Beauty in Chaos

I am currently in a very zen state right now. My oldest son is in his crib screaming at the TOP of his lungs like a pterodactyl and my youngest is trying to sleep at the other end of the house (granted, I have a very small house) but every time he hears this screeching he erupts into a tirade of tears. Which is what I feel like doing at the moment. Or banging my head against the wall. Which would probably lead to tears so I guess I'll save myself some pain and just cry. I am trying hard to glean some glimmer of wisdom from this situation; how can I look at this from a heavenly perspective? *Eye twitch*....still lots of crying..
This too shall pass.
I know this insanity won't last forever.
This is how I should be looking at my life. The hard parts don't last forever, and they teach us things that greatly enrich our lives. However, the easy parts don't last forever either. Heck, life in general doesn't last forever (I'm speaking about the physical, here on earth part of life) I have been made so much more aware of the passing of time since the birth of my second child. I am turning 25 this year. My husband is quickly reaching the end of his medical training and we will be sent out into the world as the next generation of young professional adults with children. All of these landmark events seemed so long in coming and now life is simply flying by leaving me to wonder if I was awake for half of it. So good, bad, or ugly ( yes, I was watching the Clint Eastwood marathon on AMC yesterday), life is simply marching on and what we learn from it and do with our time is up to us. I have learned that the difficult parts of life are not necessarily bad, and the easy parts of life are not necessarily good. Emotions, circumstances, loss, and gain- we are in a constant state of fluctuation  which can definitely feel like chaos. The beauty in this chaos is Christ, and the ways in which He is constantly transforming our lives if we allow Him to, which in turn spreads his peace to those around us. And I finish this blog to the sounds of silence. That didn't take long. :)
