You know that feeling that someone is staring at you so you wake up? (Parents have experienced this many times!!!) I awoken to a little smile on my daughter's face and the sounds of birds chirping all around. I knew it was still early so I encouraged her to go back to sleep, and by some small miracle she did... I was able to lay and just listen peacefully to the birds (and answer texts and emails) for another forty-five minutes before my sweet boy emerged from his spot on the couch. I knew it was time for me to get out of bed and once again he is reading over my shoulder. Perhaps now is the time I should mention that we leave for NC this morning and my gps said six hours not five...lol hmm little reaction.
Although the sun is not shinning bright, we have been given the light to guide us to my friends. It has been a year and a half since I last saw her. It will be wonderful for her and I to be able to relax and allow the kids to have fun. I am so blessed to have this opportunity. So many people encouraged this trip and expressed how much I need to just let go and relax, YOU were all right and I am, THANK YOU for always being there and providing the support and encouragement that I need.
As I embark on this next leg of the journey, I will take with me the positive attitude that I can do this. After all, life is the journey and although I do not know the exact route, I do know that "the sign of God is we will be led where we did not plan to go" so no matter what I will make it to my sweet friend's house and learn so much more from God in this journey. How will you make today a Marvelous Monday?
