Needing to Slow My Pace

Just a bit anyway. I thought I would have more time to share but things are still rolling along at a fast pace. I think I will deliberately, intentionally, choose to slow my pace. We have had much going on. Our oldest son married at the beginning of June. I "renewed" a vanity for his new wife for her birthday. It took much more time than I expected ~ lots of pieces! Sadly, my husband lost an uncle so we had a funeral to attend. I was very excited when we had baby birds hatch in a nest on our front porch. Three little ones. Unfortunately, the babies did not make it. We are not sure what happened to them. We found one out of the nest and on the porch one day and a few days later there was no sign of the other two. After a few days I knocked the nest down and there were the other two. So sad. I have decided to open a booth in an antique mall along with my sister-in-law and a young lady that I met several years ago. I have been spending a lot of time preparing! A LOT of TIME. We are suppose to move our things into the booth on the 16th of this month. I need to get all these things out of my house. I told my husband that we were beginning to look like Sanford & Son! My body is tired, my brain is tired ~ I need to rest! I hope to share some pictures of some of the items I have been working on and maybe of our booth. For now I need to go to bed and get some sleep. Blessings to all.

P.S. ~ I have an unspoken prayer request for a family member. Please pray for God's mercy and His will to be done. Thank you.

Dear Patty ~ You have been one busy lady...hang in there! The pace will slow....

Your antiques booth sounds lovely...it would be wonderful to see your handiwork when it works into your schedule. :)

I will be praying for the unspoken request. The LORD knows and hears.

In HIS Love,
Camille

I hope things slow down a bit for you. I am very guilty of saying, "Sure, I can do that," only to find out my plate is too full. I hope you get it all worked out.
