Palm Trees and Cool Breezes

I'll never forget the layover of a lifetime...I had spent 5 days in the jungles of Panama sharing goods and Jesus with Pastor "Indians" sleeping in a tent bathing in the river and eating great food. We were about to board our plane to come back to the States. We got the "dreaded" news that our flight had been cancelled. Little did we know that at the airlines expense all 17 of us would get our own 2 queen bed room w/balcony, meals tickets worth $24 a meal for two days. It was at the airlines hotel that had an amazing pool area, golf course.
My favorite part about the downtime was sitting by the pool under the grassy umbrella feeling the breeze, sun and view of the palm trees and friends enjoying a game of water volleyball. I read my book for 3 hrs straight no interuptions. The book was about being a wife and mother as a daughter of Jesus. Some of the Proverbs suggestions I could only dream of doing or being one day but with one day at a time I think I can come closer today than I was yesterday.
I want to master the art of beauty, homemaking, mothering, and the gift of being my husbands wife and a Daughter to my Father in Heaven. In the end of this life I want to hear the words well done thy good and faithful servant. I don't want to settle for Sundays only for "church" I want to be the church to a hurting world, my hometown is small on the charts compaired to many, the needs here in our community are great I want to be used to help the weak, tend to the hurting and give to my family the greatest gift...to show them to have compassion for others.
Ive got a few goals in mind...they are working Im excited that results are coming from doing when nothing could have been done. I want the effort I put into it to be laborsome but yet the reward to be as the day I sat and felt the breeze and carefree moment that allowed me to dig deeper into something bigger than myself.
