Ahhh...I'm sipping a root beer float watching my baby sleep peacefully in the video monitor, working on Children's ministry teaching schedules and typing up notes from a my very part time CWS job. I just did a quick clean up of baby toys, washed the dishes and scrubbed the sink. I slept in this morning and feel rested, and am anticipating a family date night (hopefully including a very special friend!) to Avila farmers market tonight. I have a smile on my face. I am content. I'm happy. I'm filled with joy!
I am living the life I dreamed, and couldn't feel more blessed. I am married to the man of my dreams, have the sweetest baby on earth, live in a house that feels like home...what more could I want?!
Recently someone asked me if I think I will live on the Central Coast forever... like it was a bad thing. They asked "don't you ever feel the need for change? for something new?" For a little bit, I actually thought I was boring for thinking no. I even felt a little embarrassed. I thought about this conversation for a couple of days. I wondered if I was dull for not craving change. Instead I came to a conclusion and a realization that I'm not dull, boring, or adventureless...I feel fulfilled! I have no need to desire something different or new when I feel everyday that I am walking in God's will for my life. Who knows what the future will hold for us, and if we did someday feel God telling us to go somewhere I have no doubt that we would. But for now, for today, this feels great.
"Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight" Psalm 43:3-4
