Jinnae is in bed, Rick is getting groceries, and I just sat outside on the deck with a bowl of popcorn pondering life. As I looked around at my neighbor's homes I thought about how wonderful the people in the homes all are. The children here always say Hi to me. The adults walk, bike and run with me. They come by on the spur of the moment to watch a game, have a campfire, or just chat. They bring back my lawn funiture that blows in their yard. They help us build our seawall, spread woodchips, start the lawnmower, etc. My neighbors understand community and I love that.
I was also thinking about Rick and I's careers, what do we still want to do in life, how do we accomplish those things, where should we live, how can we teach Jinnae even more about God, how can we help others even more? Well, unfortunately, these questions do not have quick answers. So I will wait and listen closely for God's voice and try hard not to let my own desires and selfishness get in the way of His will.
(Maybe I shouldn't eat popcorn alone anymore - it makes me think too much!)

I love reading your thoughts and getting a peek into your mind. I'm glad you're in a great community of neighbors. And it takes thoughts to make any types of change or bringing things to action! Thanks for sharing. Your thoughts remind me of some I have myself.
Have a great last (crazy) month! I know May is always busy. Hope you enjoy. :)
Thanks for the generous comments on my blog the other day. It really meant a lot. I miss you. Maybe this summer can open up some time to get together.

ps. I still have your thank you card from Andrew. It's been sitting on my table for about 3 months now:-)
