came yesterday. I am soooooooooo excited. It's sitting on my dresser just daring me to pick it up. It's all I can do to leave it there until my trip to Florida. I can't wait to see what she has to say this time around.
In the meantime I will be content with Sue Monk Kidd's

I wish I had found this book two years ago when I was struggling with many of the things she is talking about. Actually, I had it a year ago, but it got lost in the pile on my dresser. I really have to stop stockpiling books. It just adds to my stress cuz I wanna read them all at once. The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine is in that pile. As is Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith by Richard J. Foster. And a myriad of others. I need about a year, and an isolated cottage at the beach to get 'em all read. And then, I need someone to talk to and bounce what I'm learning/feeling off of. And of course, who has the patience for that? Even my closest friends don't have that kind of fortitude!
Still processing stuff from this weekend. And I think it will be ongoing until I really get a good chunk of time to myself to do so. And right now that seems impossible. Every night for a week I have had something I have to do. Three separate high school concerts added to the busy-ness. (Band, Orchestra and Choir) Meetings take time too. I missed one on Monday. I just couldn't bring myself to do one more thing. That night I fell asleep at 6:30. We were not meant to be this busy. Calgon - take me away!
I DO check the comments on my blog--and I'm glad that, even though I wanted the women from the conference to support me on my new community blog, the old one is the one Julie posted. I probably need to keep it up as well.
ReplyDeleteI really understand the imposed break, being an introvert, having confusion over the transitions we all seem to be going through right now. I'm really struggling with the issue of having a call to "worship ministry" which I have always interpreted as meaning "music"--and now finding that God's idea of worship is much bigger than that!
Peace for the journey! It's a joy to know you! --Sarah--
