A Moment to Breathe.
Wow. I really feel like I've been moving non stop for the last three weeks. I've been driving back and forth between St. Cloud and Duluth most every weekend and after the long days I'm having right now at work, it feels like I've had zero time to myself. Which is funny because I have 2.5 hours in the car each way driving back and forth. This

I love going to church, even though it's not my path. I find it uplifting & encouraging that church & faith can help people find their inner strength when they need it most.

Hun..this brought back so many thoughts of when my neices were being confirmed. Especially agonizing over what kind of gift to give.
I didnt go to my oldest neices actual service because I stayed at my brothers home setting up....happily so. But with my youngest I was the first at the church. It was hot and crowded and I was dreading hearing a hellfire and brimstone sermon. Instead what I heard was how Jeasus tended many flocks and at times he would wander to do so. I thought...thats ME!!! I'm OTHER...lol.
Hope the weekend was peacefull and restfull.
Hope the move to Deluth is going smoothly.
Hugs,
Jenn
