I came to the Lodge with my mom and sister this weekend. On the way here, we encountered this...
'Twas breathtaking, indeed.
Well, I've had some concerned readers who were waiting for a blog update email me to ask if I made it home alright. I'm home. I have to say, though, that it feels like I'm going to need a few days to rest up from my trip and get back into the swing of things. I could tell on Saturday as I was driving home from North Carolina that I was about to hit "the wall"...physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc. The past couple days of being home have left me feeling pretty drained and I'm realizing that I need some time to get away for a few days by myself and decompress. :) So, I'm going to use this week to organize, pay bills, and prepare for a wedding that I'm singing in this weekend, and then next week I'm going to head up to the Lodge to spend a few days in non-driving solitude. :::BIG SIGH::: I will be honest and say that typically the transition back into normal routine after a trip is particularly difficult for me...on many levels, so in that regard, I would certainly welcome any prayers.
My trip, overall, was incredibly positive. I loved connecting old friends and new friends, and I'm so, so thankful for the chance to share my music and life with people along the way. The Lord was good to not only work through me on this trip, but IN me as well. There were some difficult moments of real soul-searching, but in those times He is always so faithful to meet me where I am and teach me through the process. I am both humbled by and grateful for those moments.
It's good to be home though. My Maddie cat is as soft and fluffy as ever and I'm thoroughly enjoying burying my face in her fur. :) Yesterday I had dinner with the family and I could hardly contain my excitement at seeing the kids again. Lucas is starting to memorize Bible verses at church and when he recited Deuteronomy 31:8, " The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged", I nearly bawled. It's good to be home.
Thank you all for your prayers for me while I was gone. And thank you to those of you who took time out of your schedule to meet up with me or host me along the way. You all are such a vital part of my ministry and I do not take that for granted. You are loved.
She thinks she's all that.
