I'm still dreaming, longingly, with drool dribbling, of somehow getting back across the pond. Missing London, dreaming of Ireland, and Germany and Spain. I missed my calling as an independently wealthy traveler.
I've been working...a lot. Going to classes, writing, teaching homeschool (re-learning Geometry, struggling through Chemistry), attending meetings as one of our church's Attraction Leaders for Children's Ministry--don't ask me how I got the gig, I'm not exactly a poster child for it.
Bethany is attending her first forensics tournament tomorrow. (She's gonna be great at this. One of the kids called her bad-ass...proud moment for me)
NaNo is coming up quickly. Not sure what exactly I'm gonna write about. Have an idea but it's not my passion, just a different genre.
Bradley keeps asking for more...or new...or easier...or quicker computer science courses.
Dan's going back to school and he has mad* opportunities at work.
I'm praying about-my mom, my illness, writing, that I will be a good friend to those God has given me, an envy problem, wisdom for Dan as he thinks about work stuff, a friend's divorce.
What God has been teaching me-how weak I am, how unfaithful, how big He is...no He's bigger than what you just pictured, my brain can't even keep it in focus for more than a few seconds, how faithful He is, how strong He is, that He is in control--I'm safe in Him, that He is working all of this chaos and pain and difficulty for my good.
He really is beautiful!!!
*(mad means-mucho).
