**Mustard Seed Distributed**

Sixteen years ago today, in the great state of Michigan, it was 99 degrees outside.  (Or thereabouts) Hottest day of the year they say.  And it was a glorious day.  People always told me "you never forget your wedding day", and I never really knew what they were saying.  But today, 16 years later, I can remember nearly every minute detail of the day.  And included in each of those moments is a sense of pure joy.  You may know that I am somewhat of a dreamer, a visionary type if you will.  I have come to learn that this is what drives me to lead others, and pushes me to be my best at work, at home, and in my life.  I knew for certain I wanted to be with my superstar - early.  I had inclings along the way, but in 1992, I pushed for it.  In 1993 we had our first date, and the rest, as they say, is history.  This incredible Godly woman has changed my life in ways I never saw coming in my visionary picture of us being together.  ...

I mentioned in my last post that much time transpired between blogs - and one reason that was happening was because I felt uncommitted to writing a blog as I pondered many 'unknowns'.  I have come to a great realization that I personally enjoy the visionary lifestyle.  I want to see what things will look like way down the road.  I want to see my daughters in successful lives married to great Godly men, my marriage with superstar 10 years from now even more beautiful than today, my work broadening and seeing what and how I might be impacting and influencing leaders of schools, etc.  But this week I was encouraged by God and others to focus on today.  This moment.  God is quite comfortable with all those unknowns, and he wants me to be too.  Pastor (female, not male) reminded me yesterday that this is a trust issue.  Do I truly trust God with all the unknowns?  My answer must be - not so much.  I do know I trust Him completely, but time...

Hard to believe it has been over a month with no posting for me. I have had so many thoughts of 'oh, I need to blog that', or 'that is a blog post', or what eVAR. Truth be told, I have been lazy about it. I know, I know. Hard to believe. A lot has passed since then. I traveled 5 of 6 weeks in April/May, and that probably has a lot to do with no posting. Just didn't have the energy, and the time I did have I wanted to spend with the kkft or I knew that God was pushing me to engage with people - not myself. A lot going on: 1) I have a new supervisor, and our company is ramping up leadership development. This is a good thing in my eyes, and I have a lot of respect for our new boss. Also means that the Aussie and I are still on the same team - thank you God for a gift of another year working together. Also have another person joining our team - and she is awesome as well. I find it quite interesting that everyone on our new team is a Jesus follower. I wonde...
