Molded

I am less than 12 hours away from the completion of my marathon ten days and I have to say the last 2 days of this ten day craze have been so much fun. 

On Friday I walked out of J.C. Roe as a teacher for the last time.  I cried briefly…mostly because I was amazed at what God had done in my life and because I’v never been good at saying good-bye.  But I left so excited about what was about to take place.  As soon as I got home, we headed out to a weekend adventure in Boone, North Carolina.  Caleb was going to football camp.  We had a blast – watching Caleb work his butt off, freezing at the top of Howard’s Knob after leaving 95 degree weather here, hiking in flip flops all the way to the top of Rough Ridge and well, trying to all sleep in a hotel room 2 nights without hurting each other…especially when one of us snores really loud and one of us doesn’t sleep well anymore!

Tomorrow morning Caleb leaves with a bunch of other crazy teens to head to Healing Place in Baton Rouge for a 10 day mission trip.  Once I get him off my plan for the rest of the week is to rest, clean my house, enjoy my girls, maybe visit a friend, and enjoy the beach because in a week I start the job of a lifetime.  The thing I know God created me for, but the very thing that seems a little overwhelming at this particular moment.

There are so many things running through my mind, so many ideas, so many thoughts, so many things to do, I know once I start it will be hard to slow down, so for now…I will enjoy the rest.
