebook instead of writing this.
But, I know I need a soul check and this is going to turn me a little more back in the direction of renewing than a social media check will. So here's what truth I have to share for today...
Truth is...laughing with Micah tonight over silly games and coming up with words for the alphabet was the types of memories I want to make. I laughed till I cried, I can't remember the last time I did that. So needed.
Truth is...I walked during my 'run' today and thought a lot about happy failures. Thought about if my goal was to run the whole time I would have failed. But if my goal was to get outside and be in the sun, and move my body, and be thankful...totally success.
Truth is...tutoring someone their math facts is a level of creative teaching that I haven't had to do in a long time, but it helps remind me that I always have more to learn. It helps remind me that learning is a process and watching someone learn is a gift that I have been entrusted with.
Truth is...I am stinking tired. I don't know how much longer I can keep up taking classes, teaching, tutoring, and figuring out my kid's schedules. But the more I allow myself to be still in the midst of all of this the more that gets done. That's a weird truth.
Truth is...being a parent is hard. Really hard, but man the rewards of the last two days were all the sweeter because of how hard Thursday night was. Watching 50 First Dates and eating granola bars...leaning in and enjoying the gift of time together. Like actual be together time.
Truth is...God is good. Even when we have to fix the Subaru, pay taxes, fix the deck, and say no to Hawaii.
Truth. So much better for my soul.
