it's not you soflo, it's me.

Time to go.

I'm going home for my cousin, Monica's wedding this week and it couldn't come at a better time.
I am very much looking forward to being with family and celebrating.

I need a little break from SoFlo and the craziness down here.

Cheers to love and family!

"When it is hard, or you are doubtful...give more." - Francis Chan

Ugh. I wish that was not hanging over my head as I sit in my office. No, literally...that quote is written on the huge board that sits directly behind me as I work at my computer.

Today may I...

be faithful when others are unfaithful.
persevere when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.
love when others are just plain unlovable.

It is Monday after all I suppose, eh?

Give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
Psalm 30:8

Just in case you were wondering, I have about 4 drafts saved of posts I wanted to make, but none of them have felt quite right.

Ha. Sometimes I don't always have something to say. Shocking, I know.
Nonetheless, if you're still checking in here occasionally, I have decided I want to pick it back up a little more regularly.

I've currently been learning the value of really investing where my feet are planted, something I've prayed for over the years.

I have not been able to get the following thoughts out of my head. Chew on this for awhile...

You don't leave a legacy by being famous among many people. Your legacy is left with those people who were closest with you, those you invested in.

When you see the time you have left, you get serious about the time you have now.

Be present with the few. 

You can't do everything. Focus on what you can do.

Grow where you're planted.

[many of these concepts came from a conference I recently attended on working with families/youth]
