all these things are what's going on in my life right now. an annoying cough that won't let me sleep at night or let me keep any food down. party planning for Jae's first birthday next week and preparing for Church Summer camp this week. our apartment looks pretty M E S S Y right about now (well always) but even more so now. i'm such an over packer...really, i can't decided what to leave behind or i have the moments of "what if it gets cold or rains" so i end up bringing the whole closet for "just in case" moments....and i'm okay with being safer than sorry.
i can't wait for camp. a chance to get away from all the busyness of life and stress that the world can bring. just to be with God in the stillness...in the quiet. sometimes we can get so caught up with what's around us, what we don't have, what we need, the worries and problems of our lives...that we forget about those most intimate moments with God. i don't want camp to be a temporary fix, maybe a refreshment, but for camp to teach me more about God and to just be in awe. it's a time that families can get away from the iPads, tvs, laptops, homework, work, party planning....and just relax.
hope your week is filled with more quiet than chaos.
