A little bit of a break

Starting this past Monday, I started house sitting for some friends of mine while they are away in Turkey (lucky guys - they deserve it though), so checking my email and updating the blog will be on a sporadic basis as I don't have access to a computer while at their house. I am still looking after Cole a couple days a week after school, so I will check it a couple times during the week, but if people need to get a hold of me, the best way to do so is on my cell.

In the past 3 days I have experienced an amazing sense of freedom. There is an overwhelming peace about the place I am staying at that has consumed me and I am loving it. Soon after I stepped foot in the house I felt more relaxed and at peace then I have in many many weeks. It made me crave the day when I will have my own place again.

My heart has been doing a lot of reflecting lately about various relationships in my life and where I have come in the past few years. Forgiveness and graciousness have been 2 words that God has given me. Both words are extremely powerful actions and I almost wish He had given me a word like peace because that particular word does not seem so scary and hard to do. It would be apparent that I have more reflecting and praying to do in the next little while as I work through some stuff that has been piling up in my heart. More to come on this...

"The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you

and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you

and give you peace."

~Numbers 6:24-26
