Eating the "eat me" cookie!

Ok... so now that I have wandered through Wonderland, gotten cut going through the Looking Glass,  I am certain somewhere along the way I ate a cookie that says "Eat me" and I have grown, grown, grown.  I feel like Alice with her head poking above the house with her arms and legs sticking out through the window.  The view is fantastic and I still feel a bit stuck but I also know I am no longer trapped.  So now what...
I'm not sure.  I have no idea actually.  But you know... I am not sure I care.  REALLY!!  Suddenly in all this remarkable journey, I have realized... I am who I am... Sam I am.  I am who God made me to be.  In all my awkward moments, in all the ways I stick out at times, shrink down at times, hide at times, boldly speak out at times, nitpick at times.  I am who He made me to be.  Yes, I stink at times too.  Yes I need forgiveness at times too.  But I no longer need to apologize for who I am and who I am made to be.

So what next??... well... I am headed out on another remarkable journey here shortly.  I am headed to France and Italy with my kids and my hubby.  All planned, researched and obsessed about by me.  [No pressure or anything.]  Are we crazy? A little... but this is a dream we have had since before the girls were born.  Nothing like an out of the box experience to lead directly into an out of the box experience.

So get ready to hear about our journey in the next month.  In keeping with my theme... you will hear the bad and the good, the painful and the fun, all mixed together to make incredible travel and learning.  So guess what movie I bought to entertain us as a family... none other than "Alice in Wonderland".  I hear it's a bit scary.  I'm not surprised.
