Today is full. Laundry and housecleaning and a few errands and a haircut. School and packing.
Not to mention getting dressed up and going to see Little House on the Prairie tonight. Melissa Gilbert is playing Ma. And did I mention it's a musical? I love musicals! And LHOP! And the theater!
Toben and I are headed up to the mountains tomorrow morning until Monday night for our weekend of counseling.
I'm not sure what to expect and am swinging between dread and longing. I trust it will be good. I'm certain it'll be hard. And I really, really don't want to spend the weekend crying, but have a feeling I just might. I've felt a little (okay, a lot) raw this week and have yet to really get it all out.
Your prayers wouldn't be wasted.
My laptop is staying behind, though I've set the Spiritual Mothering post to publish automatically. I'll be back Tuesday...
Have fun at LHOP! J and I talked about taking the kids to see it in Denver and we dropped the ball! ;(
My friend saw it in Little Rock and said it was GREAT. And that Melissa Gilbert is very approachable and was happy to take pics with the audience. You should go for it...your girls would LOVE that!
Hope your weekend away is good. My experience with counseling is that it's hard beyond belief but so worth the work. And God surprised me in so many ways through my experience. May He surprise you as well! Blessings, friend.

Been totally covering y'all in prayer for a good two weeks now, so it should all work out ;)
Will continue to pray. And keep y'all in my heart.
I hope that you both are surprised...
Love you, girl. Will miss your tweets and posts and emails and texts while you are gone but I know...KNOW...that God is going to do some incredible stuff this weekend.
