Bees!!

I have shared before that I named my blog after the Sanctus Real song "Whatever You're Doing". It has the line, "Whatever you're doing inside of me it feels like chaos but I believe you're up to something bigger than me." As life does feel like chaos I am so thankful that God is up to something bigger than me, and bigger than my family. And that even within the everyday chaos I feel, He is working. And I know that sometimes God does His best work in the chaos, but still . . .

This is some chaos I could have lived without!
BEES! More bees than I have ever seen in my entire life hanging in one gigantic busy bee swarm off the SIDE OF MY ROOF!

What would you think if you looked out your 2nd story window one Sunday morning and saw this?

I am too tired to share the whole story tonight, but stay tuned for tomorrow's post filled with our adventures over the last week and a half since noticing this bee swarm -- 1. bee internet research, 2. multiple calls to bee experts, 3. waiting a couple days for the bees to "move on" as the experts said they would 4. bees don't "move on" 5. bees in the attic, 6. bee keepers, 7. kids extremely excited about bee keepers 8. bee suits, 9. our family's front row window seat to THE BEE REMOVAL! 10. angry bees flying everywhere, hitting the window, coating the bee keeper's suit 11. large quantities of honeycomb being pulled from the wood trim around our roofline, 12. honey dripping from under our roof, 13. Popcorn (oh yes, popcorn fits in to this madness!)

This is our real life! I wish I were making it up!!
