Off and Running

Our first Cross Country practice happened while we were in the ville.  Mads had her long run for her half marathon today so she was up at 5:30 trying to get in 12 miles before her dentist appointment at 8.  With school coming up our schedules are getting quite full.  I have spent the better part of today trying to figure out when and where everyone needs to be for the next two weeks.  It is coming together, but my head is starting to throb.  This is really not where I thrive.  I love a little time to just meditate.  I wish I could run with the girls, and maybe I will find a way to schedule that in, but in the midst of this transition week I am living minute to minute.

God is shaking me up and making me get out of my comfort zone.  I would love to grab a book and head to my reading chair, but this is not the time.  I did get in my Bible Study last night, my Bible reading and coffee this morning, and many prayers.  I know the ride will level out and hit a cruising altitude, probably sometime after Labor Day.  I know that someday I will miss these days of having all my kids here and being able to be so involved in their lives.  It is a wonderful blessing to watch them run through the wheat fields in the middle of this harvest season.  The short days of winter are not that far away, then I will be able to catch up on my reading.
