It’s August…just saying that word makes teachers stress
level increase ten times. But I refuse
to let the stress that I try to keep hidden dictate my here and now…
Because it’s a spectacular morning out and my heart is
filled with joy. Pure blue sky, early
morning, car windows down with pure sunshine warmth, Jesus worship music
blaring, bike on back of car, kayak on top (ok…just a wish on that one, lol),
Caribou Coffee destination ahead, Lake Michigan view off to the side, church
soon, beach time after, and my mind simply spending time pondering. I’m pondering the struggles of life, the joys
of life, and the uncertainties of life. This
week has been filled with them for me.
I’ve struggled to really believe that I can move life forward in the way
that I’ve wanted to. But sometimes
that’s the joy in it all….the beauty that can be found within the struggles of
life. It’s important to take the time to
remember, ponder, and delight in it all.
For me these moments bring pure joy. When I think about my personality and me,
this picture comes to mind. A girl who
loves nature, sun, life, Jesus, coffee, fitness, music, car rides, and
adventure. Add a best friend and really
this would be close to heaven for me.
How often do we really take the time to delight in these
things and simply ponder them. Don’t
forget to spend too much of life making a living and forget to make a life out
of it. J
Psalm 111:2-4
“Great are the works of the Lord;
They are pondered by all who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,And his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered.”
