I’m back!
Last week, I’ve been cleaning up, organizing and getting ready to host tons of family for the next week. I’ve been painting, and playing with the kids, and fixing up holes in the walls (don’t ask) and touching up paint. I love doing that. Having fresh clean walls feels so gratifying.
Just a little FYI - I freaked on Monday, thinking I was totally messing up with all of this home school stuff, and I should just send the kids off to school, because I was missing the mark. My girlfriend calmed me down, and then showed me her second graders school work form the local public school. I calmed down. She joked with me and said I was just having a day. She was right. So I put a plan in place to just relax…thus the reason for no blogging.
Gracious, sometimes I think too much and I need to just go play. I went for some long runs and had Jackson ride his bike along side me. Talk about fun. He just talked and talked the whole way. I got to see a little bit of him that I don’t normally see. I felt like God gave me a million bucks in that one little bike ride. It is going to be our weekly date night:-) He said “Mom you don’t go very fast!” I said, “I am not supposed to go fast I am supposed to go far.” Wow that’s a metaphor.
So, now let’s see where we go this week. I am not going fast, but I am going to go far:-)
Peace to all those who need to remember to go and play!~
good to see you back.
remind me why i don’t live next door to you again?
oh yeah that’s right.
different states, different lives…
same God, though. =)
same love and peace and joy.

What an awesome metaphor for sure. I think I may steal (use)it, if you don’t mind! Glad your back.

Thanks you two.
Lora, I miss you too. I saw your photo stream with Zeek. Beautiful.
Christine, use the quote as often as you want, I think I ripped it off of Paul first:-)
