a field trip. . . this time for me.

hello to those who read…

posting finally… as i can as you see, it has been awhile….
i had a kindof emotional few days this week (not sure anybody noticed, just thoughts mainly)…pensive, excited, overwelmed, satisfied, anxious….God addresses all of these in his word…and i am always careful not to think that all of these things are new to me/us…to the year 2010 really…but God’s people all along the way felt each of these things and their lives were although very different…so much like ours…
our lives can be full of wishes and contentment….overwhelmed and caught up….in the middle of God’s plan and completely at a loss for his direction…
so many different feeling this week were conflicting to be sure…
this week started with a little bit of frustration, seeming to be in the same spot last monday as this one…but as a whole i ended up with a week of many answered questions and a renewed strength….
i know when i think about it that there are people who feel just like i do…
have i bitten off too much?
am i in the center of God’s will?
do i do enough of what i am supposed to be doing? too much of what i am not?
is there REALLY enough grace for me?
enough mercy?
a struggle each of us face as mothers, fathers, and everything else….
the middle of the week held a wonderful mentor meeting with an couple that inspired and renewned my thoughts….God used them certainly….to help us plan, solidify some things, and move towards some lofty goals…
i know after a great deal of thought, prayer and clarity that Satan would love for me to think that i am i the wrong spot …but i beg to differ with him…speaking truth over those thoughts gave a wonderful amount of excitement and refreshment…
where i am is where i am….and that means owning all of my thoughts and feelings and praying towards that peace that i had this week….business-wise, family-wise, & friend-wise…
this same couple that we met with, are further along in their professional life, spiritual life, and with their children…
they asked me some very direct questions leading to my conclusion that i love what i do and that means alot when you get up in the morning…. why do you do what you do?
so because of all of this, a kindof intense week, i took friday morning to just “take off”….a little personal time with my phone on silent…(bad move)

so i took pictures….something that doesn’t require making a ton of phone calls, ordering alot of fabric, paying bills, managing tasks, or cleaning…and the creative aspect does not involve 27 other people…

so here is what i found (rather GPS lady found it, with some difficulty i might add- but at least she was patient)….a spot for the fall 2010 BBTN photoshoot… AND FOR….READY???? a girls’ weekend seminar….hhmmmmm!!! more on that coming soon….

so….my field trip…(little more fun than a big yellow bus)
