God is good.
Today has been one of those days where I allow little things to irritate me, stress to consume me, and emotions to take over. All I want to do is seclude myself in our bedroom, read my bible and sleep until it's tomorrow.
Praise God for the wise and encouraging women I work with, and for a God who is so sovereign and merciful! He reveals more of his awesome steadfastness to me daily... today he's doing it by using my co-workers.
I'm so blessed to be surrounded by these Godly women at work. They love their husbands and families deeply, are continuously acknowledging God's work in their lives and pray passionately for his will to be done and his name to be glorified. I could not ask for a better environment to be immersed in day after day. I know he is using this time in my life to really grow me and shape me. I just feel abundantly blessed on a day like this when I feel like my consuming Self has caused me to wander off the lighted path.
Today is no longer about self pity, but praise! And that's a good thing. A very good thing :)
In other news, Curtis has been working incredibly long hours as our church gears up for their production of The Sound of Music. It's taken it's toll on him, but we've been blessed in his overtime, and in learning better what marriage looks like during those busy show times when he's only home from 12AM - 8AM.
Despite his lack of personal time and our lack of together time, I think it's going pretty well. I couldn't be more proud of him and his desire to continue to work hard and do the work well.
I'm also looking forward to seeing him up on stage again at Bass Hall in a couple weeks in Ellis Island!
Life is blessed when it's busy.
and it's going to be AWESOME when it's not busy for a little while :)
Amen!
