Well Hello There!
I’m happy to be returning from what was supposed to be a VERY short coffee break.
I planned on pausing the blog during July to focus on church camp, family vacation, and all the back-to-school rituals, but life had other plans that included Covid, a new job, and a kitten!!
Church camp was wonderful!
I haven’t been in years and found it incredible to experience the nostalgia with my children. They had a blast swimming, fishing, and meeting new friends as they learned more about their Lord and Savior.
Vacation was a bust!
Our vacation turned into a stay-cation as Covid rampaged the house, but I’m not salty about it! Our symptoms were mild, and, as crazy as it sounds, I enjoyed spending quality sick time with the family.
Back-to-school was a sucess!
I loooooooove our back-to-school ritual. I’m obsessed with shopping for pens, pencils, folders, and all things scholarly; I find it exciting to meet new teachers and anticipate the first day of a new year. At the moment, all is going well, but I must admit that our morning routine still needs work. My oldest began middle school, and we continue to maneuver a steep learning curve when it comes to getting ready on time each day, but I’m confident we will work the kinks out in due time.
The new job weirdly is nothing new at all!
I’ve volunteered in Christian Education as long as I can remember and for whatever reason, God placed me in a slightly more administrative position. Instead of feeling excited, I feel incredibly humbled and at peace for the first time in a very long time. More on that to come!
Now to the kitten!!!!
I’m an animal lover of all shapes and sizes and I LOVE cats that belong to other people, I’ve just never considered owning a cat myself. Somehow, this little ‘tuxie,’ as I’m told he’s called, has made his way into our family and won’t be leaving anytime soon. Again, more on that to come…….
Covid was, and still is, sooooo annoying!
I’ve dodged the virus for years and was beginning to think I was invincible, but I’m not! As I said before, the initial symptoms were mild, but it’s been difficult to overcome the lingering fog. I can’t seem to get back on track and have become extremely forgetful. Some days I consider wearing a name tag just to remember who I am. LOL!!
Well, enough about all that.
I hope each of you had an incredibly wonderful summer and enjoyed building memories with your family and friends.
My absence from the blog was supposed to be more like a short coffee break but I’m not going to beat myself up.
God has taught me that His timing is impeccable and more impressive than anything I have planned.
Now it’s time to I’m ready to buckle in and see what next on His schedule for my work day!
