Spirit renewed

After a really frustrating time last week I had a really enjoyable weekend.

On Friday evening I went a women's event at our church called Clearing the Clutter. We had two wonderful speakers. She was one of them. It really got me motivated to want to work on decluttering our home. To be quite honest it is a real source of embarrassment for me. I have one room (the first room that people see when they walk in) that I can never seem to get under control. So I have decided to join Crystal at Biblical Womanhood as she goes through Spring Cleaning for Normal People. It starts tomorrow in case you want to join also.

On Saturday night R and I went to an amazing concert. It was so much fun to get to spend time with him and we had a great conversation on the way home.

On Sunday morning we headed to church. After church on the way home our van started acting strangely. We got gas and when we left the gas station the transmission didn't seem to want to go. We drove it up an incline and pulled into a parking lot. I am not quite sure what is wrong with it because we were really not having problems with the transmission at all. It is really quite odd. My father-in-law came and drove us home. I called my cousin and he is going to check it tomorrow and see if he might be able to fix it. If not I will probably have it towed back to our town and have it looked at.

On Sunday evening I went back to church by myself for our church's annual Vision Desert. They talk about the goals for year and we eat dessert. Yum! It is really exciting all the plans the leadership has for this year.

After church I went to the grocery store to buy food for 16 wrestlers for tomorrow night. I think bought what I would buy to feed my family for a week. :)

So it was actually a really great weekend despite the car incident. The funny thing is that people have told me today that I have an optimistic attitude about it. I really think that has come from getting to spend so much time at church and around so many wonderful people this weekend.

Things definitely may not be perfect in our life but we have so much to be thankful for.
