When addition and subtraction get all mixed up...
When the clothes too small sit in the hallway for a week, collecting dust before finding their way to their labeled bins in the basement...
When the coffee wears off before 10:30 am...
When little miss tutu wants to play 101 questions...
When you face a choice of whether to go or not to go...
Life has a way of flipping upside down, all around, leaving you wondering what's coming next. I feel as though I'm playing a game of hopscotch, unable to jump on the right numbers, my balance going topsy-turvy. The past two weeks have been that for me. Lack of sleep, testing/proctoring, and three nights of ballet/tap left me worn and weary. Our school year is coming to an end (3 more weeks!!) and how I long to finish well.
Amid the crazy schedule, I was faced with a big decision for this summer. To go or not to go... My youth-pastor-husband takes students on mission trips almost every summer. The last mission trip I went on was five years ago... to Canada... in a van... I had really felt the Lord leading me to go with him to Ecuador this summer if a spot opened. Needless to say, that happened. Within one week, my parents and sister agreed to take care of our precious girls while we are away, my passport was sent off to be renewed, the money was covered for the trip, and I was able to think about going without crying my eyes out. I am honestly not sure what God has in store for this trip, but I am earnestly praying that it will be amazing. Not in the sight-seeing or even in what we as a team accomplish, but in what He is going to do! May lives be changed for eternity! May my life be changed...
"Good intentions don't lead to a life well-lived; a life well-lived is accomplished when we walk each day in faith, keeping our eyes on Jesus and our hearts inclined to His Word." - Sarah Mae
May your weekend be sweet and full of memories. May you be open to go wherever He leads you whether it's down the street or around the world.
