and yet, I am not feeling it lately... when I get the actual chance to sit and write, nothing comes. When I feel witty and free enough to write, I either don't have the computer or the kids are on it.
I guess facebook will have to do for now... maybe I will find my way back to you...
I do have some seemingly exciting news, however... two pieces of it!
It really, truly looks like this will be our last summer in Texas. No, really. We are aiming for August to leave and head for Sioux Falls, South Dakota to plant a church - a vision that has been nearly 9 years in the making. And for that to happen, a LOT of things have to fall into place.
the second piece of news is that after a couple years of asking, waiting, nearly begging, I may indeed get to have a weekend (Friday evening to Sunday morning) to myself!! It is going to be my birthday present from my wonderful fam. I just want to hole up, spend a realllly goood time with the Lord, ( a "REAL" quiet time that isn't interrupted) rest, sleep, pray, relax, not hear "moooommmmy!!!" for nearly 40 hours... it sounds like heaven. I was telling a friend about it and a lady listening in said that she had a day like that once and just got bored. I told her, "I'm willing to take that risk!" Bored sounds good... and really being anxious to see my family sounds wonderful, too... ya know?? I LOVE them to pieces, wouldn't change anything (much) about our lives, but I just need, really need some time by myself... to just BE myself.
Bring on the boredom!
