I repent!

It's been a month, I think, since I wrote here! I'm so sorry. I don't have a brillantly horrible story to tell you about why I haven't written. I just haven't. Here are some brief updates from the last month.

I turned 30. On Ash Wednesday. Does the irony catch anyone else?

I had one the worst stomach bugs of my life. 'Nough said.

I was honored to speak at a retreat for wonderful women from Sonrise church in Gainseville, TX. It was a joy to be with them.

This weekend I am home with what I think is the flu. My two girls have gotten sick as well. I kept the kids home from church yesterday. When Chad came home (with fast food) we had "family church". It looked like this: I was lying on the couch with chills. Chad and all three kids were crammed on the love seat with Bible storybooks surrounding them. He must have read 10 as they sat there and the girls just ate up that time with their daddy. It was a sweet a moment to witness. Then they sang songs to God. My husband is a gifted worship leader and I am so often amazed at God pouring out through him. But, seeing him scrunched on a love seat with our children and praising God with them brought tears to my eyes. Chad's gifts bless 1,500 people every Sunday morning. But yesterday, I was so honored that we are on this path of life together because I was moved at his tenderness and joy in sharing praise with our kids.
