If you didn't read yesterday's post, I am attempting to integrate a new habit during my youngest son's naptime in an effort to focus my freedom. I'm going to try it for a week- if it turns out it adds stress, I'm dropping it, but I invite you to give it a try with me.
Naptime challenge for today?
(1) Leave your child's room - ignore the mess and the lists and find your ipod or computer or whatever plays music around your house.
(2) Find a wide open space and your favorite song.
(3) Turn it up as loud as you can without waking the kiddo(s).
(4) Then, my friends, DANCE IT OUT.
Seriously, dance like you used to when your husband wasn't home and you had the house to yourself with no kids and the sun was shining and you could do any move you wanted without anyone pulling on you or interrupting you or requesting a different song.
Dance it out.
The Ardennes: the forest surrounding Bastogne, Belgium and a critical battle location during World War II, wherein the endurance, perseverance, trust and sheer stubbornness of the Allies defeated a seemingly unbeatable enemy. For me, an allegory for the Christian life.
