Look

I was told recently that I was a floor watcher. I could tell you what floors were cleaned and not. I never look up when I walk, I look at the ground. There is much that people miss not looking where they step. Because of issues with my knees and gracefulness, I choose to look at the floor when I am walking. Since I do look where I am going, I usually can find many nails on sidewalks and driveways. I can let the cleaning lady at work know which places that she isn't mopping the best and which places need to be vaccuumed. I know that we are all made differently with different qualities. I have that of telling what is what ground level, where as I miss some things going on around me.
While I was on the walk to the mailbox yesterday finding many treasures that would take tires out, I thought... How much do I miss not looking up when I walk... How much do others miss by not paying any attention to where their feet go.

I do know when life gets difficult, I do know to look up to the Father who can help with everything!
I have had struggles in parenting lately that have me looking UP for sure!
My kids are in a big in between place with church and with friends. Daycare friends have left so they have no one. My son needs and desires close friendships to those that share his same unique deep thoughts. My daughter wants fun but friends that can take her personality. Right now I see both struggling. I am doing my best but we are all looking UP for help...

Where do you look?

Church

Church: A place your parents take you to as a kid. You learn many important things that you fall back to as the adult life gets hard.
Ryan shared exactly what was on my heart a week or so ago. There are times when life gets hard, but bc if your child faith, you know you can always go home. There are times you are in situations you know better to be in bc of knowing God and knowing what's right.
Life's been uncertain lately. I just needed to go back home... home to where I found Jesus.. where I was baptized.. it has been a healing, but also a place where God has been dealing with me.. the closeness I need. Now if only I can add the community of believers that I need.
This song Church (take me back) by Cochren has really caught my attn many times lately. https://youtu.be/3eTOcrWu8mQ
