Whew-- What a weekend!

This weekend went by in a blur! I was gone all weekend recording-- Then Saturday night we had just enough time for Scott and I to say "Hi" before he was gone! My parents came up and Mary Kate and Anthony came over and that was nice... Sunday, I was gone to rehearse and got home just in time for Scott to leave to go catch a plane to Chicago! He won't be back until late Wednesday night-- Life can get so crazily busy sometimes!
Luke is still doing great! We were shocked Saturday morning when he slept until 8:00! He usually gets up at 6:00 to eat and then goes back to sleep until 8:00ish but that Saturday he slept straight through. He has now started to fall into a pattern of sleeping until 7:00, which is still great-- no complaints here! Life seems so normal and manageable when you are getting plenty of sleep-- especially after the first two months of having a newborn!
So, Luke and I are just hanging out the first part of this week while Scott is gone. He is such a sweetie-- we'll have fun like we always do-- going to the Y and playing.
Yesterday at church I was asked to be a part of a panel for a women's special Sunday school class. It is a panel representing women and different life stages of their spiritual journey-- I am the "young new mom", I guess. I am still trying to figure out myself what my new ministry in life can be. It used to be easy-- teacher, mentor, singer-- and I realize that staying home with Luke is important, but I am hoping God will give me a new idea as to where I can best use my talents for him. I haven't been able to come up with anything on my own yet that I feel will really make a difference.
There is a big part of me that feels the need to be "fed" myself spiritually right now-- to take a break from the "teaching" and to be "taught." I also hope God will speak to me in regards to this, too.
He did answer my prayer Sunday-- I had been wrestling with something all weekend and just couldn't let it go. Sunday morning I woke up still bothered by it, and I asked God to show me something at church that would help me. Well, the whole sermon was directed right at me! Every word fit my situation exactly! I had to stop and laugh at how God works sometimes! He is good! :)
