I should be sleeping...but I can't sleep. I have so much going on in my mind; I thought writing would help calm things down.
I have no topic of interest just some thoughts...
Why is the kitchen always a mess? And on a similar note...why is the clothes hamper always full?
Why is there always traffic when you are in a hurry and a strong tail wind when you don't want to get home?
Why are things worth doing difficult? For example, being married and being a mother...two hard things to do but very worth doing.
Why am I so anxious to get my single friends married? Is it any of my business? Should I even be trusted with someone else's life like that? I have my hands full!!
I think happily married means something a lot more than we ever thought it meant. I'm not sure what it means exactly...but I think it means something significant. Maybe happily ever after means something different then we thought too.
How do you know if you're doing it right. By "it" I mean being a mom. Do you really have to wait until your kids are grown to find out if you were a good enough mom? I'd really like to know if I'm doing it right now?
Why does God never give up on us? Why does He not throw His hands up in frustration and say, "That's it!! I give up!! You've used up all of your chances and I can't do anything with you!!"
....I'm so thankful that He doesn't give up, because I'm sure I'm way out of chances.
These are the questions that are keeping me awake this night.

About Me
- Jenn
- United States
- At the age of 5 I received my first diary. It was a snoopy diary with a lock and key. The key was soon lost and the lock broken open, but I filled the diary with what I thought was pertinent information of the time. My very first entry was: "We had fun today we played a game." Thus began my long journey into writing about very interesting things. Today, I still have this burning need to write. To express the mundane in a way that others can say..."Oh yeah, that's so true." Many who know me are already rolling their eyes at the mention of my journals. Yes, you are probably included somewhere in my rants. Now, thanks to this new venture you will never wonder where you stand.I am a mother to 3 girls trying to do the job of mother well. I am wife to a musician, and trying to find my place in his life. I am the proud owner to a golden retriever Faith, and so thankful to have a dog that doesn't jump fences. I love to laugh and make others laugh. Most of all I acknowledge my mere existence is truly a gift and proof of the grace of God.

Wow. This is some heavy thinking. Was this the night before you had bad dreams of jrs? I wanted to ask you if you ate anything unusual that night. But then, maybe it was this blogging. After getting all of these heavy thoughts out of the way, the next heavy thought subconciously bothering you seaped out into your dreams...not really calming things down.
Thank you, though, for the deeps thoughts. They got us all thinking...and thanking...
You remind me of Thomas Sowell's "Random thoughts on the passing scene". Pretty fast company; keep it up.
...the sun rises and the sun sets; and hastening to its place, it rises there again. Blowing toward the south, then turning toward the north, the wind continues swirling along; and on its circular courses the wind returns.... What has been will be and what has been done will be done.... brch hshm
