winds from the east

i was counting the days before Marry Poppins arrived.

 I was feeling desperate. Fussy babe, no sleep, lots of pacing..along with two other girls was doing me in.

 i felt like the ship was sinking.

 And then Lauren- Aunt Poo arrives. She comes with joy, peace and completely willing and ready to serve and it blows me away.

 cause she does my dishes and she loves on my babies and she fold clothes and cleans up. she does things i ask and she does so many things i don't ask. She makes the house sparkle and the girl's giggle.  She seems to be waving a wand and we are all relieved and happy that she is here to help this adjustment. this mama.

  She is so creative and funny that she brings laughter, song and dance with her.

 She is so bold and fiery that she pushes you to want more from Jesus.

 She is so easy and fun that the girls don't even flinch when i walk out the door.

 we all wait for her to walk into the door each day and are met with a healthy, free, loving woman who is just ready to pour out.

  What a blessing Lauren, Aunt poo was to this family . Nothing like it, no one like her.
