Sunday.
The day I attend Church.
To cleanse.
To enlighten my heart and mind with ideas that are bigger than ME.
Lofty goal.....
Especially when it ends with a throw down between my two female off-spring that would give the WWF a run for its overpaid, over hyped money!
Here is the reality of my day of rest. The text read: "...You better tell your favorite daughter to back off or I will jump her right here right now and rip her hair out and stuff it in her mouth....."
Wooohooo ---- that was so full of Jesus wasn't it?
Thirteen and near 16 years old often mix like oil and water. You can take them places together ---- and often watch the fireworks ignite.
The younger sister thinks the older sister is the favorite. The older sister believes the younger one is because in her mind ---- baby girl gets away with everything.

(not true)
Mother gets drawn into the fight and 16 year old gets mad at her!!!!!! What???
I spent over two hours sorting through the emotional mind field of my girls. Both cried. But only one called UNCLE. The sender of that ominous text asked for forgiveness. Receiver allowed herself to be hugged but didn't want to reciprocate. Ughh!
Mother considered running away!
When I was pregnant all those moons ago, rubbing my over-inflated belly, I imagined what they would look like and sound like.
Dark hair?
Blue, green or brown eyes?
Would they be artistic?
I really had no idea there would be days like this. Sure, I had siblings ---- brothers. But somehow in the wonder lust of love, while building a life with the one I CHOSE to create family with ---- I FORGOT!!!
I often remind my girls that God intentionally put them in a family ---together! This didn't happen by accident but with design and with intent!
There are moments though --- when I wonder if God's intent was to drive me to the funny farm!
Monday.
Week begins at a rapid pace.
Jaelyn walks down the stairs to retrieve book-bag.
Mother hears her say, "bye Gregg, love you .... love you, Savannah."
Mother waits.....
