I am trying to decide which part of the house I should tackle next. I've been under the weather this week. Cold and all. I finally cleaned up the kitchen. My love dove has been trying to keep it clean, he has been doing such a wonderful job, but he has a lot of homework and work to do, so I made myself clean it this morning. He is away teaching Spanish right now, so it should be a nice surprise for him when he comes home. I think I will tackle the living room next. The floor is a smattering of Persian rug, minty gum, and thank you notes that I have been working on. I hand cut, hand drew them all. We are going to watercolor them next. I am pretty excited about these cute little postcards.
I laid in bed all morning yesterday. I felt awful. Listened to sermons while Nat was at school. God and I had a good talk yesterday. I have been feeling disconnected. All of these spiritual things going on, all of these bills that need to be payed, all these people who need to be pleased. I had a heart full of thankfulness though. All of these pressing matters didn't seem like that big of a deal anymore. That is what happens when you are in the presence of God. Everything just kind of fades off into a depth of field...just like a photograph. If you lack depth in a photo, then it isn't as riveting or heart stopping. Nothing is really exciting about it if you can't feel what is going on in the picture. My sister has been taking these really inspiring photos. Just of flowers, but if you really look at the picture, it comes to life, and for just one second, nothing else matters. God is like that in our lives. He just stops everything, and we can enjoy Him, despite what we are going through, who is discouraging us, and what we have failed at. He is very very good. All the time.
Lots of new ideas have been making their way into this mind of mine. I am going to see what I can do about them.
In the meantime, make sure you take your multi-vitamins and kiss your husbands.
Much love...
ria.
Sweet and beautifully put.
