Just When Things Become Predictable…

So, this was supposed to be a season of no more surprises. Of relative stability…knowing what to expect out of life. We have a travel date for Uganda, we have a court date, we’re getting on with what we’ve been waiting for for over...

Last week was our week. ❤️ And even though I thrive on routine and a schedule, getting up early to leisurely read my Bible for an hour with a latte in hand was the reminder I needed to slow down and listen to what He has to say to me.

Until I decided enough was enough and told him in a very cryptic and roundabout way that I liked him. He responded by standing up and walking out my back door 😂. Against those odds, we’ve made it all these years. He’s still the funniest, kindest person I’ve ever known. And I still have the biggest crush on him.

They had lots of really good thoughts and ideas and questions and I sat and listened and answered. What a privilege to not only teach them, but learn alongside them. It was a good day.
