Here's what I know today. I'm tired, unbelievably so. I have a runny nose, and I'm not sure if it's from my allergies or the start of the cold. The latter would be very poor timing considering my stomach flu two weeks ago. My husband is on vacation this week, yet I've had no time to spend with him and I won't be home again tonight. My boss is MIA and work is more chaotic and uncertain than ever. It's freezing in my office, enough so that I feel the need to mention something so superficial. I still have to finish my online traffic school, which I know if my own fault but the first 2 of 6 modules bored me to near unconsciousness. I feel heavy with guilt for not blogging as often as I committed to myself and God, even though I'm 100% certain that God isn't holding it against me...that's all on me.
Here's what I know to be even better truths. It's lunch time and I know a warm walk will improve both my mood and physical well-being. My husband made it home safe from drag racing last night, and my anxious heart is now calm once more. It's almost the weekend--a HOLIDAY weekend at that--so I'll have plenty of time to spend with my husband and our families. I get to see my best friend this weekend for her son's second birthday! Work is just that...work, and it will still be here next week or God has something better planned for me. It's admittedly more peaceful in the office with my boss MIA, even if it does cause other frustrations. There isn't much I can do about the temp in my office or traffic school, but I trust the Lord to give me the time and energy to power through. God came through and provided a means for an outstanding hospital bill that we didn't have the money to pay. Tonight I get to volunteer at a girls group foster home, and I'm delighted to have some new volunteers stopping by to check out the ministry. God has laid on my heart to start doing the good ol' SOAP style bible study/journaling again, and I'm excited to break in my pretty new journal (simple pleasures). A Hobby Lobby opened in Morgan Hill! Okay so that last one doesn't directly affect my spiritual walk, but it's definitely lent to a rekindling of my creative juices...along with Pinterest.
My point is the Lord is faithful. He guides. He provides. He heals. My list of today's "problems" is small when compared side-by-side to my list of today's blessings.
