Community...

Water is falling from the clouds for the third day in a row. It's beautiful! We so despately need it and my soul is feeling refreshed. The grey days take me back to our days back home. As much as my skin longed for Vitamin D it thrived in the grey and mist too. 

My heart needed these days. 

Rumor has it the next couple days could bring clouds in and out as well and I'm excited. While being taken back for a moment to a life that is not far gone, but feels like a lifetime ago, I am reminded of simpler less busy times. Times where days on end we had nothing going on but the family time of just the 5 of us. Don't get me wrong, times now are filled with the authentic community and fellowship of doing life with everyone God has brought into our lives and it's great, but I miss the quiet grey days.The days of exploring and free to get up and go with a clear calendar. Days of just sitting and listening. 

Funny how seasons come and go and the roads God leads you down. His knowing what is good for you and what you need for this period in your life. 

Why do we always try chasing what we think we are to have or want when he keeps bringing something else to our feet saying, "No, this is what you need right now." 

The doing life... That's what he wants for us. 

Yes, he wants us to sit and be just the 5 of us at times but he also wants us to establish roots. That comes from authentic community and as much as I long for the days of old sometimes, and feel crazy busy more often than not, these days have been so fulfilling. Spiritually refreshing and amazingly real. 

So, although this space seems to be laying dormat I am not gone. 

God just has me living life outside of the cursor currently.
