Well vacations are always awesome and for how long it seems like it takes for them to come they are over that much more quickly. Tonight is our last night and early tomorrow morning we will be hitting the road to come home. Seems like we have been gone for much more than a week. It will be good to get back and hit the ground running. As I wrap up this Project of Joy while on vacation I realize how hard it is to have joy in all I do. I admit it to be painfully difficult to include God in on everything, all my decisions. Though I have sensed I have taken significant steps in my faith and my walk with God while here in Gatlinburg. Something I can honestly say hasn't happened on vacation that much before.
I do sense that I have a greater awareness of His work in my life. I fee like I am able to hear him more and sense where he is heading. However I still have much work to do with my patience with my children and family. I look forward to allowing God further into everything in my life and seeking Him more fully in as many decisions as I can. I do believe that though I have not reached all my goals that it is intended that I celebrate the ones God did work in me. I blame nobody else but myself, but also know that in God's eyes I am not a failure but his child who is dearly loved and who has access to the fullness of his joy. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
Walking together,
Your Dreaming Pastor

Thanks for sharing your thoughts this week. It's been cool to hear this from lots of different venues. (Sunday morning, MyPlace, the Blog) Even though some of the topics and concepts are the same, it seems to take a different light when you hear it repeated in different places like that. God seems to reveal himself in subtle little ways each time. Awsome stuff!!!
