Happy Moments
Praise God
I've come to find myself trying to constantly love and embrace the tiny happy moments...- the way the sun illuminates the plants and flowers on the farm
- a smile from a stranger
- bear hugs from good friends
- Skype dates with loved ones
- phone calls with parents
- laughter in my work space
- beautiful 70 degree weather in January!
Seriously, Thank you God for blessing us all with tiny happy moments. Challenging myself to seek, love, and embrace these moments is what recharges my spiritual, emotional, and physical health.
I am happy, and that's an incredible blessing.
Difficult Moments
Seek God
Right now, I am extensively seeking out God. With the end of my US2 term near in sight, trying to decide what the next step is (and taking the time to embrace what is left of Miami)... is well, quite difficult. - Seminary?
- School?
- Finding another job.... Blah
- Leaving those that I love in Miami
- The start of yet another chapter of life
Seriously, Seeking God is crucial when making the next step in my life. Its extremely scary, wonderful, exciting, and difficult to move forward... But I know my heart will guide me to go to the places I need to be. Till then, lots of prayer, and lots of reading Ephesians 3:14-21 and Romans 12, 13, 14, and 15.
Quiet Moments
Worship God
Finding that time to calm my mind, and focus on our beautiful God. Its been a while since I have found something that allows me to actually worship God. Funnily enough, it is in the quietest of moments...- Painting
- Drawing
- Reading my Bible (Yes! That really happens!)
- Sitting outside on the farm
- Music (though it is not silent, it still allows my heart to be quiet.. Thank you God for music)
What would the world be without quiet? Madness....
What would the world be without worshiping God? Madness....
Painful Moments
Trust God
God knows the painful moments that we each have experienced. No need to list those.I have learned (significantly) how to trust God... because the pain can sometimes hurt so bad that there is nothing else you can do for yourself. But somewhere deep down, even when we may be at rock bottom, we trust that God will bring us back up from the bottom.
I love that God has got my back.
Every Moment
Thank God
Seriously, Thank you God. It is not hard to love God. It is not hard to be loved by God.
It is the most pure, beautiful, absolutely wonderful feeling I have ever come to know.
Thank you God for pumping our hearts full of love each day, providing us with a life that we deserve to live to the fullest, and being faithful to us no matter what.
Thank you God for being beautiful.
Amen.
