Mi Querida Familia: Dancin' in the Minefields

February 19, 2011

Dancin' in the Minefields

After a long frustrating afternoon and evening, involving way too much whining, warning, and WAY too much poop... After a day when I didn't feel as powerful or as productive or as positive as I'd like... After a day when I felt like quitting...

This reminded me why I'm doing it.

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, "I'll try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher

Baby, this song is for you. Here's to growin' really wrinkly together. I love you. I promise.

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
