I can now mark one more state off my list in order to reach my goal of visiting all 50. With a good bit of cleverness and a bit of work, I managed to surprise Paul with a short weekend trip to Dallas this past weekend. Seeing new scenery while putting all of our "to-do" lists on hold proved to be quite refreshing. I will have to confess that I did perhaps eat a slight bit more than I should have being that I'm on a mission fundraiser diet called "Don't Feed the Staff." While I found myself to be a fan of the variety of eating establishments and specialty shops the area offers, I do not foresee myself signing up to battle the traffic there on any regular basis.
Returning home late Saturday evening meant plunging into Sunday prep. God has blessed me with an opportunity to serve in a great ministry. I do not always feel adequate... in fact, I often feel lacking. Yet God constantly reminds me that He is our strength, and when He calls He equips. It seems as if January has flown by and there is so much to do in the coming weeks and months! One important challenge is just learning to take things one day at a time and experience the lessons and blessing God has knitted into each of those days. That's a bit hard for me-- a constantly anxious person, always looking to what's ahead-- but I continue to learn to do this with the help of some great people God has placed in my life. My wonderful husband is at the top of that list, always reminding me to be patient and take things one day at a time.
