togetherness

I'd been walking around, aimlessly, waiting for the babysitter to come so Adam and I could have some time together. He was in the library drawing and the girls were scattered throughout the house. I gave up my wondering and found myself in the library with Adam talking while he busied away at his art. It seems whenever Adam and I are together the girls soon follow and such was the case yesterday evening.

Bella came in and busied herself with her ghost story. She started writing it after school and said it was going to be her summer project. Tess pulled out her watercolors and began to paint. Megan sat down and looked through the photo book I had made of all of us.



As I sat there watching the room fill up with girls so did the happiness inside it. Among the mundane moments (laundry, cleaning, etc.) that make up parts of my life there have been days of uncertainty to my purpose. What is it that I'm meant to do? In this moment the answer was crystal clear, the feeling palpable...

This is my purpose.
They are my purpose.
And all was well.
