As I sit outside this morning, listening to the rain, it hits me…..I am almost finished with my sabbatical journey. This has been an amazing twenty-something days so far. But I won’t lie, I really could use about a few more weeks. 😉
I am mentally preparing for the best finale to this sabbatical. I will be leaving tomorrow for Wichita Falls and then Dallas. I will be able to spend time with all four of my kids and their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriends.
This is the time that I have most desired for the past five years. Of course, I have the conversations played out in my head. But we all know things won’t be said exactly as I have planned. I have been praying for more than a year to heal hurt relationships and to draw my kids closer to me. During this past year or so, God has really helped me to be a better person and to “do the next right thing” (phrase stolen from NA).
Yesterday I spent the day making things for my home. I have an eight foot clock that my husband made me for my last birthday and it needed a little something to the side of it. It took me eight months but I finally figured it out.
I also made new front door decor. I found a fence company that will give me all their scrap wood. Needless to say, I know what everyone is getting for Christmas!
