Beach Mission

We are getting ready to go to beach mission this weekend.  I must admit, I have a bit of a bad attitude about beach mission at the moment.  Well, maybe 'bad attitude' isn't the right term.  I just find it hard to really get 'into it' when I am so busy with my responsibilities as a parent.  My heart and passion if for my family, my home, and I find it hard to stretch myself even further for beach mission. But...God has been gently reminding me (how thankful I am that he is so patient) that there will be many little things I can do.  Just being there to support my husband is a big one, encouraging Sally (who works tirelessly organising the programs), helping my children to feel included, talking to any mothers standing on the fringes...

Anyway, this week has been busy with BMX meets and birthday parties. Today I am going to visit my mum and dad ( in the drizzling rain), then this afternoon and tomorrow I will have to start packing to go to beach mission.  I hope it stops raining tomorrow, otherwise I won't be able to get my washing dry.  And, if I can't get it dry, it will be very hard to pack!

Jesse's fifth birthday is while we are at beach mission.  Then we are having a party for him at the beach the day after beach mission finishes.  Then....our lovely week of holiday together as a family!

Life will be very busy when we get back - my birthday, starting school, awards night, Sophia's birthday, Lauren's party, Abi's dedication...hopefully things will quieten down at the end of February!

I do love this time of year, though.
