I’m writing this blog from the floor while my toddler stacks rocks dangerously close to our WiFi router. I’ve calculated how long this can go on before a disaster strikes, so I’m using my time wisely.
We’ve had a long series of late nights this week. Church events. Help Club meetings. All the good things we’ve prayed into for years. AND we’ve started some 18-month sleep regression shenanigans. (To be honest, this floor-rock-router situation is me resting up the next activity.)
As the last work day of the week dawns, it’s tempting to have a “get through it and crash” mindset. For me, if I live every week and every Friday that way, I miss all the good stuff.
During our longest, busiest and most taxing week of ministry in a long time, I worked a little mom magic behind the scenes. I found childcare and booked a table at one of our favorite restaurants, throwing “get through it and crash” out the window in exchange for “Celebrate God’s faithfulness and end this week with a steak!”
Get out your beard wax, Chris Ladd. WE ARE GOING ON A DATE!! We’re going to mark some moments, eat an amazing mushroom appetizer, and have a meal without kids that somebody else cleans up!
I’m so thankful for a family that keeps us busy, amazing ministry growth, and the ones that give so we can go on a date night!
It is now time to remove the toddler and the rocks. Happy Friday! Thanks for reading!
