A CRAZY Week… and one ahead…

Why does it always seem that the weeks leading up to a long vacation are so jam packed that it takes the first few days of the vacation to re-coop from them?

That’s the way I feel.

But I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

I’m tired, but refreshed.

Blessing those in your own church body is SO refreshing, yet physically exhausting…

Am I making sense?

My hubby has taken on a project that started out to be changing out a broiler, from oil to gas, and adding a hot water tank and has evolved into redoing 80% of the basement plumbing, moving the washer/dryer hook-ups and adding another set, building a wall behind those hook-ups so it looks nice, redoing a window, and lots of other things along the way just cuz the house is old.

And since he has taken it on, I get to work right along side him.  I praise God that I’m able to help him in this way… it enables him to focus on what he’s best at (designing, measuring, planning, and making it happen)… while I make sure he has food, water, coffee, tools, and a clean work area.

I love to see his heart as he works and how is mind is constantly going and making sure they have the best now and in the future.

We are looking forward to leaving for Iowa on Saturday though… to rest and relax…

My goals?

  1. Spend lots of time in the Word, Journaling, and Studying
  2. And read a good non-fiction book…. any suggestions?  I’m currently reading “The Feminine Appeal”  by Caroline Mahaney, SO good and SO timely in my life.
  3. Sleep in…
  4. Talk daily long walks… if the weather allows…
  5. Cook…
  6. Cuddle by the fire…

Trying to keep it simple, yet refreshing Spiritually, which I know I need more than just physical relaxation.

How are you spending your Thanksgiving?

Love,

H
