For most of the week I’ve been thinking about how I needed to update my blog. However, I have been in meetings all week, which reminds me I need to update my time study. Boo. Hiss. At least I have been doing the same thing all week. 
The other part of the problem is I don’t have anything super meaningful to post about. That may make you not want to read the rest of it. Crap. I promise you should.
It has been a good week. My great grandma turned 91, I know she turned 91 because my grandma just turned 71 and my mom is going to turn 51 in December and Karissa turned 31 at the end of August. How nice of them of them to take care of that for me. My godson, Andrew, turned 16 this week. I am not sure which is more frightening, that 16 years have passed since he was born, or that I was 14 when they asked. Either way, I love him so much and am so thankful I get to speak into his life. He is such a good kid, even if he is over a head taller than me. I learned this week that my friend had been dating a guy for almost four months and didn’t tell me. This could have been a serious burn, but, SHE didn’t know she was dating this same someone. Kind of reminds me like those stories about women being pregnant and not knowing. Doesn’t seem possible, until you know someone it happened to. Glad she is not pregnant, and glad that she has a boyfriend, and will start acting like a girlfriend. Also VERY glad we can laugh about it. I’ve been thinking a lot about my friend Becky, who is moving in less than a week. Holy buckets it is exciting, and crazy. I think they had just over a month to pack everything up. I am excited to see the new place. On Wednesday night I got to worship with some teenagers. I am helping with a mentorship program on Wednesday nights and cannot wait to really dig in. This summer I realized how much I love teenagers. Glad I get to hang out with them. I had dinner with my neighbor and went to see The Help with her and some friends. I GOT TO SEE LEAH SAMPLES THIS WEEK. What is better than that? Finding out a friend has a secret boyfriend, maybe? Last night I got to hang out with the niece and nephew, Mak kept feeding “baby Kate” a bottle and putting me to bed, which involved singing me How Great is Our God, kissing me on the head and touching her cheek to my forehead and saying hug. We did this I bet 15 times. There is nothing better. I love those kids so much. What a gift to live so close!
The freedom I have been experiencing lately is liberating and filled with so much joy. I am living the life I want to lead. I am content. I am excited about what is ahead. I am enjoying life, that is what I want to authentically write.
