I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.....

For those of you who don't know I'm planning on going home on the 2nd of December! I will arrive in Spokane on the 2nd and will be around Spokane and Coulee Dam for the next 6 weeks visiting family, friends and reconnecting with my church families in both places. I'm really looking forward to this. I'll try to have a couple get togethers in both places as it's easier for me to not be running around all over during the holidays and I really need this time to be a restful time and a time of refreshing. I have really been feeling burnt out lately and I don't want what God's called me to do here to be out of burn out and necessity. I want God to really move through me and within me and I can't do that if I don't have the proper rest or care that I need. So I'm learning that. It's hard for me because I so love being with people and helping where there needs help but sometimes I forget to be in touch with the Lord and allowing Him to meet my needs as well. I don't want to give out of a dry well. You know what I mean? So all this to say I hope I get to see all of you and hope that you all are doing well as we enter this holiday season filled with good food, good company, lots of family and fun times! Bless you all and thank you for being a part of my life....

I hope your time at home will be so restful and you will get so much quality time with your family and the Lord. Keep me posted on your big get togethers. I hope to be able to come see you.
