This year, because of the busyness of changing jobs and putting the house up for sale...I never made it to the lake, and it made me so sad. A few weeks ago, Ronda and I checked out our schedules and pinned down a day to spend at the lake together. So last Friday night, after the concert, I drove to the lake. Ronda and I both arrived about midnight and stayed up until about 1:30 in the morning, curled up in our chairs catching up on life. Oh I have MISSED her!
I slept in Saturday morning...and it was a little chilly when I woke up. But it's okay. A hoodie, blanket and cup of coffee made it ALL better. :)
Ronda totally spoiled me while I was there...starting with cooking me breakfast. What a treat! I never get breakfast made for me!
It was so overcast when we woke up, but that cleared off pretty quickly, and we headed to the deck to enjoy the morning sun...and the water view.
Did I mention how much I'd missed this??
I don't know whether or not you remember this, but last summer, I talked about "Grandma Sue," - a sweet lady from my church who proved to be a magnificent prayer warrior for me in my time of hurt. Well, she also has a place on the lake, and she's been asking me to visit...but it hasn't worked out. So on Saturday, Ronda and I packed up and headed over to Sue Ann's cottage to visit her. I can't even explain to you the encouragement of those almost 3 hours together...it was absolutely wonderful.
Ronda and I ate lunch and then headed out ON THE BOAT!!!!!!
It was a breezy, somewhat chilly day, but the view was MAGNIFICENT.
We anchored in a little cove and sat there for probably 2 1/2 to 3 more hours...just reading and sitting and thinking and resting and....
I actually heard the Lord whisper to my heart for the first time in forever. It was amazing.
Water sparklies...my favorite.
And this is the declaration of a perfect Saturday afternoon.
I'm sorry I only made it up there once this year, but I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. It was spectacular in every way.
