Friends

I had the pleasure of joining my girls for lunch today. One last kid-free pow-wow before the end of the school year. We are such a diverse group. Different religions, different life experiences, different views on politics...but we blend so well. I enjoy the conversations and how much we learn from each other. I appreciate each friend for her unique personality. We're tight knit. Like a mob of mamas. Don't get in the way of what's important to us. We stick together and make stuff happen.

All in all a great day. I'm thankful for my girls. :)

Here's the thing...

Move. Even if you're unsure of the path you take, take the first step. At least you'll be doing something. The worst thing you can do is sit and stagnate in your uncertainty. No one can tell you which way to go. No one can tell you what you need. We can only support you once you've made that decision. Don't waste seconds; don't waste breath. Move. Just move.

At His Feet

Tonight I felt this overwhelming need to get alone with God. Sometimes when I'm weary, just spending a few minutes with Him restores me. See, I think we get too busy sometimes. We push ourselves at home, at school, and even at church. We stay so busy that we lose that one on one time with our Creator. At least, I know I'm guilty of it.  So tonight I just sat at His feet, and talked to Him. He heard my deepest thoughts. He heard the things that I've kept locked away from the world. I don't have to be strong in front of Him, for He is my strength. I don't have to have all of the answers, because he guides my path. Every good thing flows from Him.  His love covered me with forgiveness and grace. His peace gave me rest.  He reminded me of where I belonged...at his feet.
