I am only thirty minutes shy of boarding the plane and all I can think about is how sore my behind will be tomorrow when I land in Costa Rica! But what also invades my mind is the love of those who helped bring me to this place not only physically, but mentally and spiritually. I am struck that even though I am boarding the plane alone, for one of the first times in my life I do not feel alone. I feel 360 degrees of love. I know that as I begin this journey it will not come without it bumps, battles, scrapes and bruises but more importantly for me it comes with a soft place to land regardless of the outcome. So as I prepare my mind and heart for this next stage of spiritual growing and maturing I am grateful, for my community. A community that loves me so much they let me go!!
And I pray that I will be able to love as hard, as furious as those who have loved me bring me to this place in my life. Thank you friends, thank you family for allowing me to be me, thank you for listening to me and for hearing me!
I love you!!
Now enough for all the sappy stuff! I am excited to see how my limbs will be shaken and how the Lord shows up......I will update as much as possible so keep checking back! Ready or Not HERE I COME!!!
So I get the Joy of being the first to post.
ReplyDeleteHummm, we "let you go" ?
:)
I am looking froward to talk to you. I did send you an email looking for times that are good for you.
Corbin and I spent the day at Cub scout Polar Camp. We played games in the snow outside of Cannon Falls at a Boy Scout camp. You know Capture the Flag, and different versions of dodge ball. It was a good day.
Megan and a friend went to see Rapunzel in town after we got back. They enjoyed it but felt a little foolish watching a movie with a room full of 5 and 6 year olds.
I watched Aiden, he and I played. When I sneezed it scares him and that little lip comes out and he scronches up his face to cry. It is so hard not to laugh. It is a great "I am going to cry now" face. I will see if I can get a picture of it.
Annie is working today. I hope that she doesn't work tomorrow.
Corbin and I took Megan to her cake decorating class and then went and spent some time with Becky and Ivan. He is growing so. We had fun there. Kedan kept getting in the way, he don't like it when he doesn't get all the attention.
I had a good talk with Becky, which I enjoyed. She is one sharp lady.
Rachel comes over 2 or 3 times a week. She cleans and helps out. Which is nice.
Sheena took Megan and Alyssa to the Goodwill the other day and all three come back with bargains that helped out their wardrobes.
Steve, well he is Steve.
Dad
