A few weekends ago I was given the wonderful privilege to go back up to Mentone, Al to Camp DeSoto (which I am sure you all will find out is my FAVORITE place in the world I would rather be there then anywhere) for a fun weekend to retreat with staff from last summer. My gosh was it needed I just needed to be put in a place that I know for a fact God is SO THERE. It was such an amazing weekend to catch up with friends and just reflect on my life. We had a few talks by this wonderful woman named Melissa who is so good at connecting with all of us. Her talks were great but the one that really hit me was "Making something of our everyday life." how often do we get bored with our everyday routine, well for me its A LOT. But what I forget to do is to dwell on those simple joys, the joy of a sunny day, good talk with friends, finally understanding something in trig, a good hug or just knowing that I am loved. I am so blessed and i tend to forget that sometimes, I have a wonderful life with amazing family and friends, and I have the ability to really make something of my everyday, so why don't I? Sadly I don't think I have an answer to that but I have such peace that I am here for a larger purpose every simple thing I do means something. Thankfully that does not cause me to constantly look to the future but it gives me such a desire to truly dwell on the everyday.....
So when you find yourself getting bored with your everyday remember there are so many simple joys to cherish and in the end there is something so much bigger waiting for us!
I'll leave you with a little glimpse into my idea of heaven......
