usually when i'm blog silent it's an indication that things are really crazy in my world. when my heart is tired, my schedule is packed...and my heart is trying to sort out heads and tails in complicated situations I tend to stop blogging (i just don't have the time/emotional energy...or i feel so uncertain of things that i can't imagine writing anything down or sharing my jumble of thoughts with other people).
that isn't the case with this most recent blog silence.
life has been relatively "normal" for awhile.
that new sense of "peace" and "rightness" that the Lord planted in me at the retreat in Thailand has stayed with me and been sustaining me.
there haven't been any emergencies (except for a very unbelieveable "near-emergency" earlier this week).
and i've been thinking and learning...but not wrestling with things in a way that makes me feel like i'm drowning...
...i guess in some ways my life has seemed really "normal." Dare i say...perhaps even "boring"? (not to me...but probably to you if i were to write about it).
here's some of what i've been up to recently...
- my dear friend Merilee was in town for 2 weeks
- it was Sarah's 40th birthday (we had a great celebration)
- i've updated financial spread sheets
- been to lunch at the homes of multiple SB ladies
- i've read fun fiction books
- i've been crocheting
- the shelves that i ordered 2 month ago for my kitchen were finally installed
- we had a graduation at our prevention unit
- i've had dinner with friends
- had a book discussion over the teachings of Sundar Singh
- went to a yoga class
- my internet was cut off suddenly and i had to sort out a new way to have internet at home (and was without it for a week or so...i read a lot that week. it was good)
- created and distributed a new "mental health" booklet to use with the SB ladies in training
- hung up pictures on my walls
oh...and there was a rat in my toilet. a live one. he was just chillin' w/ his little nose above the waterline... it was gross (and i'm still kinda creeped out by it). thankfully Chaya was here when it happened and she told me she would take care of it...and i was more than willing to receive that help!
