"Wakey, wakey Aunt Karen! Can't you see that it's becoming light outside? Please, wake up, I want to snuggle and talk with you."
How could I resist saying "no" to my niece? I rolled over and checked the clock. 7:10 am on a super cloudy, rainy day. Kylee jumped up into the bed in the spare room and chatted with me about school, Disneyworld, planes, and alligators. A half hour later we headed upstairs for breakfast before Jaxsen (her brother) and Kylee left for school.
It has been a blessing to visit my brother Dennis and Alysha for the night!! I HAD to visit since I was in the area. Yesterday I was in Elmira meeting with my International Teams Canadian family. I walked into the office with a very pink suitcase full of books and photo albums to share with the IT staff. I spend the whole day in meetings - with financial expense and receipting, member care, donor services, and shared lunch with anyone who was in the office that day. After lunch I was able to share about the volunteer work I hope to do in Soroti, Uganda, and the team prayed with me. Once again, I feel like I am on the right track to being prepared for the long-term mission field.
But for this moment, I shall make my bed, collect "Bones" (my bear) from Kylee's bed, and head for home. A grey day for a drive.
