God gave me a little gift tonight.
Thunder.
Oh, I do love a good thunderstorm.
So I’m curling up on the couch under a blanket and having a little chat with you all before I hit the hay way too late.
Again.
God has been impressing on my heart the word obsession lately, and it’s challenged me to think through the things I obsess over and whether they are worthwhile. That will probably be a blog post for another day…but let’s just say that
it’s making me re-evaluate my idea of balancing things.
I made a small-world connection last week at Firefly with a guy who is shooting a movie, and he wanted to use the exterior of our house for a few scenes. He shot a couple of them today, and it was cool to kind of see what goes on with something like that.
In chatting with him after that, I found out that he graduated from college with one of my good friends that I taught in Indonesia with.
Small world just became microscopic.
Goodness, connections are funny things, huh?
Sundays just make me really happy.
I love going to our church…and while no service is perfect with a 16 month-old, I always leave feeling challenged and encouraged.
This Sunday made me even happier because after Mae was down for her afternoon nap, I wrote my Patch article and took a nap myself.
It was wonderful, and I fell into such a deep sleep that I had a very hard time waking up.
I had the sudden realization today that next month is November, and I’m not sure what to do with that.
I suppose I should look on the bright side and realize that I can decorate for Christmas…I really love putting up the tree and decorations.
And…ahem…eating the cookies.
😉
The thunder is still going strong outside, and I’m tempted to keep writing, but I know I need to crash if I’ m going to get up for a run in the
morning.
I’m hoping it will continue for a bit longer because, in my opinion, there’s nothing better th an f
alling asleep during a thunderstorm.
I wish they could happen every day.
I hate thunderstorms when the kids have just gone to bed though. At least Tim didn’t wake up for once.
Yeah, I’m hoping Mae will keep sleeping through those thunderstorms…we’ll see.
