peek at my pad #6


Peek at my Pad #6
Today I am on the outerbanks of Virginia beach, not really an island, but kind of one…………………..
Due to the economy (not good), and my Aunt owning a second home here (FREE), we decided this would be a fine place to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary. My husband and I are enjoying the quiet seclusion this type of atmosphere allows.
I think we have somewhat forgotten life BEFORE kids. We were married 4 years before our oldest came along, but that was quite some time ago. Each morning we leisurely rise, make coffee, chat, all while watching the waves crash upon the shore. It is simple, and beautiful, just what we needed at this time in our lives. If you are wondering how to picture this, think of the current film RODANTHE, set on the outerbanks of North Carolina, house on stilts.
It is at this time we can revaluate where our lives are going. Our children are growing and changing, becoming more independent. What should we be focusing on in our mid-to late 30’s. Today I am praying for direction for the future, and God’s grace on our country.
God is good, Life is hard, I am BLESSED,
Carrie

Oh MAN! What I wouldn't give to be alone with my hubby along the shore in a house on stilts.
And as far as praying for direction and grace... AMEN.
