It's actually quite strange that prior to this week I'd never really given a lot of thought about how I "take" my coffee. Most people I know "take" their coffee a very specific way, and with good reason, I'm sure. I, on the otherhand, am as random as it gets. I will drink my cofee black, just with cream, with cream and sugar (always varying amounts), just with sugar or sometimes the occasional splenda! It truly doesn't matter to me. I just need my coffee.
I got to wondering though, if how we "take" our coffee can say a lot about who we are? Seeing as how my coffee tastes vary so much, does that mean my life is as chaotic as my coffee?
(Thinking...) Yes. It does.
I recently joined a small group Bible study with a couple of my closest girlfriends (shout out to Andrea and Elisabeth!) We're beginning to read "What Every Mom Needs" by Elisa Morgan & Carol Kuykendall. I have to tell you that I am outwardly excited to get this study going! The first chapter focuses on your IDENTITY! Ahh, Identity, that tiny thing I seemed to have lost once Marin was born. Well, maybe not lost, but misplaced somewhere in my new world of mommyhood/wifehood/workhood/familyhood/pet ownerhood/churchhood/youth grouphood/theatrehood/friendhood/bills-hood/schoolhood and all the other "hoods" that remain in my life, but are not listed. Regardless of which "hood" I'm refering to, they all fall under my chaotic coffeehood umbrella.
Right now life seems like one big stir. And like stirring coffee, all of my assumed priorities and responsibilities are in that mess of adding sugar, creamer or having it plain as black. The decisions are endless.
My point (and I'll make this short) is that my life is probably right where it's supposed to be. God only gives us so much and I'm certain that one pot (sugar or not) is enough for any new mom to sort through.

Life. So sweet...
