lazy day

The hubby is not feeling well today. I am catching up on emails and looking at about 6 loads of laundry! Today I just wish I could wave a wand and magically the loads would get washed and folded AND put away ;o)
Reality sets in, my brain says "GET UP" and my body says "no just sit here and play on the computer!
See you soon. . . . .

I love the quiet, still, peaceful ambiance of the early morning. Waking up to the scent of Hazelnut coffee brewing. . . .flipping through the pages of my most treasured asset----my Bible-----tuning my ear to the voice of my Savior. . . .this is the LIFE. I am sure in about 30 minutes there will be a tug on my leg, a diaper to be changed, breakfast to be made, laundry to be folded. . . .for now I just sit back and praise Him for all that He has entrusted me with. To love Him with my whole heart, my soul, my mind THAT is my heart's desire. My failures, my bad attitude at times, my anxious moments none of that keeps Him from still loving me. . .to be loved like that. . .so dearly. . .so unconditionally. . .so intense. . . .WOW. . .how I desire for each of the readers of this blog, for my family, for my friends, gee wiz I wish that I could stand on a mountain top and shout out to the world how much God loves us IN SPITE of who we are.

Yes. . . .mornings like these are what remind me to stay focused, to stay the course, not to give up. I press on as Paul once wrote. . .this week I stay the course praying for the Lord to enlighten me, to grant me His Wisdom, to surround me with like-minded individuals who seek after His knowledge NOT religious rules and regulations. I pray diligently to guide my girls in His path, I seek to embrace my husband as I long to be embraced, to be patient as we go through this trial knowing that this too shall pass. How can I be a blessing to someone today? Who will I have the chance to minister to? How will the Lord use me today?

Here I am Lord. . . . .use me. . . . . . .off I go to face another glorious day!
