TODAY

Today I have been thinking about how blessed I feel and how much I love this life that the Lord is allowing me to live.  I have loved the big things that God has done for me this year (see previous post), but it's really the small, every day things that really just get me tickled and set my feet to dancing before Him.  Like, today I was thinking about how thankful I am that I am in a season of resting right now.  My life may not seem restful to some because I do work late at night hours.  But really, I think that I am sleeping more hours every night now than I ever have before.  It's amazing to wake up in the morning and feel like I have done all the sleeping that my heart desires (which, for the record, is A LOT).  I have also been thinking about the fact that I have been less domestic this year than ever before.  I rarely cook, I am not cleaning as often, I don't bake, etc, etc.  Normally I would feel a little guilty for such things, especially looking around at all of the holiday baking and treat making that some friends are doing.  However, I was just really thanking God today that I am in a season where I can choose not to be so vigilant about such things.  How happy am I right now that I basically have to do ONE load of laundry and ONE batch of dishes per week!!??!!!  I ask you, will I ever be in such a wonderful season of life again?  Incredible really.  So today I am relishing, soaking up, drinking deep, and just loving this wonderful life.
