"And He said to them, 'Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest for a while.' For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat." Mark 6:31
Likewise, Psalm 23 gives us a beautiful image of God leading us to a restful place. The imagry in the passage alone makes you want to get a cool tall glass of lemonade and start chillaxing in a hammock with the sun streaming down on you. Hmmmm....
Life has been busy, but joyfully busy.
Last week I attended a very nice Younglife Banquet to celebrate and raise funds for Montgomery County Younglife. There were a few sudden surprises thrown my way, but it turned out to be a great evening, reconnecting with friends across the county who support the ministry, and being part of something I believe in so much. Younglife has, is, and will continue to change lives, and I am blessed to be a part of it. Not only that but I got to hang out with some of my kid's parents, and I got a graduation gift for the baby sister, Rock Climbing for me and the boy, and a 1.5 hour date with a massage therepist around the corner from my house. Mhmmmm.... Lovin it.
Friday was my day. That was the day I shut down. Cancelled my plans. I picked up sushi, and watched the Flyers v. Penguins game with my roommate. I did not even make it to the third period of the game because I went to bed around 9:30. It was glorious.
After a much needed 10 hours of sleep, I trudged out of bed for some breakfast with some wonderful women from my chuch (and an adorable little man who joined us!). Then I spent most of the rest of the day cleaning out and organizing the storage room. It was tedious, messy, and frustrating at times, but at the same time there is so much peace that comes from cleaning up and clearing out space - I loved it. I went to softball practice and then to Kev's parent's house for some out of town family, working on a car, and dinner.
Yesterday I started the Daniel fast, and that was pretty much the biggest accomplishment of my day. It was quite a low-key weekend, and it was so wonderful to have a low-key weekend after all the business and craziness lately! Now, I just need to make it through this wonderful week with pedicures, weeding, Younglife Club, and then Charlottesville for a friend's wedding this weekend! Whooop!
