Dreaming and Being Crafty.

This was an odd weekend for many reasons. Number 1. My great grandma died, so I had to go to her funeral. Which was weird. And kind of hard. What made it really hard was that it was the 2nd funeral I had to go to within a 2 month time span, because my grandpa died in August. But this isn't supposed to be a sad post. SO, it won't be. (And for my friends who KNOW me that are reading this, I am not pushing it away. I really am OK. I love you for knowing me and loving me well, though.) Number 2. We went to visit my grandma who is sick. It was a really fun time just to rest there and be with my mom, my sister, and my grandma. It was a pretty relaxed time together, which I know that I really needed. Number 3. I had one of the strangest dreams of my life. There were friends, and flowers, and zombie-ish creatures. I am still not really sure what to do with it. And last but not least, Number 4. I spent my Friday night doing crafts all by myself. And it was SO GOOD. It was absolutely exactly what I needed. I made 5 scarves, 3 flannel and 2 out of a t-shirt, (3 of which are being shipped to my friends), and I painted a t-shirt for a friend. It was such a good night for me to rest and be alone. I am absolutely the kind of person that THRIVES on alone time. Without it, I am not very pleasant and last week, I had not really gotten any and needed time to process. So, what did I do? I made scarves. And it was lovely. Twas all around a pretty jolly weekend, though. Which ended with a random trip to Maryville to use a coupon :)

But for real life. The past few days, God has been challenging me to DREAM. Woah. It's almost as if he is whispering to me, "Princess, what do you want? What is it that you desire? And do you believe that I placed those dreams in you and am big enough to make them come true?" Yikes. Do I believe that? I want to. With my whole heart. But do I? Do I really believe that? How would the way that I live my life be different if I actively walked in that? Thats where my head and heart are. Maybe later this week you will hear some of my dreams, because they are very heavy on my heart. But for now, it is bed time. Goodnight world!
