InterRupted

Yes, that is the name of Jen Hatmaker's book.  I would love to be blogging about all that I've gleaned from it except I've been interrupted!  The hubby agreed to read it with me almost a year ago... on one condition:  that I don't read ahead of him.  So I have used that has one of my many excuses for not picking it back up.  I've taken it with us on many trips with good intentions, but life just keeps getting interrupted.

This seems to be the theme of my life right now!  Interrupted!!!  Everything from the grandiose pictures of what I thought life in Rome would be a year (+) later to the minute daily tasks that never seem to get completed.  It is all becoming very frustrating and I can't help but think, maybe we need to get back to that book! ;o)

Kate survived last week by the skin of her teeth.  I was so glad to have Daddy Lion home on Friday to enjoy a girls night out at a Scentsy party.  (nothing glamorous, but it was anywhere but home with the kids at that point)  Saturday was jammed packed with cheer-leading, a baby shower, basketball and a couples bowling with some co-workers.  However, it also brought the news of Mark's Grandpa Roy's passing.  So, filter all that with busy-ness with a  heavy heart:  made for such a long weekend in a not so good way.

We will miss Grandpa, however we have PEACE in knowing that we will see him again and join him in worshiping the One who gives us that chance!

"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

Phillippians 3:13-14

Grandpa just beat us there!

So, here we are again..."normal" life being interrupted.  What is God trying to teach me?  Just trying to remember to be still and listen for that quiet voice. 

Thank you to all of you who read and say a prayer for us!  Grateful for a place to "vent" and be honest and know that I'm loved and prayed for through it all.  

Good night
