Carrying A Lot, But Not Alone

This week wraps up my 8th and final Book Fair as the Scholastic chairperson at my daughter’s school. What an honor it has been to serve in this way!

Piper will be moving up to middle school next year and little Laney will be starting Kindergarten. You can likely imagine all the feels I’m feeling right now. The end of this school year and the start the next one will be quite the transition for us all. Next week is Laney’s preschool graduation and the following week is Piper’s send-off to middle school.

This weekend, we will be honoring my grandma’s memory with all the services that go with her funeral. I get to read scripture and share a bit about her impact on my life. God give me strength.

On Monday, my sister’s (3) kids arrive and will be with my mom and I for the next 7 weeks while my sister works in Missouri and my brother-in-law is stationed in Turkey. We’re in for a lot of fun and exhausting days ahead!

My house is feeling neglected because all that has been happening. My mind is feeling scattered and fuzzy. My heart is heavy with a mix of grief and gratitude. 

I’m carrying a lot, but not carrying it alone.
