I'm so looking f...mmmm... thanks, Christianne.<br /><br />I'm so looking forward to that week of sanctuary in your home. About the chance to spend a week of rest and loved and intentional conversation with you, Kirsten, Sarah, and Terri. The reminder of that week to come is quite literally something that brings a smile amidst some of my hardest days of juggling just now. The soul friendships that are springing up among us are something that leave me somehow in awe every time I pause to consider the way we've been connected by Jesus, and the pieces of His heart that we each carry within us. I love the way those sorts of friendships inherently create space, and I've been so thankful for the ways each of you has already done that for me.<br /><br />Much love! and lots of hugs!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921826593766725264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340626.post-74816763534734468212012-07-04T01:22:36.803-06:002012-07-04T01:22:36.803-06:00Oh, my friend. I've just had a chance to come ...Oh, my friend. I've just had a chance to come here and read this post, and I'm struck by so many things for you. <br /><br />I know how important a slower tempo with lots of space is for you, and I'm struck by your willingness to take the path you are, even though it is so demanding. I'm so thankful that you have more tools and support around you to walk through the difficult demands of juggling school and work than you have in previous seasons of juggling them, and I'm struck by your strength and determination, even in the midst of this very real struggle and tiredness. <br /><br />I'm thinking about the week we will share together in this house of mine -- this place of sanctuary and stillness, this place of refuge. I feel so thankful that you are going to come here and be able to receive that sanctuary and stillness. I want to be intentional about making it a place of restoration and rest and grace and peace while you are here. It is going to be such a gift to me to offer that to you during that time, here in this space. <br /><br />And I'm glad to share a kinship with you in the needing of that kind of space and quiet. It helps me know that your coming here is really graced. xochristiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278757714101308785noreply@blogger.com
