through it all, it is well

go to church early this morning to clean
excited because I should be home by 10:30 AM,

earlier than I have been known to get up some mornings!

get sidetracked working in the library shelving & organizing books

step into associate pastor's office, 

as I reach for a trash can 
see a photo on his desk 

realize it is the elders praying for him at his ordination

Bill is there, front and center

exit office without doing my job (sorry Bradley)

back to the library, 

sit at the conference table

reach for the Kleenex

indulge in a cleansing cry

as memories flood over me

finish cleaning

come home at 1:30 to find progress made in the kitchen

and 15 text messages I didn't get b/c there is no cell service at OG

begin to read messages, 

one gives me a reason to pray for one of my kids and grandkids

continue to read messages

end with a reason to praise

warm a bowl of soup in the microwave

take a minute to clean sections of the kitchen floor

before refrigerator and stove get moved back to where they belong

our first outdoor soccer practice is at 3:15 with two recruits

quickly paint first coat on crown moulding they will need next week

go to the pitch and meet two new moms 

enjoy 90 minutes of 78 degrees & sunshine

return home to second coat crown moulding

Sarah shared a video of Bre singing a song that feeds my heart

regardless of circumstances

regardless of feelings

I hope it does yours too

"far be it from me to not believe,

even when my eyes can't see..."
