I’ve been told distance can help a realationship grow deeper. I believe sometimes that can be true. But truth be told, it’s hard to be apart from the one who you call “best friend”
Jess and Al, Mom and Son, living in the north, with all its wonder and beautiful majesty. But today I miss them (I miss them everyday) I try not to think about it but rather keep my mind busy with my job, chores and an evening sit with friends. My heart is up there! My mind wanders around looking for occupation! I have a countdown for that last day down here, I make plans in my head and constantly reprioritize my future projects. Today I received a blessing from a great guy, he gave me the transite I borrowed last year when I was working in the yard in Chan, I have a huge need for this tool upnorth and now it’s one less thing to “plan”.
Gods blessings keep pouring in and we are so grateful for all and any help we get. Kj and Misti are a major blessing as well, they do so much for us and ask for nothing but friendship in return! How can we not find gratitude when we are so blessed? And yet, discontent still has a foothold as I “want” so much to be where my wife is.
This weekend is a work weekend in Chanhassen for me, it’s my last time to be “on-call” and my plans are to move dirt, prepare the yard for a fire pit and soften hills so a mower can manicure the weeds that are sure to follow. Jacob is headed up with a load of bicycles and give Jess a chance to escape into a world of adult women at a “women’s church event” it’s not much, but it’s all I can do for now.
Ive made that drive so many times, it seems to be like a drive to the store now. My two oldest sons will be visiting soon, the first time they will see the new place that we will be calling home, my blessings are abundant and knowing you are in prayer makes things so much easier.
Genesus 1:1 starts with “in the beginning, GOD…” and I’m reminded that without GOD, there really can be no “beginnings”
btw, anyone have a tiller? Tractor? Any thing to help us start a garden? Lol, God will provide in HIS timing, I trust in HIM.
