Set Sail...

Is this really happening? Am I actually going on a cruise? Pinch me if I'm sleeping (or don't...do I actually want to wake up?). 
In 4 days I depart for Florida...then I set sail on Monday on a cruise ship loaded with Beach Body coaches....seriously awesome!
A year ago I was just trying to figure out the day to day...I was just trying to focus on warming up, planting, and doing my daily routine...
Today I am doing the same daily routine...but with an extra pep in my step as well as tug at my heart...
The pep comes from the blessings that have come through the opportunity to serve others as their coach, to meet others that I never would have met...and to learn so much from them about more than just fitness...about life. 
The pep comes from the generosity of my Coach...taking me as her guest on this cruise...and from The Lord who continues to teach my heart more and more about trusting him, relying in him, and thanking him for his many blessings...
Of course I am thankful for this trip! But also for the friendships forming...for the ways he is changing and stretching my heart in the day to day...the appreciation for my husband and all he does to sacrifice and support my family. Thankfulness for my children, the beautiful blessing they are that make each day full....I would never want it any other way! The thankfulness in my friends who are excited and support me and dress me :) for this special occasion. 

There is also a tug at my heart. To let go...to leave my family for a week. To let go of control. To let go and trust and believe and rely on my husband 100%. My friends and family 100%. To rely on this grace will stretch me to find greater reliance on The Lord, greater respect and love for my Husband , greater love and respect for my children and greater love and respect for my team...
By leaving The Lord is revealing to me how much he cares and how much he takes care of...
It's NOT all about me...it's about the Freedom that comes from setting sail...

So here I go! I'm off the grid! Please pray for me! I will share when I return! Pray for the hubs and kids...especially the hubs! See you soon!
