Happy Easter and Time Differences

Happy Easter! Praise God! He is Risen!! "Because HE lives I can face tomorrow" God is good. Everyday that I get to share how He has blessed me is a good day. I am a sinner saved by grace and know that I am not worthy but He loves me anyway. He died for me. Think about that for a minute. Jesus died so I could live. This one simple truth is what has brought me such peace when weathering life's storms. I am uniquely and beautifully created in His image to be everything that I am meant to be. Hallelujah!!

So, obviously it's super late and I'm fighting sleep (which is a regular occurrence for me). My schedule stays crazy because I tend to adjust to Chris' "travel" schedule instead of my at "home" schedule.  I plan much of my time around when Chris is supposed to call me. When he is on the road time is so limited for us to have a conversation that I don't want to ever miss his call. However, the last week has been extra weird. Chris and the boys are touring in Australia. There is a 16 hour time difference. To put things in perspective, Chris calls me at 7am every morning and it's 11pm for him. His day is ending as mine is starting. I'm awake when he's asleep and he's awake when I'm asleep. I have one thing to say about this set up!! IT STINKS!! I am thrilled that he is experiencing such a wonderful opportunity and I really hope we can go back together one day. BUT, I feel like I haven't spoken to him in a month. He will be home in a couple of days and the closer that time gets the more impatient I find myself (patience is not something I am very good at either).

Sidenote: In the last couple of weeks I have fallen in love with Justin Timberlake's song "Mirrors." I feel certain that the lyrics are reflective of his new marriage but they make me think of me and Chris. I do miss my sweet boy so much. Is it Tuesday yet?!?

At Last....

Spring is almost here!!! Soon my ultra grumpy Winter demeanor will be totally melted away and I will be fluttering about like Mary Poppins. Everything is starting to bloom and that makes me (in the wise words of Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty) happy, happy, happy!!
