Productivity

Magazine basket is purged.

Razorback flag is hung.

Chili is in the crockpot.

Most of the dust bunnies are vanquished.

Grocery list made.

Floor vacuumed.

Blog post written.

I love being productive in my pajamas!

Community

Lunch time meeting with Bible study leaders. We shared soup, salad and stories of what we saw God doing.

Afternoon packing up his office. My boss, friend, and counselor. He's following God and moving on to the unknown. Leaving a gap in the church, around the office, and in my heart (this is feeling all too familiar).

Evening praying with other moms. All of us with children out of the nest. Some in college. Some in military. All finding their own way after high school. All us moms coming together for one purpose.

Other people in our lives. It's risky, sometimes it hurts. But mostly it's good. We were created for community. Take the risk. Open up. Invite in.

Standing in the Gap

It was an intense week--midterms and sorority initiation all rolled into one big, event packed, stressed filled week.

I couldn't be there.

So blessed that other people could be--good people, family.

They stood in the gap...and brought cookies and hugs.
