to spend the weekend with a bunch of strangers.
and make crafts.
hmmm. sounds a little crazy, doesn't it?
i admit, it did feel a little crazy, even as i made my way through packed airports and in and out of airplanes, it still felt a little crazy.
i prayed on the plane, over and over again.
i reread parts of crazy love and tried to quiet my insecurities.
i rested my eyes and listened to ray lamontagne ease my worries.
kimberlee was waiting for me at the airport.
she greeted me with a shy little wave and a HUGE smile. lots of hugs and a couple tears later, and all was right with the world.
instantly, i felt at home--even with a room full of strangers.
crazy, i know.
but isn't that just how this world works? sometimes strangers can feel like old friends, friends can feel like sisters, and lives can become instantly connected.
and while i'm having the hardest time finding the words that i really want to say about this weekend, i guess what i need to say, first and foremost, is 'thank you'.
thank you to meg for being a gracious and adorable host, for thinking enough of me to include me in this amazing group of women that i respect and love immensely.
much more to come as i wade my way through my thoughts and emotions.
oh, and don't forget about the crafts! i'll be back soon enough.
