Case Of The Mondays

Some days just find me a bit off.  Especially those days which go nothing like I planned.  With a family of 7 you can imagine how sickness just kind of meanders its way through out us.  It’s redonkulous.  So days are a little slower and have to be re-worked and re-scheduled and re-figured out.  Sigh.  I’d planned on blogging much earlier today, but hey, 10pm will have to do.

Saturday was April’s Bible journaling class.  I really love these classes.  I don’t know if people are really learning anything or not, but people keep showing up and I keep having so much fun and as long as people show up we’re going to keep raising money to do good together.

Because of this month’s class we’re going to be able to put together a lot of welcoming baskets for ladies entering the Magdalene Houses.  So excited.  And the next class will be Saturday, May 16th from 1-4.  I will post more information this week, but if you would like a spot(s) just send me a message and let me know if you’d like to join us.

Josh Kelley and I had a rare big kids only date Sunday morning at Legofest.  You guys!!!!  I thought Hudson was going to die.  They all love Legos, but Hudson, well he’s out master builder.  He needs no plans.  No instruction manual to follow.  Just give him a tub of Legos and let his little mind and hands go to work.  We all had such a good time and everything was made of Legos and it was so fun being with just the big 3.  They are like the vintage Kelley kids.

I’ve been trying to wrap up orders and I’m still pressing on.  I have been taking little breaks here and there to make some new small canvases.  People have been asking about pricing and honestly, I just don’t know yet.  I’ve actually made quite a few, but I keep finding them appropriate homes.  So I have no idea if I will sell some or not.  Right now I’m just enjoying making them.  We shall see.

And earlier today I watched Gary Haugen president of the International Justice Mission give his TED talk and then for the rest of the day my mind just continued to think about it.  I found myself tearing up randomly.  Truth and facts and compassion and violence.  Please watch.  He just nails it.

 Now to pack some lunches and fold some clothes before hitting the hay.

Peace out Monday.

  1. My husband was just at the IJM annual prayer conference in DC, and his mind and heart are full and speechless at the same time. We have been watching the documentary Half The Sky (in 15 minute increments, like you do with littles popping back downstairs for water or a hug)…it gets under my skin, but in a God way. God is definitely moving, but there is much work left to do. Praise God for the funds you raised for those precious women at Thistle Farms…you are doing that work!!!
