This is bound to be a less-than-exciting post. Work has been busy, but I've had a low-key week otherwise which is nice. I've thought often over the last couple of weeks how good the Lord is in His consistent provision of fellowship with other believers, both new and old friends. It's a taste of heaven!
My family crossed the border to Oregon yesterday (cheers) and anticipate arriving in my grandma's house later today. I praise God for the clear, yes CLEAR weather they had their entire trip. They close on their new house next Thursday, and their belongings will arrive a week or so after that.
In other important news, my breakfast today and yesterday was a PB&J sandwich. I have no shame in doing that! I needed a switch from oatmeal and forgot to buy more Grape Nuts. But I really have no shame! I feel no need to explain myself!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously am so excited I'll be laughing the entire way there next week! :)
Mmm. Grape Nuts. Haven't had those in years!! And I love me some PB&J. I've been hooked on eating PB toast for breakfast for a while...I should look into oatmeal again or something...hmmm.
It's FRIDAY!!!
Love you :)
You go girl. PB&J sounds like protein, fruit(sort of), and grain to me - what's not to like?
I just had a PB&J the other day too. Go girl.
4.75 days, baby...
Hey, pray for beautiful weather this weekend! The turnpike is awful if it's anything but DRY. :)
Yea, it posted twice...stupid comment poster thingy...
You know their is nothing like reconciling our differences to be a family. Even when it requires great sacrifice on my part. I am soo willing to follow the Lord even when what around me doesn't make sence and I feel abandoned. I feel rejected. I am just going to know. That I am praying for rejection to never enter your courts again. I will be faithful to the end. I love you with a deep compassion and I am not ahamed to say it. Your wedding meant everything to me. When he dropped the ring in my mind I picked it up and said it is so precious to me. And I thought of all the times I spent with my mom and dad. And how wonderful they were. And how if I just felt at peace there I could stay forever. I mean there is something about CS Lewis that I just have stuck in my heart. Something that will forever be a reminder to me of the great calling that God placed on my life. And how I knew in my heart that if only I could write about the majesty of God that He would just show up in a powerful way. And do marvelous things. And people would read my books and just be inspired about how gracious and compassionate he was. But someone told me to go back to the word. So I just rested in it and I said okay. I will forsake the assembly. I will leave the church that has done so many marvelous things. Then I thought wait that is a bad thought. Where did I get that from. Oh yeah my dad. Well I need to honor him. So by gooly I will submit. Because I will be liberated. But, gosh those people. I love them sooo much. And I just have this terrible feeling they will be rejected. Feel abandoned. So I just said God I will stand in the gap. I won't play church. I will live a life of the sacrifice of praise. Like Andrea and Steve told me to do when they said don't enter the United Methodist Church. I was obedient even though it didn't make sence to me. So I know that God will work it out for the good. Though I confess I am trembling. Something deep is happening in me and He is near me always.
PB&J is good at any time of day! ;) I hope you're having a good week!
