Gettin' Smitten With the Mitten

July. Bucket List Item #4:  "Get Smitten With The Mitten" month......

(Before you laugh at this actually MAKING the bucket list - Understand that I have traveled all over the US and all over the world, yet never been north of Frankenmuth!  So this is a big, big deal for me.  Don't judge.  ;)

Off to Traverse City I'll head on Monday morning.  No map.  No plan.  No reservations.  Just me and a bag of grapes, some good music on my i-tunes, and a plan to have some serious one-on-one time with Jesus!

And I see already what He just might be up to.

I've been busy the 1st half of this month "rearranging" my life - Coming off of weekends at work was change #1.   Then, change #2 was quitting my other job.  And a few other more personal life changes, and here I was - feeling heart palpitations - same ones I get when I'm stressed out.

But tonight as I was leaving work, I was reminded through a story from a patient, of why I became a nurse.  And I really feel like this time away is a "mental health" get-away all of a sudden.  I know He has been wanting more of my focus lately - and to rid some of the things in my way-too-busy scheduled life. I'm really, really looking forward to not only getting smitten with the mitten - but spending time alone.  I need to take a big step back again.  He has me doing that often lately. There's a bigger picture.

He's up to something AGAIN, and I can't wait to see what it is...........
