For those who read and enjoyed the lightening post, I found a very cool video and added it to my links. You can actually SEE all of the leaders, and the one that makes the connection! WOW!
I can't even begin to describe really how it feels to have construction finished and things back in place in my home! I need to publically thank Randall, Kurt and Bill for their sacrifice and expertise in this huge project! And to the Davis'...let's just say "I owe you big time" LOL...I won't publish the pics here, but you can see them on my facebook page. I have my futon room back, and I love being drawn to that special place of communication and intimacy with God. Of course I know that prayer can happen anywhere at all, and there is nothing "magical" about my futon, but there is something special about having that one place that is sanctified and set apart with that particular intent...seeking Him until He is found!
I am preparing and saving to journey up to Rhode Island in a few weeks to attend my oldest sister's wedding. For their 25th anniversary of being together, they decided to make it official and get married. It is a 17 hour drive, and while I have not totally given up on finding a cool airfare deal, it looks like driving will be my best option. Turns out that my bestest bud Marianne from Chicago will be there at the same time, dropping off her son for college. So having my car will be beneficial in getting around where I need to be.
I have requested that mid-September be my final time of being on a set schedule at the bookstore. That means that the weekends will be mine...I have never ever had a job that did not require Saturday commitments and I really really like the idea! Of course, I will still be around to help out with certain things like doing the billing once a month, but at least I will be able to work on MY terms, as MY schedule permits.
For now, I must go finish up some laundry, and hope to come back and blog again in a more timely manner.
May you be blessed today, wrapped in the arms of the One who loves you beyond words.
