Had an amazing day today.
I was blessed to be able to sit at the coffee shop for four hours!!
Not only was I able to sit there for that long but I was able to spend that time with a dear friend...
Awe- conversations that were long overdue were had. Gossip was shared. Tears were shed and smiles were aplenty!
I actually sat next to an old German man. He told me in broken English that he was a POW in France and we helped him. Then he called me his "woman" to his friend. I used my iPhone to google translate the word troublemaker (which for your info is Unruhestifter)...
Hilarious to be sitting in my favorite backerei The BrotHaus... and be able to call him a troublemaker...
On a fantastic side note- a few years ago my BFF and her hubby introduced me to the band Casting Crowns... They have a song called "Somewhere in the middle." I must have listened to that song ten times today... I just had it on repeat. It is a song that makes you think... love it. Honestly- it helps me feel closer to her too...
Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control
Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle
Are we caught in the middle
Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control
Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle
Fantastic... right?
So- details are being worked out for our Christmas trip this year to NC...
Me & the kiddos are flying out there early and Lee will join us middle of December... Well,
talked to Lee today to see if it is ok for us to leave before Hais birthday. I hate the fact that I will be taking Hais away and Lee will not be spending Thanksgiving and Hais birthday with us... but he is ok with it.
So- we will be flying to NC around Nov 23 and stay until Dec 29... awesome!!! I will spend a week in NC and then two and a half weeks in California and then 2 1/2 weeks back in NC.
I am SOOOO excited!
Right now we are trying to figure out our plans for a trip this fall.
I want to go to the island of Tenerife (ten-a-rif-a)... it is the biggest of the islands in the Canary Islands... it is off Spain... our friend Maja told us that October would be a fantastic time to go... we could stay in a 2BR time share for $349 for the week!! Airfare is a little pricey but it is doable... hmmmm... Big issue is that there is no set schedule for Lee's unit... so we cannot plan anything right now- which stinks.
But look at this place- can you see why I am aching to go!
