Learning So Much

After going to church last night, I realized that I am going to be learning A LOT as a pastor's wife! No need to go into major detail but I will say...God is teaching me to "love God and love people" and everything else will fall into place. Also...He is helping me learn to be quick to listen, and slow to speak:) This beautiful Thursday morning, I got up and was just really needing to find a quiet place, with coffee of course!, where I could really rest at the feet of Jesus. I was desperately needing time in the Word. So I got up and by 6:30am had asked my loving husband if he would mind watching Annie Ruth for about 2 hours while I drove the 45 minute drive to Krispy Kreme and spent some time with God. He graciously said yes (although he was a little concerned as to why I would want to actually drive 45 minutes); today was just one of those mornings where I needed to take a drive.....AND..I needed 2 doughnuts!:)

I had a good time at KK and brought Austin back a yummy doughnut (since, after all, he is soooo good to me all the time!). I left feeling refreshed and when I came back home I felt as though I could get through anything the day thew my way! Today has actually been a great day...I made a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup thanks to Rachel Marshman's recipe. It...was...delicious!! It's possible that I added a little too much butter...but like my friend once told me..."a little butter never hurt nobody":) Haha

Last night my husband blessed me by telling me he was very glad I had this Maryland trip planned to see my best friend, Jacki Manley. He said he could tell I really needed this...and boy do I ever!....I am in serious need of girl time and basically time with another pastor's wife who is walking through some of the same things I am walking through. So I leave in one week from this Sunday!

Peace out
