I love spending time with friends & family -
it’s easy to smile and be myself around them and I find joy bubbling up from within my chest and spreading to the rest of me until I feel relaxed, safe and loved.
Love it!
Had a great time celebrating Justin’s 25th birthday yesterday. It’s crazy how grown up all of us are! I am so proud of each of my siblings and so glad to have them in my life!!
Then today I got to hang out with the SMCC small group leaders and coaches and that was awesome. Whenever I go to SMCC, it is like coming home and I love chatting with the people I know but haven’t seen in months. We learned about “Growth.” What it looks like and how to make it happen.

After a coffee date with Sara in which we kept an eye on Riley who amused himself by running back and forth, touching his shoulder to the Starbucks wall, and later by rolling on the group, I took a nap. A much needed nap before which I read some of my writings on truth that God has laid on my heart in regards to my identity, and my relationship with him. I needed reminding. The rain was falling and it was the perfect background music to my musings and then sleep.
Kathy came over early before the Cabo Meeting. I have loved spending more time with her as we are both officially single now.
The Cabo meeting was encouraging, inspiring and such a reminder of God’s provision and miraculous power. Each of us feel a deep sense of wonder and gratitude that God would allow us to be a part of what He is doing in Cabo - to use our small gifts and talent - and we are humbled by the way He paves the way for us and brings all the details together. We could never accomplish the things He has already accomplished on our own. This is about His glory and power. His church. His love. I’m so blessed to be a part of it.
Then Kathy & Toby & I hung out and watched “The Pianist”, a very sad but touching movie. However, with the amount of cynical and loud mouthed comments made by all parties during the movie, we managed to end the night in good spirits and laughing.
It is the end of the day. The rain has stopped. The only sound in my room is my fingers against the keys of my keyboard. My eyelids are heavy and I am going to bed now.
Goodnight -
