The List Maker

I am a list maker. That's what I do to keep myself sane. I have lists for just about everything from what I'm going to cook, to what I'm going to wear, to the things I need to do.

I've always thought Santa with his lists of naughty and nice was a smart guy!

Because we are leaving for Africa in 3 weeks, I have about 7 lists (related to the trip) going.

I have a list of things I need to buy for the trip.

I have a list of things I need to pack for the trip.

I have a list of things I need to do for work before we leave.

I have a list of things I need to do for church before we leave.

I have a list of things I need to do for home before we leave.

I have a list of where things that are on the "to pack" list are located.

I have a list of lists that need to be double-checked.

Ugh.... this is an illness.

The Passionate Playwrite

I am a 30-something gal living a blessed life in the Midwest. The hubs (Chris) and I are passionate about life and love and living for the Lord. After a 6 year battle with PCOS and infertility, I finally landed my dream job as a stay at home mom to my daughter, Brianna (born February 18, 2010), my son, Brenson (born February 10, 2012), and my twin girls, Brooke & Brecklyn (born February 3, 2015). My road to parenthood was littered with anticipation, plagued with disappointed, and tainted by loss, but through it all God is my anchor. He has shown me what it means to trust Him, and He has taught me how He is faithful. In my pre-baby life, I had a career in higher education, reserved plenty of time for my favorite creative outlet (scrapbooking), and never had to purchase a book from the library because it was covered in spit-up. Things have certainly changed, but I am soaking up this season as I learn what being a mom is all about. I am living my life with purpose and striving to be the woman God wants me to be. This is the story of my life.
