I’m NOT dead!!!!

Arrived home around 8am from one of the most AMAZING weekends I’ve had in a very long time. This was some super God ordained stuff that I needed SO incredibly badly! The only thing I did NOT get that I needed was SLEEP, but that’s okay. I needed the other stuff more!

Left Des Moines at 6pm last night with tornadoes warnings clipping at our heels. We went an alternate route to outrun them, and SUPER glad we did, because we could see the horrific clouds right around the spot we would have been if we’d taken the other route.

Arrived in St. Louis about 11:30 to Amy’s house. I slept on and off for about 2 hours and left out around 2am.

Yes, I am more than a little tired right now.

And thankfully, despite a pretty nerve wracking pastoral premonition yesterday, both Amy and I arrived home SAFE and SOUND and I’m proud to report that we are NOT DEAD! WOOT!!!

(the sermon at our friend’s church was heavy on the subject of death and the reminder that we are all mortals and could die at any moment… needless to say two out-of-towners fixing to roadtrip a combined total of 12 hours with the weather calling for tornados… we were more than a little anxious!!!! Was God trying to tell us something????)

But we did lots of praying (all the while knowing worst case scenario meant we get to see JESUS face to face) and we made it home in one piece! Thank you JESUS!!

I have SO many pictures I could post… but this one is my fav so far.

I love my alleycats. BEYOND blessed to have these fantastic women in my life! I’ll blog a different day about what all God taught me and about the fantastic experience… but you don’t want me being overly serious right now. My brain is pretty much the consistency of cream-of-wheat. Momma needs SLEEP!!!
