FINALLY ... I'M BACK!

More than a decade has come and gone since my last posts, and the old saying, "time flies," has definitely played out!

My family has grown up and grown bigger.  And there have been so many events and milestones through the years ... weddings, births, deaths, health issues, travels, missions, home renos, working on our little farm and with our different animals.  

After over 43 years of having "kids" at home (at one time, or another) and after 17 years of fostering ... my husband and I are finally living the "honeymoon" life!  lol. All of my kids are on their own - and we are getting regular respite on weekends.  So we have time ALONE!!! 

And I find myself in a time of reflection and, at the same time, anticipation for all that is ahead of me.

Above all ... I want this less busy season to be a time where I press in to the things of God.  I want to dive into the Word and just pray to know Jesus more intimately.  That is my number one pursuit and desire.

I don't know what the next few years will bring.  I don't know if we'll stay where we are, or move and downsize.  But I do know that those plans are just geography.  What is important in life is relationship!  So THAT will be my focus.  Relationship with Jesus.  Relationship with my husband.  Relationship with my family and my friends.  And relationship with whomever God brings into my life - for His purposes.

My upcoming posts will be filled with my thoughts and with things that God shows me.  Hopefully it will inspire people and make them think.  

And, so I move on from today and say ... 

"Take my life, Lord.  I am Yours."
