In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. -Mahatma Gandhi

A quiet sunday

I appreciate the days where I have nothing to do. I actually enjoy them. I always have work, or ministry activities going on and somewhere in between I have to run the 238974 errands to keep my life perfectly balanced. I REALLY appreciate days where I have nothing to do.

Its sunday, and that usually means that I just finished a day of getting ready and then church and then home for lunch and finally a time to rest. But today I am in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the country, enjoying a wonderful sunday. The bestie is taking a nap and liz is doing hw, and although there are people here it is quiet. And I love it. I barely have time throughout the day where it is just quiet. Today Im sitting here in a rocking chair taking a stroll down memory lane and thinking about how weird and different life has turned out to be since June. It will almost be a year where I made a drastic change for the better, and I am so amazed at how life has turned out. A little under a year ago I did not know how life would be from then on. Life was so routine for almost 13 years of my life. Now, I catch myself wondering who I even at this point. I surprise myself at little things I do, I find myself smiling a whole lot more than I was used to. I am myself because it is finally acceptable. No requirements, no limits. I can't even grasp the idea that life is now just becoming how it is. How did I ever make it this far? I can't imagine life being any other way now, and that is perfectly fine. God sure has a sense of humor. I did not know how I was going to survive life's drastic changes, but now I don't know how I survived life before the drastic changes.

I am loving life now.
