Autumn is here! Or at least the Arizona equivalent. I love being able to wear boots, and scarves, and drink cups of piping hot tea without needing a fan.
I planted a ton of flowers a few weeks ago, and now have planters and pots all over my balcony, full of beautiful flowers. For some reason the process of watering them each morning is very therapeutic and calming.
I got my fundraising packet, for Thailand, from Wheels for the World the other day. I’ve already written my fundraising letter, but I want to get my Ghana application in before I send it out. I can’t wait for next year! I need to go somewhere, travel, do something. You would think after being gone over 14 weeks of this year I’d no longer have the wanderlust. But it’s hard being home. I love the routine, the comfort, being with my family, but at the same time it’s hard. It’s the whole seeing other people’s pain on top of your own. And just the general every day stress feels ten times worse. The little things, for some reason, are so much harder.
But that much sweeter too. I treasure the moments. Taking the three little people to the park, long hugs from my sisters, the “I love yous”.
God is good, all the time.
That picture of your flowers makes me happy! So beautiful.
Jasmine, you are an inspiration. I’m glad God is washing you in goodness, despite it all. I want to say something here, but I just can’t find the words. Oh well. He is good!
*hugs*
