Stop and smell the roses....
Good evening all. I just got off for the day, and I wanted to say hey.
You know when you've had one of those really long days when you wanna cry, laugh, and stomp your feet like a kid all at the same time?? Yeah, it was one of those. Actually, with sick kids in the house, most of last week was long too. I'm sure if any of you all have siblings that have gotten sick you can relate. They are either mellow or crabby....hehe.
But, sickness aside, it hasn't been so bad. I'm just really tired;). Hasn't the weather been fantastic? I'm lovin' it. This weekend I "left the city" to go to church in Purcellville. It was really good for me. It's like Harold Bell Wright said in Shepherd of the Hills: (pardon the paraphrase), "For those who live in the hills, they see what God has made day after day, is it any wonder than that in the city there is so little of God? For those living in the city see only the work of the hands of man, while those in the hills see the work of God's hands."
I hadn't realized how much I missed the "countryside" of Leesburg and Purcellville. It's truly a different world here. So, tomorrow, "stop, and smell the roses", as it were. God made the creation partly for our pleasure.
Oh, yeah so I went to another baseball game. Sad, yeah, I know. I'm trying to "meet new people", so I went to see the Phillies and Nats with the singles group from the church I have been attending out here. The game was sad...the Phillies got 4 runs in the first inning and won, 8 to 4, but it was still fun to be there.
Anyhow, I have to run. I'm going to go workout tonight.
Miss you all, and hope to see you soon:)

Hi Julie,
It sounds like your life is rich and full. I just loved your quote. We are truly privileged to live in a place where what God created speaks so loudly.
Jonathan and David were both home for the weekend which was special for us. We also had a wonderful time of prayer and celebration with Janessa on her birthday last night.
Hope you don't succumb to the kids' illness. : )
Love - Karen
