My family will soon be heading out for a visit to the Smoky Mountains. I can hardly wait! However, there is much to do before we leave. There is laundry to be washed, folded and put away, floors that I really need to clean (I’ve been talking about cleaning those floors for two days now!), lists to be made and packing to do. An even bigger to do list is waiting for my return from this little getaway. I’m not going to think about that just yet. I am really going to enjoy this time away with my family. I hope we can make some precious memories.

I’m also hoping that this time away will allow for some quiet time with My First Love. I look forward to waking up early and slipping away to be with Him. I specifically need to spend some time being quiet and listening to Him. He’s trying to teach me some things. My own thoughts and ideas are so loud sometimes and I miss the still small voice of God. Please pray that I will hear Him.
