Theresa just left today. It's so sad to see the kids leave after they visit. Sarah is leaving on Wednesday for more than a month. And let's not think about Elizabeth's 2 years in Honduras...
We had a weekend filled with fun, though - lots of garage sales, Spoons, and watching 24. And some stress.
I'm trying to get some work done before starting the week tomorrow, but I'm getting very distracted - reading the Peace Corps sites Liz is finding, playing Spider Solitaire, watching the always interesting exploits of Sarah's friend Amy as she tries to deliver an iced coffee to her friend.
A grateful list to start the week:
- Our family - the kids were such a support to me this weekend as I dealt with a difficult situation
- 24 - Doggone, I love that show. It's so well crafted and tightly executed.
- The Lord's willingness (more - desire!) to be a part of every moment of my life. I've told Chris to let me know when he's dropping me off at work if he sees a bearded man standing outside with a long robe and sandals. That will mean that I once again left God out of my workday. I'm working on that - falling flat on my face without Him helped the motivation quite a bit!!
- Sarah's trip - I'm trying to be grateful for that anyway. It will be a great opportunity, but I'm concerned for her safety in Columbia. It's been in the news lately. A lot of political unrest with bombings in Bogata (where she'll be). Dear Lord, let her have a clear knowledge of your will for her and the power to carry it out.
- Our visit with our friends the Craites last week - what a wonderful time.
