Be Still

I’ve heard people talk about finding joy in the simple things, but I’m not sure I genuinely experienced that until this past year. 

I was home last night with my roomie’s dog, folding clothes in a quiet apartment, about to eat a nice meal…& I just paused at how peaceful it was. I started thanking God for how much joy that moment brought me, and the perspective it gave me on my life. I don’t have to be in the middle of some grand adventure to have joy. I don’t have to have all of my prayers answered to have peace. I don’t have to have achieved all of my goals to have a life worth living.

There are so many reasons to be grateful today. The amount of love and support in my life feels unfair at times – that’s how good it is.

God blesses me all the time, no matter how subtle or grandiose He decides to do it. His presence and the truth of His love in my life is more than enough.

I’m so grateful for everyone and every thing that has helped me get to the source of real joy, peace, and purpose.

xoxoxo,
