Dates: February 21-27, 2022
This little town was very peaceful. I chose it specifically to get caught up on work. There isn't much to see so I won't be tempted to go exploring each day.
While waiting for my check-in time at the cutest little rental on a quiet road, I found a coffee shop with a big porch overlooking a lake. I changed my MG Graphics pricing and processes back in January and have yet to implement them on my website (as of this writing on May 23, it's still a work in progress). #cobblerskid
My clients come first! 🤷🏻♀️
Back to the scenery. It was warm enough to only need a light jacket as I sipped my pumpkin latte. I resisted the craze for so long. I now get the addiction to pumpkin spice everything.
During the week I did manage to run a few times with the sunrise.
And I even spotted some cattle! As a girl from the country, seeing livestock pulls at my heartstrings a bit.
By the end of the week, I'd made friends with my hosts who invited me to Sanford's Annual Porch Fest. A dozen homes with porches volunteer to have bands throughout the day. The streets shut down traffic. Food trucks are strategically placed. It was a fun event!
I even made a friend from Kansas! Not a KU fan myself, but when you see something familiar so far from home, the battlelines get blurry.
The Church
A few reflections from the masses I attended at Nativity Catholic Church:
Challenges are necessary to grow. (Timely, since this week I had a challenging work conversation to manage. And it took all I had to keep my mouth shut and smile instead of telling the lady where she can take her opinions.)
All things are possible for him who believes. Mark 9.23
Catholic Guilt is an indication we have more of our heart to give to Jesus.
To what extent did we protect ourselves from COVID? Do we treat sin the same way?
And a reminder to invite God into all of my plans!

The Streets had us all over for a very delicious home cooked meal. I haven't eaten with friends since Pensacola so I looked forward to this all week! The food was good, but the conversation was spectacular. These souls are faith-filled inspirations and just what my heart needed to refuel.
