Hello there again! Two days in a row? Whoa...Something must be really brewing up there, haha...
I feel like my Birthday came a week early this year...For the second day
in a row, my hubby is sending me away from the house to cook up
something fun with the kids for my Birthday. I feel really spoiled. And
grateful. For many reasons :)
And so of all spaces and places I find myself in a Starbucks again with a
venti iced coffee at my side and my little old white MacBook on my lap typing
away my thoughts.
Today was a good day...
The kiddos went to camp for a few hours, and it
was pouring all morning. Instead of running errands, I ended up on the
couch with a comfy blanket...It was one of those mornings when I NEEDED
to stay in and press a "pause" button on the busyness of life. In just 2
hours, I got my Bible reading done, had a wonderful time of prayer,
read a devotional I've been putting off, wrote things down in my
journal, read a few really encouraging blog posts...
NO, my house didn't
get cleaned...And yes, the laundry keeps piling on...but after having
spent that valuable time alone with God, I realized that having a messy
house does not make me a bad wife and Mom. I took care of my spiritual
thirst and hunger, and this morning energized and recharged me like no
fancy super-caffeinated drink can ever do.
No, I am not a lazy and lousy house keeper. I am a "happy home" maker. I
need to be saturated in God's goodness and replenished with His living
truth in order to be the best that I am for my husband and my children,
to make them happy, to make this home happy, and to create happy memories in
it.
So yes, today was a good day.
I feel blessed and grateful.

My scripture reading today was 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
