These are both from the 4th. One in the morning on the way to work while I was stopped at Starbucks getting a disgusting Vanilla Spice Latte (I didn't know guys! I had high expectations for that drink! It was awful!!!) and one that evening. I love winter! I love the snow. I do. Even though it delays my morning trip to work. I love the way it just blankets everything it lands on in bright white.
Saturday was a day full of really ridiculously good things! Breakfast with my husband, then a couples massage and scalp melt at a spa, followed by some rest, a movie and dinner at BJ's. It was a great day from start to finish.
Sunday was full of laziness. I did manage to pull out one of my Christmas presents and juice my fresh lemon. Rumor has it a big 'ole glass of lemon water is the best way to start off your day. I agree, especially if it is freshly squeezed and followed up with coffee from your Nespresso.
Mondays are rough, am I right? Mine was actually peaceful & during lunch I got study. There was an ever present theme all Monday, from e-mails from a friend, to the verses I ended up studying to the devotional... it was all about trusting God. Let's just be real, sometimes that's hard. It's hard to wait, it's hard not to worry, it's hard to trust for something you haven't heard or seen with your own little eyes... but reassured in various ways I was, that trusting is indeed needed. & better then my own way!
This was a small piece of a devotional I was studying this morning. You have to be careful what you say to The Lord, He will take you at your first word. If that first word happens to be 'teach me patience' hold on to your hat kiddo you're in for a rough ride. If those words happen to be... "Lord, do anything to change me." You just can not prepare yourself. You just gave the Lord permission to mold you however necessary. What a mighty step of faith. What an amazing place to have your heart in.
To be able to say those words and mean it, come what may, you want to be changed by your Maker.
What a beautiful thing.
So with a full heart and a moment of complete bravery and insanity I whispered those words. Lord... whatever it takes, whatever is needed, do anything to change me.
