Becoming

Life is about the journey, it is not about "being, but becoming."

becoming…adj. fit, suitable, congruous, proper, graceful, belonging to the character or adapted to circumstances…

"This life, therefore, is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness; not health, but healing; not being, but becoming; not rest, but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished, but it is going on. This is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified."--- Martin Luther, *Defense of All the Articles*, Lazareth transl., as found in Grace Brame, *Receptive Prayer* (Chalice Press, 1985) p.119(Thank you Bella Art Girl for the quote!)

Taking a Break

My intention had been to keep posting through tomorrow. I have several posts in process and a couple of books that I had wanted to post on...but life has caught up with me this week and things are a bit busier than anticipated. So, I will go with it. I will take what life is giving right now and put some things on hold. I will be on a break from my blog until sometime in July-that is my best guess anyway. I hope to be back at it early in July, but we are saying our goodbyes to M, packing our house here, going on a leisurely drive back home-taking in some sights along the way. Should be fun. I would appreciate your prayers as this is a trying time in ways, but also a good time. God is gracious and He is at work. My parents are here to drive back home with the kids and I. We are looking forward to making some good memories as we make the long drive-this time will be made at a much slower pace than when we drove out here in January. It will be good to see the sights. I can still get email on my phone, so feel free to email and be patient if I don't respond for awhile. =) Things are a little crazy right now.

Crazy for sure. God keeps bringing you to my heart and I keep giving you and your family to him and his peace.
