Add 5 years and stir

I posted a comment on a friend's blog tonight and one way or another discovered my own long lost blog, a city deserted after all. I chose that name out of Isaiah 62:12 - "They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted." I remember the day I first read that passage and had the sense that God was pointing it out. I had the impression that City No Longer Deserted was me, was the new name he was giving me. I so wanted that. I wanted to be sought after in every sense - by God, by my boyfriend, by my friends and coworkers... And now it is half a decade later and I am trying write this one silly short paragraph while my son calls me incessantly from the bathtub. "oh MOOOM! I NEED YOU!" Being a mom is the definition of sought after, I am learning. And it is a wonderful and difficult blessing that I struggle with receiving and enjoying as such. If I have a chance, I'd like to write about it. Maybe here. But not just now, I have a 3 year old in the bath who NEEEEEEEEEDS me.
