One Week

Someone once said," What a difference a day makes." Very true. In Texas, what a difference a few minutes can make when you're speaking of the weather. Just this morning, I awoke to the loud crashing claps of thunder, the steady yet gentle downpour of rain, and my favorite, the lights displayed across the early morning sky. I quickly grabbed my silky blanket :) , a cup of joe in my favorite cup, put on the tunes of Shane and Shane and spent some quality time with the Lord and his display of nature! It didn't take long for the scene to change. And once again that other ball of fire I like so much had taken the place of the rain and the steam set in.

What a difference a week can make too. One week ago today, goodbyes had to be exchanged, not fun. One week from today, I should be laying on a beach, enjoying some time before... one week from the day we return home, we take Julie to ACU... one week from that day, I begin a new career as a first grade teacher and Justin leaves for school... one week from that day I get a vacation day(well almost a week). Days quickly turn into weeks, weeks to months, and before you know it months to years. Individually, some seem really long and some fly by before you know it. I'm not sure which one is worse.. you know the long days and expect that eventually they will get better but the ones that sneak past you? Those may be the hardest to recover from.
Tomorrow is a new day ( and Justin's 22 birthday! yes, I was a very young momma) (VERY)
and with any luck, it will begin with lights.
