Well, hello there! I know it’s been a while since you last heard from or seen me. Can you see me now? I thought this was the perfect image to use, especially since I haven’t written much in quite a while. I am still here. I haven’t forgotten about you. Sometimes, we get so busy, caught up in life, that we put to the side even those things we love.
My family and I got back earlier this week from a Caribou hunting trip near Deadhorse, Alaska. Between the dust and the mud, our trailers had quite the buildup when we got to Coldfoot. My son-in-law had scraped some of the mud off, as it really was quite thick. What was left, made me smile…I hope you see it and makes you smile too 🙂
I’ve been busy tending to our gardens, harvesting herbs, lettuce and vegetables, cleaning out planters and containers with plants that reached the end of their producing life, planted lots of new flowers (which I pretty much just found a spot for, put in the ground and redo next summer as this season is running short), cleaning the house, organizing pictures, editing stories to enter local contests, going through odds and ends things, worked most of the summer, enjoyed a few family trips, and now preparing to go back to school for the start of the new school year on Monday, August 14th.
Busy, busy, busy, trying to get caught up, trying to get ahead with other things. One thing I haven’t spent enough time on is spending quality time with God. I know He has been wanting my undivided attention, but I’ve kept Him in the background, knowing He is there, rather than in the foreground. I need to prioritize Him (which I haven’t been). I know He is patient, gentle and kind, waiting, waiting for me to sit and be with Him and hear all the good things He has to say.
For now, I need to call it a night. I’ve been on the go since very early morning hours. Tomorrow is a new day, so tonight I rest in the hope of an even brighter day! Good night, God Bless and may you have a peaceful sleep!
