Blessed

Today seems to have the same vibe as many other days that have come before this one. Though my daily tasks were pretty normal - cook, clean, laundry, groceries - the same feeling remains - I am blessed beyond words. I am blessed that Jonathan is a thriving, handsome, growing toddler. I am blessed that Joshua is a healthy, working, committed husband. I am blessed that I have my heath, family, and job. So many times I think we don't have enough money, when we could have none. So many times I long to be working as a counselor again and not be the secretary, when I could easily be unemployed. So many times I wish Josh and I were not so busy, when it is our social networks that keep me afloat. So many times I wish we had a home of our own, when we could be homeless. So many times I get frustrated and wish so many things were different when they easily could be worse than they are. It's easy for me to sit here and "wish" but so often it's difficult for me to see that things could be a lot worse than they are. I've learned over time to give things up. To stop worrying and begin believing. Everything works out according to His plan. Though we don't always know why or how, it always works out as it is intended to be.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Cor 13:7-8

One of my favorite boys of all time!
