living in the here and now is hard for me.
i am a planner.
and i married a planner.
together we make two, good, little planners.
i have to remind myself that God gives us a season for everything.
He has given us this season for a reason.
that i can rest in this. and stop striving.
trying to reach the next season on my own.
so, for now i can just learn to relax and enjoy it all.
the snow days.
decorating our first home.
trying to learn to love tea versus coffee.
grocery shopping with my husband.
sitting by the space heater, wrapped in a blanket.
not having children. yet.
the peace of our home when i am the first one up.
making new friends.
taking long naps.
learning to ski.
cooking and baking in our tiny kitchen.
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens
Ecclesiastes 3:1 and a season for every activity under the heavens
thank you Jesus.
we don't have to reach the next season on our own.
there IS a time for everything.
and you will bring that everything to us.
in your time. not ours.
tea not coffee? why?
ReplyDeletei've had to switch to decaf so stella isn't up all night. so sad. but probably good for me. enjoy your time without kids. because they are awesome. but once you have them, you can't go back!
