My Head Is as Messy as My House...

Mike is reading to the big kids. He is reading The Two Towers. A minute ago, Christian busted out laughing. It makes me happy that these kids get Tolkien's humor. 

My house looks like an Elf on the Shelf convention took place here; a great number of naughty elves have made their mark. Yes, let's blame it on the elves. 

Someone left a comment on Mindee's blog regarding the Elf on the Shelf. She said,"If someone is going to be posing an elf doll around my house, it had better look like Legolas from Lord of the Rings." This made me laugh right out loud. 

I thought about doing a post about my laundry (I know you're disappointed that I changed my mind), and it was going to be like Let's Make a Deal. "What's behind Door Number One?" [Picture of what's behind door number one-a huge pile of laundry, and I mean huge, like enough to fill our bathtub.] "What's behind Door Number Two?" [Picture of what's behind door number two-four huge piles of laundry, actually in the laundry room.] Do you even want to know what's behind door number three? Or four? Or five? (Hint: It's not a goat, nor is it a car.)

I'll be doing laundry tomorrow, by the way. 

Reordered Love, Reordered Lives is very good. I highly recommend it. I'm not even close to being done, but it's already one of my favorite books ever. (Maybe part of the "reordered lives" includes the laundry situation?)

And just because...

There's more random where that came from, but I'll spare you for now.

K - catching up on your posts today and what I want to say to all of them is basically the same, so here goes.

What I pray for you in 2013 and beyond is that you see yourself as God sees you. You are his heart and his treasure. He made you exactly the way he wants you to be. If you're messy and disorganized it's because of the the list of traits he has gifted you with to make a difference in this world don't have those at the top. Why do you think that is?

But he has gifted you - richly.

If you cry easily, it must be said that you celebrate easily too. Clearly God made you to feel things deeply. There is a reason for that. What do you think it could be?

I don't know the answer to those questions but I bet if you'd explore why God made you the way your ARE instead of the way you AREN'T you'd find that you come in a pretty cool package and that there's an excellent reason for it.

You are amazing Christina. You are a work of art. You are a masterpiece made by The King.

Embrace that, enjoy that and for Pete's sake - QUIT DOGGING ON GOD'S WORK!

Love you!
