For example, today we were supposed to begin the garden, which everyone did...except for me. I was confined to the house desperately trying to get my children to sleep during nap time.
I knew it wouldn't be easier here, perhaps even harder, even though there are four other kids.
But I guess sometimes I'd just like a vacation. This is not a vacation. This is not even where I feel like I would choose to be. I find myself feeling awkward a lot of the time, trying to not be just guests, but also not having invested the same amount as all the others here. But this is where we are supposed to be, so I am choosing to trust the Lord and believe Him for meeting all other needs. God is changing so much in my heart already. I am a work in progress. We all are. And I am grateful for this time to set apart concentrated effort on cultivating the garden of my heart. So that my life will bear much fruit and be a beautiful thing to behold.

I was going to say something similar to Izzy! That was very poetic and reflective. This blog will be a great reminder for you when this season has moved on to another. Keep posting!
Dear Mama Eliza
You have a beautiful heart and a life that bears much fruit already (27 years-almost 28)!
I wish that I could help you with the boys, to give you some R&R. They are always so much fun.
