Istanbul? Athens? Budapest? Yes ma’am!

Sometimes “dream squashers” like to call themselves realistic…..I call them annoying. And negative too!

Write a book about Indonesia, or being a mommy and all that you went through to get their. Write about all that you’ve learned from following Christ. You know that famous saying, “All I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten”? Well, your book could be titled, “All I ever needed to know I learned in Christ”…..and speaking of books and this dream of yours and your comment to me a few days back….I would LOVE to write a book! I’ve talked about it for years. It’s just not my life or my timing, so I do what I do until He tells me otherwise.

Knocking out that wall sounds like a fantastical idea!!! When both our kids were finally gone, the bedroom downstairs (we have a tri-level house, so downstairs is like garden level) was empty and not being used. Its one wall was on the other side of our family room and I told my husband in typical me fashion, “I want to knock a big whole in that wall and put in french doors.” So, we did! I love, love, LOVE doing crazy stuff like that! And I hope I get to read and see pics of all you get to do. Once you’re not waiting anymore.

I’ve never heard of those compassion trips before. I’m not sure my heart could handle it. Obviously if it was something I felt the Lord telling me to do, He would give me the strength. I can’t watch anyone cry and not cry along with them. I was watching a program on CNN last night on the tornadoes in Alabama and Missouri, one lady in Alabama is living in a tent, for a month now. She’s still in shock and as I sat in the comfort of my own home with all my “posessions” around me, I felt shock right along with her. And I told my husband, “I’ve never had a bad day in my life!” In comparison to what these people are facing, I’ve had it easy!

Living for Christ, I would presume is a lifelong pursuit. God sees you Mel as complete in Christ, until the day of His return we will all be on that pursuit in one way or another. I think I’d like to trust a little more. I’m always waiting for the other “shoe” to drop. Somewhat expecting Him to let me down because I wasn’t what I should have been. Oh and I dream of getting over myself too!

This was similar to a bucket list post….still loving that idea, but really enjoyed this!

Oh and your poop story from earlier in the week. Made me laugh!

Have a wonderful Sunday!
