It’s Friday and wow what a few weeks it’s been. I feel like every week and weekend is so full of things to do, places to go and just so much going on. I need a weekend to relax, no phone and rest. Every time I try to plan that kinda weekend I stay at home and before I know it I’m taking on a project. I wish I could find the peace in my sleep like my little Cherry does, seems she has no cares in the world. I need to rest and clear my head, I need some quiet time and be in a place where I can just enjoy myself. I need Waco!!!
Greg is out-of-town in California so I packed up my things last night and loaded my truck. I get done teaching at 11:45 then I’m headed to Waco. Greg will meet up with me when he gets back in town. The puppies are taken care of because my daughter and her family are still at my house until November. By 2:00 I’ll be walking around the Silo’s and enjoying some quiet time. Dinner at one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food on the river. Then turning in for an early night at my favorite place to stay. Saturday will be a quiet and peaceful day spent at the Heritage Homestead. This place is so quiet and you can feel God’s presence. The families that run it are so kind and friendly. I love being here I wish I took the time to visit more. I don’t know why I don’t it’s only 2 hours from my house.
I’m going to take the time to clear my head. There is so much going on I want to make sure I’m thinking things through and not making decisions that are half thought through. I have friends who think that is the best way to do things, to just make a quick decision and go with it. I’m pretty good at not taking too much time but there are some things coming up in my life that need to be clearly thought through. I don’t want to make the wrong choice.
I don’t know about you but when my head is full of things I need to do, choices I need to make or things I need to process I can’t enjoy what is going on around me. Over the next 6 weeks I have so much on my plate. I see no open time to fill with anymore events or projects. I need to make sure that I’m clear on a few things. When the holiday season starts I want to have a clear head so I can enjoy the holidays and my family.
There are several verses that I will be praying over Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Also Job 33:33 If not, listen to me: Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom. There are so many more verses in proverbs I will be referring to as I search for clarity in the choices I have to make. My faith carries me, my faith holds me up and my faith refreshes me. I feel comfort within my faith and the answers I will receive this weekend.
We all need to have down time, to regroup in prayer and make sure we are putting His plan first. It’s so easy to decide what we want, to make choices that we want and not take the time to pray for His will. I’m going to do that this weekend. I’m going to just be silent and let His plan fill my heart. I need this time to be silent and just hear His word. It’s going to be a quiet Blue Happy time and I’m looking forward to it. God Bless you and your family this Blue Happy weekend.
