I hope you’ll forgive me today.
My mind has been a million places (hovering closely around my blog is one of them) but today my mind is somewhere else.
So I hope you can forgive me.
I’ve been working HARD hard hard on this book. If you didn’t know I’m working to write my story, our story and I guess ultimately God’s story, into a book. It’s taking a lot of hard work and creative scheduling. Proposals, editing, re-editing, scratching out whole 500 word blocks and then re-writing….
You get it.
So by the end of the week certainly, and by the end of the day sometimes, my “word allotment” for the day has all been used up.
I’m not going anywhere, but I hope you’ll forgive me today for simply letting you into a corner of my life. No big life lessons. No big “Ah Ha!” moments today. Just me talking to you like we were hanging out at the park.
I’m mothering will all of my strength and then with what is left over, I’m writing hard. I’m letting my workouts go (unless one of my amazing friends, Vanessa or Stacia, calls me and promises to meet me at the gym or on the hill for a jog). I’m wading through piles of clean laundry to find my bed. [Sigh] And then when I finally fall down to sleep, I’m dreaming of Starbucks or blinking cursors.
Today we’re traveling north a few hours to spend the weekend with our friends, Steve and Lisa Leonard. Chad and I will be sharing our story with their college ministry at their church in San Luis Obispo where Steve is the college ministries pastor. If you are in the neighborhood, please stop by. Click here for information.
And if you’re not, please pray for us. It will be the first time we’ve shared together as a couple.
So today, I’ll be enjoying a workout with Vanessa in the morning, packing the car for our trip and chasing after my three-year-old.
I’ll see you on Monday when I’m sure I’ll have pictures and stories to share from our weekend.
What are you doing this weekend?
Sarah-
I so forgive you, but I’m heartbroken just the same. You see, I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now and I am so blessed by your honesty and perspective. I would love to meet you and I go to church with Steve and Lisa, but I’m going out of town this weekend! I’m so sad I won’t get to see and hear you in person.
I’m praying that your time with our college group will be a blessing to all of the students – as well as a blessing to Chad and you. Enjoy San Luis!
Someday we’ll meet.
Forever in Christ,
Debbi
praying for your weekend, my friend. i’m confident you will glorify Him!
No need to feel so bad!! There doesn’t always have to be a big life lesson… we all just love to hear from you… anything!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you journey in this first time of sharing your story together… you will both be great! ♥
I am praying for you Sarah today. (I am headed to Ocean Beach in a minute)
Praying that:
~ You get some rest, for your soul too.
~ That God will place a person in San Obispo, where you will see just How important and amazing your story is.
~safe travels.
Wow.. if you ever in San SDiego, I would love have share your story here.
Take care, Much Love
Awe, this is awesome-I am so proud of you (and Chad); and, I do not even “know” you. God will meet you there; He will be right beside you, as you speak. I will be praying. Count me in.
love

xoxoxo Trina
this weekend I am working hard to forgive.
I will be relaxing this weekend for the first weekend in 6 weeks! I will also be praying for guidance in my life as I am facing some life changing decisions. I will actually make it to church (see above)!!
I will be praying for you and Chad as you face the difficult journey. You both amaze and inspire me and I know that God is using you in very specific ways to glorify Him.
Have a good, healing weekend and safe travels…my prayers go with you!
p.s. lemme know if you’re ever coming to New Mexico!
Will be praying for you as you share your story
Good luck!! Enjoy the road you’re on, though it might seem treacherous at times.
No worries! sometimes the lesson is its okay to put certain things on hold. Praying for you
No worries! sometimes the lesson is its okay to put certain things on hold. Praying for you! – you shouldnt feel guilty for taking care of family and working towards your goals. Your book – when published will help so many more people. Its a goal worthy of pursuing.
We are praying for you.
We found this site helpful http://www.holylandprayer.com Check it; maybe it gives you a relief.
God bless you.
I’ll be praying for you guys! No forgiveness necessary, girl! Sharing what you’ve been up to, the challenges and this opportunity to speak is just right. No “ah-has” necessary
We should have a laundry party as my bed too is covered in clean but sadly neglected clothes. Life happens. MIKI
Praying for your weekend. Have fun with Lisa! And way to go on writing your book, I know what hard work that is. I hope you get some rest soon.
Praying for you, sweet friend, and love this “just talking to us” moment. It shows me just as much of your heart as the posts with your eloquent wisdom weaved through.
We moved from SLO in April so won’t be able to join you. Sure miss being at Grace. Will pray things go well and the students glean something from your testimony.
I’m there, too. Writing, re-writing, hoping, battling unbelief, hoping again.
Right there.
