It's been several days since I've sat to write and I miss it. I really love doing this; it helps my insides and it helps to know that I'm writing to people. But sometimes life gets a little busy and something gets put on hold. Thoughts go through my mind and I want to develop them by writing it out but something else needs to be attended to and also because I don't yet have my own computer connected to the internet and I use my daughters computer for now. Believe me - when I get my computer back you'll know it. I think I need to start making notes throughout the days though so that when I do get to sit and write I can maybe remember what I was thinking.
I did go to KC to visit my hubby and my friends. It was lovely to see him. I miss him. It's such an odd place we're in. He's living one life and I'm living another. But the thing is we are both living for the accomplishment of several things that matter to our future. Our hearts and heads are connected in these purposes. They are God's purposes and we choose to allow him entrance to our lives while we fast each other and the life that we want. We talk. I'm very grateful for the technology that lets me talk to him every day and sometimes several times a day. It gets kinda hard sometimes - especially for Larry I think. He is there and wants to be here. I'm here and I want to be here. As it was getting to be almost time to go it felt a little strange and Larry would have paid the cost of a ticket that would have let me stay one more day but I knew I needed to come back. So it's kinda hard sometimes.
I saw my friends there too. Friends is too mild a word. Spiritual family would be the right word. We cooked dogs and burgers Saturday evening and people came over and just "hung out" for a few hours. I loved looking at your faces - it was a refreshing drink for me and I needed it.
So what is a "spiritual family"? These are the people who get into your heart and to whom you connect by the spirit. We are not necessarily in "unity" if you define unity as all doing or believing or pursuing the same things. We have lives to live before God and we respect each other's journey. But we have also recognized our own Lord in each other and acknowledge that HE connected us and so we make a commitment to just BE in each other's life whether far or near. One of the couples in this group of people will be moving to Arizona this weekend.
Live FREE Manny and Sara. We hold you loosely but we DO hold you. Embrace your journey and have an adventure in God.
I've also had a job last week and this week and you know how much time THAT takes. It's been a pretty good job and I know that I also have to build my relationship with the staffing agency I'm working with so all is well on that front. Hopefully there will be something else next week. I would like to keep working for one thing because it keeps me in a routine and that actually is good for me. A few days off here and there wouldn't hurt tho.
Well, it's been nice just to sit down and write stuff.

It so was good to see you! We enjoyed the time we spent visiting with your house church. News here--Joshua bought a car. A 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. It has a smooth ride. Bethany got a job at Sonic too. My sister got off to New Zealand, made it as far as San Francisco and then had major problems. I have spent the last 6 1/2 hours on the phone and I am praising God, as He got them on that plane. Their baby did not have a visa and the airline was refusing to let him on the flight. God intervened and when they arrived in LA they didn't mention the visa. The flight attendant said there was a problem and they were missing something. Sandie kept her mouth shut, began nursing her screaming baby while standing there and the flight attendant came back and said they were cleared to board. Here in Kansas City I was praying out loud with Jonna that God would intervene. Thank you, Father for your power! Please pray for their lost bag.
