Not There Yet

Still no bed in sight - you know what I mean... (see previous post) - but some progress has been made. Well, hardly, but there has been productivity. When I was considering my three days (once again, see previous post) I forgot that a bridal shower was being held here last night, hosted by my daughter and others. I made chicken pate (an all day affair, it turns out) as my offering, Brietta made cranberry upside down cake and we all came up with a Waldorf salad.

I also forgot that today will be our first gathering for a Shakespeare Club - it will consist of a read-through of Julius Caesar (I'm the organizer - go figure - so I best not miss it.) It will take up the morning and part of the afternoon.

Then hubby arrives home at 4pm. So much for the big "dig-out". But, still, at least school has been accomplished and the downstairs is clean (my daughter suggested that I host the next shower in our bedrooms if I want them cleaned. Now that's a thought for all of us...)

I've enjoyed two days at home with family, read books with Merrick, did some grocery shopping, had breakfasts with devotions, cleaned a bit, wrote some letters, and cooked a meal, as well as various other things. All in all, it was good.

Still trekking, however, looking for the middle of the road once again. I think that may be my life story! But at least I'm trekking!

One thing I know. Jesus Christ will forever more be my goal, my purpose, my inspiration, my rock. He is my reason for living the way I live, for making the choices I make, for taking the road I am on. And I don't regret a moment walked with Him. I wouldn't change it for the world. He is, actually, my life story, my life song.

So on I go, filled with hope, expectation, and joy. I'm walking with the King of all kings - it doesn't get any better than this!

  1. If our homes were always clean our lives would be a bore. I believe "hero" is an understatement when I think of all the things you go through in a week, let alone a year :)

    i'm afraid your posts are too inspiring . . . every time i read them i wish i were married with five kids and a wonderfully "messy" home. hmmmmmm . . . maybe i should stop reading these - it's not healthy for a young, handsome, incredible bachelor guy like me. can you write something regarding singleness so i don't feel so left our? ; )
