currently - August 2014
tending to my plants that are somehow still thriving
planning lessons
eating olives and berries (not together)
racing to finish this sweater before school starts
opening this book with the goal of making time to read during the school year
snapping photos of the little people in my life
savoring the last days of summer freedom and sunshine
enjoying my clean and quiet house
sipping coffee
choosing to be joyful always and to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5.16-18)

sketching - westward trail view
A few days ago, with the sun streaming down and the chaos of life swirling all around, a friend asked, "Do you want to go sketching?"
I was so grateful for the change of scenery, the warm sun on my back and a creative endeavor to clear my mind. When I found this drawing on my desk I remembered the moment and I realized how important it is to have creative outlets. If our lives are busy, we must schedule in time to let our creative spirits soar. We must choose creativity.
How will you stretch your creative muscles?

Slice of Life 2013 - Burgers and Buddies
I didn't mean to stay so late at work, but the work needed doing and the time seemed right. Unfortunately that meant no energy or motivation remained to think about, let alone make, dinner. I offered to pick something up, but he insisted on going out to eat. Not one to argue, I swung by the house and without much deliberation, we headed out.
As we entered the diner I thought to myself, "That couple looks so familiar..." and they seemed to be thinking to same about us. And suddenly, our evening plans needed no planning, because there stood our good friends who we'd been trying to get together with for a months. They'd driven around looking for a place to eat and ended up rather suddenly at the same diner as us. And with that, a day which began as stressful and disheartening ended with an impromptu date-night with friends.
Answer drove home S said, "That was fun." I felt my heart sigh happily and I smiled back in agreement, speechless at the way God gives us what we need long before we even recognize our need.
