What Thoughts?

Yesterday was my oldest child's birthday! I remembered as I do every year on her birthday the awakening to motherhood she introduced me to with her first little cry. Her life continues to amaze me. Of recent I am so aware of her understanding of the Kingdom of God and HIS purposes on the earth. My heart thrills to hear her long for the authenticity of HIM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY #1! Popa and I are traveling to Tennessee for daughter #2 and her hubby. They stayed behind to finish up some house projects and will meet us in Nashville at the airport in a couple of more days. The wind that blows across these mid-nation states is constant and strong, I always forget about how windy Wyoming is. The people here say "if the winds quits blowing they would fall down." As Christians it would be amazing if the wind of the Holy Spiirt quit blowing that our lives would grind to a halt. It is so much easier to travel with the wind then against it. Today we will finish up Wyoming and hopefully Nebraska heading for Kansas City. Popa did the driving yesterday after a fiasco of a morning. I got up early and drove the car to a wand car wash and got Popa a latte. Someone helped themselves to my cell phone and the tires on the car shook so bad we had to stop and have them balanced and the air pressure adjusted. While Popa hung out at Les Schwabs I visited the Verizon store down the street and got a replacement phone. It worked out swell considering we gave up four hours of driving time to get theses things done. The whole time I was talking God, telling HIM I knew HE was in control, that HE orders the footsteps of the righteous and I finally just rested in the fact that I wasn't suppose to be on the road. Our twin grandsons will turn four this next week-end and I hope to find them a gift before their party. Popa and I will be flying home from Nashville so I can't be buying on this trip unless I also acquire a new piece of luggage to haul my purchases in. Life is hectic and yet God is at work in us and for us. Church was powerful on Sunday! God is moving all over the earth and I want to flow with the wind of HIS spiirt. How about you? Love to all, the traveling Nona.
