i'm not sure:

- why you can repeat yourself one thousand times & your message still isn't heard

- why some days you feel like weeping at the thought of seeing a baby, & others you can rejoice with a genuine heart & hold them till your forced to give them back

- why winter just instantly makes you crave soups and bread and cream and food 7 times a day

- why you cower at the thought of saying something you feel so strongly about, simply because someone might not like you for it

- why working for friends seems to make quitting so much more challenging than if they were 'not friends' 

- why no matter how many rooms, projects and tasks you complete lately, the list isn't decreasing, but rather growing

- why so many forget the 'journey' once they cross the line of the 'have nots' to the 'haves' 

- why we find it so much easier to criticize than praise

- why red grapes get squishy so quickly

- why you didn't buy a new bed sooner 

the list could go on of all the things i'm not sure about, but these are the ones that seem to captivate my mind as of late.  but there are a few things i am sure about and those are the more important ones: the ones that captivate my heart. 

I am sure:

+ that i love that sweet girl, ivy, in the picture above. her demeanor and spirit are life changing

+ that hope remains no matter how long the journey gets. 

+ that God will always take my darkest days and make them His greatest glory. i can't wait for it! 

+ that my husband is patient and kind, and my favorite person on this earth. 

+ that i have boundary opportunities that i still need to 'tweak' and make right with my soul

+ that when i spend a few minutes every single day meditating, in prayer, i am a much more peaceful person

+ that i have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a tortoise and some fish that i get to love on every single day

+ that i really have it pretty great...and when i'm thankful, life is just much more grande. 

what are you sure about these days?
