We will be hitting I-10 and heading west tomorrow….
me and the ladies of our burgeoning church.
With bug spray (hello, mosquitoes), and Bibles in hand – we are heading away for some concentrated time in the Word…..and some relational time with godly women.
And this is good.
And needed.
Because it’s been a while since this Mama has slipped away from the nest.
With trips to the grocery store being my only real escape over the summer – an overnight away is overdue.
Sometimes you have to withdraw for a moment, ya know? Not long – just enough to catch your breath and receive a filling.
So after these few days of freedom – I’m trusting that I’ll return to my nestlings fresh and ready.
A twenty month old just moseyed in with a sippy cup of milk – wanting his Mama to read him an animal book…..
And the ingredients for pancakes are currently spread over the top of my kitchen island…..
And the park is on our agenda today…..
After school gets done, of course.
And so the day will go….
Full and packed tight – all carried out by a Mama who is grinning giddy about a short weekend escape.
Oh, here’s to hoping that Daddy-Daycare runs smoothly over the next several days.
Lord, help him 🙂
Kate,
I've been reading some of your archived blogs for the past few days. After spending the weekend with you, I wanted to know you even better — and reading your blog can help me do that.
Your blogs give me such a peaceful feeling — no matter what you write about, I feel a warmth in my heart. I think a lot has to do with your style of writing — which is exactly like your style in person. Your are humble, kind, generous, loving and wise — and real. You are a blessing to everyone that meets you. I am so glad that our paths have crossed and I look forward to spending more time with you and Derek. Thank you for taking the time from your very busy schedule to write this blog — it is truly a blessing to me.
