I'm not good at writing like she is, not even close. But she inspired me and maybe there is some mom sitting at home in her bathrobe like me right now needing a bit of inspiration too, so here's the first rain in my own blogging drought.<div><br /></div><div>You know what carves out your soul like nothing else? Waiting. I don't think I am totally out for lunch here when I say that many of our generation had different expectations for what life would be bringing us at this point in our lives. Over the last 3 months I've had a dear friends lose homes, jobs - good secure ones, and perhaps a bit of hope. Over the past year and a half we've been on a pretty intense waiting journey ourselves - first for a new job, our big break, big change. But that wasn't the plan. Expectations changed - hope shattered. Time passed. The kaleidoscope shifted and we were on a whole new waiting journey - waiting and working for a new business to pick up, for a new life in a new place to pick up.</div><div><br /></div><div>But there are other things we wait for too. Things that I can't share, that I can't fix, that I can't believe are part of my life. And so I wait, hoping against hope that someday these too will make sense.</div><div><br /></div><div>I used to believe that if I believe, work, pray and hope that miracles will happen significantly close to my personal time frame. Or at least by the time I really needed them. But I've learned that my Savior needs me broken before he can really heal me, before his answers, his help is REAL. He's taken me beyond, so far beyond, what I thought my breaking point was. He's broken me and held me with his hope as I've cried.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I hold onto hope, hope that somehow, someday all the breaking and waiting and working will reveal a version of myself that the Lord will be proud of, a version that will be ready to meet Him when he comes. </div>Sunshine Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262860919944444215noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819349743086181195.post-11373013831171935872011-02-28T19:52:00.000-08:002011-02-28T19:55:22.690-08:00And the winners are...Janae, Holly G, Sarah D, and Michelle S.,<div><br /></div><div>Winners please contact me to arrange ticket pick-up and ENJOY the show!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>(Thanks to Feld Entertainment for the free tickets!)</div>Sunshine Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262860919944444215noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819349743086181195.post-39330431586916271882011-02-14T10:07:00.000-08:002011-02-14T10:19:08.071-08:00Disney on Ice -- Free Tickets!<div style="text-align: center;">I will be giving away 4 family 4packs between now and the end of this month.

But here I am, about to pour my heart out to a web page that I'm not sure anyone really visits anymore. But to those of you listening, wondering why the disappearance, here I go. <div><br /></div><div>For three months we've waited for the news about a possible job in Utah. The idea of moving home was startling at first, something we've wondered about since we came here almost 5 years ago. (Something I've day dreamed of during those tender months after the birth of my babies, or during a million other tender times.) The interview went well and we were told we would have answer in a week...which turned into a few weeks...which turned into 3 months. </div><div><br /></div><div>3 MONTHS of thinking that your whole life is about to change any day.</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally at the beginning of January we got the call we had been waiting for. We got the job. Salary and moving expenses were all negotiated. They told us the official offer letter would be coming in the morning. And so we celebrated. We were going home. </div><div><br /></div><div>But the letter didn't come the next day, or the next week. And after 2 more weeks of waiting the phone call we had not been waiting for came. They gave the job away to someone else.</div><div><br /></div><div>Crushed. Shocked. Confused. So very sad. </div><div><br /></div><div>We went to the Lord, pled for understanding. Instead we got peace. Pled for help in surviving the fact that nothing was changing, no one was going home.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It has been a personal purifying journey. I don't think it's over. I don't feel like this story has resolution, or an ending, or that it even makes any sense to my heart. But I know a couple of things. And this is why I came out of my cave today to blog.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I know... that Heaven speaks to us. That there can be communication as real as anything tangible. That He speaks to me and doesn't lie.</div><div><br /></div><div>I know... that there is only 1 way out of pain, and that is not anger, it is trust.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also know... that if and when I fall, the Lord sends angels to catch me, always.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Sunshine Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262860919944444215noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819349743086181195.post-15481217888351019922009-12-01T14:19:00.000-08:002009-12-01T16:25:05.699-08:00Little Girls<div style="text-align: center;">They have captured our hearts,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Softened our edges,</div><div style="text-align: center;">and </div><div style="text-align: center;">taught us about Heaven</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkgy3XSF-mtiXjo4ShRBr4kVoK4xs0_GIlzV_5E_qZB2xxsjkXQxniLI_m6-gMY4LtoFJ847tJZ2itHto7cJEbVRKyT3vgF6JtIhjTIQ8iGE8kyNN2zYXDRDEn1jrRVzcT_wyJfNTJIxe/s1600/Picture+460.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It was horrible.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">4 years ago I sat alone in our newly-wed apartment waiting for the time when I would drive to Salt Lake and pick up my husband from the airport. He was coming back from a job interview in California, a job interview I hoped would not go so well. I even prayed the entire way to the airport that when the plane touched down he would feel that this was home, this was sanctuary, this was the place we were meant to be. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But that was NOT what he felt, at all.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And so I spent the next week in tears, not wanting to know... dreading asking the Lord for an answer about California. I remember one morning on our couch, reading my scriptures, finally feeling brave enough to find out. I remember the feeling, gentle and sure. I remember that day in church and the powerful messages directed to me. and I will never forget the peace of confirmation that came when I let go of my own agenda and wanted what God wanted. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I knew in my heart that the Lord knew best, that He knew me, that leaving my home, family, life, etc., was all part of a plan for my happiness.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But that journey to happiness was often filled with deep trenches of sadness, loneliness, and aching. Trenches that carved out greater space in my heart for happiness.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And it was also filled with lots of visits from family. Because although the Lord led us away to California, He led us to the beach, literally, and that can't help but bring visitors our way. I wouldn't change the piles of dirty towels and sheets, the sand stuck in every cranny of this place all summer. Because it reminds me that family and love reach beyond distance and state lines. Each visit reminds me that what we have is FOREVER, is real.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And although I sat last night dreaming somehow of a way back to Utah, once again, I can't help realize how each relationship with my family is greater, more treasured, than before. I mean, who would have imagined that just watching my brother drive away would bring big tears to my eyes, or make me long to be his neighbor.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Come back everyone, come back until we come home.<img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSvHfq8Qf8ey1NU5GwJWyhhoxJFP9SDw_noLMte-BHSVX5yNtgylWEGDu5ZZTvZqhSCMbw0C5Y9XdmWJVLqlsK5VoGMYf0VNAxg1uw3zlKDoJarrNQZuElWK3FzqxTKM7PfWOemll0_HIX/s400/IMG_5114.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386530431389881282" /></div></div>Sunshine Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262860919944444215noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819349743086181195.post-87719383120502446862009-09-14T17:15:00.000-07:002009-09-14T17:42:27.641-07:00Major Moments<div style="text-align: center;">2 major moments in Leah's life occurred this week:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>1st</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Leah went to nursery and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;">stayed</span> in nursery</div><div style="text-align: center;">all by herself</div><div style="text-align: center;">the whole time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHegN0n1n1FKCEgxZmgS3drhuzUp-52o5JeXo7h16gOzzvE8ziVpvjCCM_OU1i0jp6qdbEwaQMUvohgI52T1HXhIlBl5jMafCXc59d5zFTZiHpCFFMu7RqRdEdwpKx04aaReS-k89oNrSN/s1600-h/Sunday+Dress.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHegN0n1n1FKCEgxZmgS3drhuzUp-52o5JeXo7h16gOzzvE8ziVpvjCCM_OU1i0jp6qdbEwaQMUvohgI52T1HXhIlBl5jMafCXc59d5zFTZiHpCFFMu7RqRdEdwpKx04aaReS-k89oNrSN/s400/Sunday+Dress.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381481707661003954" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">(I made that dress!!)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">and <b>2nd<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; ">:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">She got her first <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;">dress-up!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZhuLSgWaB47smTiMmpxUk8HwVEYKph0_FF2RkxWBCGkxx8GlZHNI992QcKm_6ZBrewVUe0yVDurDy_5MSXaY5DDUXXKJoMKfxzsGVo1q3yTlqg7QeR8nfyNPxbz7f0DgLvOfxv1ZWvvIe/s1600-h/cinderella+dress.JPG"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZhuLSgWaB47smTiMmpxUk8HwVEYKph0_FF2RkxWBCGkxx8GlZHNI992QcKm_6ZBrewVUe0yVDurDy_5MSXaY5DDUXXKJoMKfxzsGVo1q3yTlqg7QeR8nfyNPxbz7f0DgLvOfxv1ZWvvIe/s1600-h/cinderella+dress.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZhuLSgWaB47smTiMmpxUk8HwVEYKph0_FF2RkxWBCGkxx8GlZHNI992QcKm_6ZBrewVUe0yVDurDy_5MSXaY5DDUXXKJoMKfxzsGVo1q3yTlqg7QeR8nfyNPxbz7f0DgLvOfxv1ZWvvIe/s400/cinderella+dress.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381481695578782962" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I know Halloween is still much more than a month away, but I couldn't help it! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a day like any other day, just cruising an outdoor mall with a friend when we innocently stumbled into a toy store.
