@gritandglory says:
i’m craving me some coffee right now, too!
@traceepersiko says:
sleeping in late, a different job, a good face hug, beverage with late night convo, hiking a 14′e r in Colorado or laying on a tropical beach.
a chai, those little stories with icing, Riot Grande fajitas, movie theater popcorn.
@gritandglory says:
i can take care of #4.
Quiet. Just quiet, with no music going, no kids saying, “Mommy, Mommy!” No husband asking where things are or will I do this with him. No phone ringing. No timer going off to remind me of something I need to do.
I crave quiet, because the kids are peacefully asleep, hubby is satisfied, nothing needs done at that moment, and for just an hour, no one needs me.
Don’t get me wrong. I love being needed and having purpose to my days. But I do crave breaks, every once in a great while, just to be the Katie I was before all of those, and whom I still am in and around all of the above.
@gritandglory says:
i love the way you unpacked that…
full surrender.
quiet.
a vacation.
patience.
@gritandglory says:
a vacation is on my list, too! man, that sounds so good right about now!

although intimacy might always be on there.

A vacation.
Rest.
A God moment.
@gritandglory says:
“a good glass of wine with porch time”. just reading that made me crave it.
and yes yes yes, a vacation would be divine.
to sleep in past 7:35 am
@gritandglory says:
i crave that FOR you!
…wisdom.
and answers.
love; lots of it.
God, friends, family, music, Africa.
I think those are all on my mind all the time.
Dangerous thing to ask a pregnant woman what she is craving! Ha! In two categories …
Food: grape juice, oreo cookies, bread (especially warm and with butter), salty foods, mexican food (I could wolf down nacho’s everyday), ice cream from Chik-Fil-A, cinnamon-raisin bagels but only from Einstein’s Bagels. Ahhh!
In Life: God moments, hearing God’s voice, my family, breathing, a garden, a henhouse, great friends, encouragement, time to read my bible and journal daily (can’t miss that), a vacation, inspiration … I have most of these things. I am blessed. Right now I crave an end to this particular journey we are on. I am sensing a calling to the next thing. I am ready to move on … but, patience, obedience and waiting on God’s timing has more benefit and I desire it more than a too-soon, too-quick resolution where I might miss what God is unfolding. So want to run ahead sometimes.
Love you sweet Alece! Looking forward to a day when I can meet you in person!
@gritandglory says:
…touch.
I guess I first thought ice cream. But if I need to go deeper than that: close friends in my new town. And freedom (in the form of our house selling – you know – since we don’t live there anymore).
Here, here on the consistency. I also crave…
connection in my new city, a church home, more faith and less worry, the ability to “unplug”, and to feel closer to God.
a day off
clarity
uninterrupted sleep, just for 1 night
@gritandglory says:
love seeing you here, Leah!
being with my family and them being comfortable (other way too) with me.
starbucks
having life long friendships
a home church that preaches sound biblical doctrine
knowing that my groom understands how much I love him in his whole being
not getting stuck in perpetual sin
understanding who Christ designed me to be and accepting it
A home–wherever I am
peace
friends
fruit snacks
A huge lawn chair on a big wooden deck a glass of freezing cold sweet tea and a book.
My husband ;(
Understanding and passion for the Lord.
My africa family.
