surprise!

i'm not a very informative writer most of the time. it's mostly likely because i find that i reveal more of myself in an instance where i just sit down and tell you what's going on in my life than when i hide it behind pretty words and line breaks. but i must say, when i found out my parents were in dallas and that i was going to see them for the first time in 5 weeks, i was quite determined to make it an epic experience.

and epic it was. they held me while i worshipped. they loved on me until i couldn't breathe anymore! they told me how wonderful i was and gave me their full attention. they bought me coffee and stroked my hair. and when it was all said and done, they just did what parents do.

after all of this stress and worry and anxiety, the moments where i wanted to curl up in my mother's arms and cry because i felt like my life was one big mess and that martha was winning and i'd never be mary again, the moments where i doubt the work He has done in my life, the moments i feel like giving up...God sent me a miracle in my parents' visit. He knows just what to do to make my days smoother. and they say i need a man. ha! no man could measure up to my Husband. he'll have to be pretty breathtaking to even distract me temporarily.

parents always know just what to do. :)
