Sunday Matters: Looking Forward

4 Comments

Is this what people do as they age? Marvel at how fast time passes? We are halfway through May, headed towards Memorial Day weekend and JUNE! Blows my mind. I’m looking forward to the new Top Gun movie. It looks so good! Getting very excited for my daughter’s return on 5/19 as well. Also looking forward to summer reading on the patio and morning coffee dates. I suppose I should start compiling my summer reading list. I did pretty well last year. 

Right Now:

Student ministry is meeting today and we only have a few more regular meetings until we hit summer programming and camp! Yes, I am going to camp this year! I am grabbing some last minute coffee, getting my bag together and I am out the door until later this afternoon.

Reading:

My current read is Nan Rossiter’s new one, A Good Measure. It came out April 12th and Nan has offered me a copy to giveaway so look for that review soon. I am enjoying it a lot. So much so that I find myself rationing it out so I am taking my time with it.

A Good Measure

Watching:

We started Ozark Season 3. I think we are seven episodes in and I’ve been successfully avoiding Season 4 spoilers so far. It’s very good but if I had seen this show before my daughter moved to the Ozarks for school I am not sure I would have backed that idea.

Grateful for:

  • The opportunity to grow in my student ministry efforts. We have an amazing team of people who encourage growth and learning in all aspects of the ministry and it’s been so rewarding.
  • Much needed afternoon naps. I was never a nap person before but they are my new favorite thing.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!

RosesGood morning! This has been a busy week so far. I am looking forward to a slow-down as the weekend approaches. Between additional work duties and me trying to catch-up on reviews, I’ve not had a lot of spare time but I’ve been taking a little bit of time each day to organize and work in my planner. I always feel better when my planner is up to date. These past two years planners were obsolete so it’s taking me some time to get back into a routine. I’ve also returned to my daily walks. The knee is holding up. The roses in the neighborhood are all blooming and very pretty. 

The Girl comes home on 5/19 and will have an array of medical appointments to figure out her recent health issues. She may have a job lined up for the summer too. My son is settling in. Root Beer the cat calls me every night to say goodnight. She is such a doll but has been a little naughty swiping at the phone and attacking my son during the call. It’s funny how her personality is coming out.

The L.A. County Fair is back and going on right now. Usually it’s in September and it’s always hot at heck then. It would be really nice to go now, when the weather is so nice but I’m not sure we can work it in. I will be leading a table discussion at a women’s conference beginning 5/21 so my Saturdays are booked and Sunday is always too busy with church. Do you enjoy the fair?

I am reading a couple of books right now because I forgot that book club is next week so I had to switch to that one in order to get it read in time. But my other one is good too so I keep flopping between the two.

It’s the time of the year where I buy little things for the backyard. Wind chimes, solar lights, that type of thing. I hope to have book club out there so I am getting the patio in order for summer hangs. I purchased this one solar light from the dollar store thinking it was only $4 so if it doesn’t work no big deal but it’s a really cool torch light with a realistic flame. I am going to go back and buy more. Are you getting your outdoor spaces all ready for summer or is it still cold where you are? I’ve seen some snow pics!

That’s all I have. I hope you have a good rest of the week. The weekend is almost here.
