Independence! What a terrific thing when you have it. I spent the early part of the long weekend with my brother and his family and his wife's family on their farm. A city girl who LOVES being in the wide open country. I just wished I could have saddled up "Brown (the horse on the land adjacent to them) and rode off into the sunset, with the wind in my hair and having the feeling of flying. I miss riding, I want to be more intentional on taking it up again.
The time with the family was beautiful. BBQ, Pool, Nephews, Campfire, Fireflies. I actually got some sun! My brother Aaron is very dear to me and I adore his wife Melanie. Aaron, who wears his heart on his sleeve most of the time, told me that he really liked seeing me sitting on the porch there with them all. That made me feel sooo loved! I told him I,too, liked sitting on the porch with them all, and then gave him a big hug. I did not want to leave them and felt a bit sad coming back into the city. I don't know if it was becuz I loved the company and country so much or if I was just dreading having to get back into work soon. No matter what, it felt good to be away.
I came back so I could be in the city for Sunday. I can't wait to go to church on Sundays. The new church i am going to with my parents is just amazing! it is The Church of Wrigleyville (TCOW) and our pastor Josh Taylor is awesome! I wish you all could come and go with me. God is really motivating me thru him to get out of my introverted self and become more "missional" for Jesus. i am more in love with Jesus everyday!
...and my "old flame" picked me up today in a convertible 1963 Mercury Comet. It was a good start in creating a spark in me again (i am a girl who LOVES old cars!)
