Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

a day off

tomorrow i begin my temp job.  yesterday i ended my full time teaching job for the summer break.  but today.  glorious today.  full of hours to do as i choose...and as i need.  i am blessed beyond words to have the gift of time.  the gift of love and friends and kids.   i am going to treasure this day.  hold it in my heart.  until i get to have a break.
i am full of heart.  of thankfulness.  for rain.  for painting.  for washing machines.  yes, washing machines.  i am so glad that i don't have to beat my clothes on a stone in a river.  i am thankful for the opportunity to find purpose in this day.
life is such a treasure...but sometimes it seems hidden by the constant demands.  i am learning to get to a place of appreciating life itself.  the moments. not allowing it to disappear under my to do list.
breath.  so thankful to breathe.
i hope that your day finds you thankful.  and if it hasn't yet, cultivate one or two...you'll be surprised at how they grow when nurtured.
blessings.
