Weekend Reflections...

I had a ton of expectations for this weekend... Husband and boys are gone, and I made a list of de-cluttering and re-organizing projects that I won't finish, but I did get a good chunk done. I've managed to rearrange the living room and family room furniture, re-organize my pantry, master bedroom, and family room, and tidy up the boys' rooms and office. The garage is my next big project, but I may save that for a different day. This weekend, however, was not all about my home. About a month ago when I found out that the camping weekend conflicted with a commitment I'd made at CVC with our worship team, I decided to make this weekend a retreat. I made an appointment with God to spend time with Him in solitude and study and worship. Here are my weekend reflections:

• Moving furniture up and down stairs without help is an Olympic sport, and I earned the silver medal.
• It's much easier to throw things out when no one else is home to ask why.
• Worship at CVC with the whole team was an "it" moment, and God was moving.
• God will meet you where you are...He will seek you out and wait until you are ready to come to Him, and He'll be there when you come.
• God is full of surprises and has a sense of humor.
• Sometimes the answer to the question, "What am I supposed to be doing?" leads to another question, "What do I want to be doing?"
• There aren't always 'right' answers, but answers that are right for me.
• Don't pray Bring It On unless you really mean it and are packed and ready to go!

My time with God this weekend was priceless- a true retreat and time of sitting in His lap and talking with Papa. I moved a lot of furniture this weekend. But the biggest obstacle I moved was ME! I didn't get all the specific answers that I was praying for, but from those non-answers I've been able to find questions that are leading me to the answers that are right for me...
