Did it sneak up on you too?? I watched the wind and rain today, almost in disbelief, after how many perfect weather days..could we really be cold, damp, and tossed here and there? But the forecast holds promise of more typical fall weather..and it's been a wonderful summer!
Life continues to hold changes for me that I never saw coming, so, for the most part, I've stopped looking! I've been told that my "spirit" seems calmer...maybe it's just more rested! I have not set an alarm more than 3 times in the past 8 months! Of course, I also sleep across the hall from a natural alarm clock..an 8 month old grand daughter! But, it's interesting to hear people's perspective on what has happened, and where it's taking us. So my spirit , my body, and my mind, all try to take it as it comes...and here's what's come lately...
I've started my second year of Leaders of the Harvest Ministries at Third Church. I Love my Class...it's hard work, it's looking in and looking up, looking back, and looking ahead, and it is so what I needed right now. Isn't God good? I would love to share everything I'm learning in class, but perhaps just this one thing for now will suffice: If you think you've got it all figured out, You Do Not. Yes, that was a revelation to me. And the part about losing your life to find it...If you've never had to give anything up, I'm not sure you'll really understand that one either....More on that as the year proceeds...
I'm employed! The Gals at Best of Thyme's in Pella have granted me a part time position on Monday's and Fridays! I'm excited to be around such good people and beautiful things!! This part time work will give me the excuse to dress up and get out of the house and give Val the opportunity to enjoy her daughter on Friday's with out Nana! It's a win, win! so please, starting in November, come see me on Franklin Street (hmmm back where I spent 8 years) in downtown Pella!!
Okay, I think that's enough about me! What's going on with you??? If you're reading this, I consider you a friend and I would LOVE to hear from you!! email me bevdv@iowatelecom.net
love to all
