If someone saw my day today they probably wouldn’t say it was anything super adventurous or exciting. But there was something about today that from the depths of my spirit and soul was so satisfying. Its mothers day and it started out teaching my middle schoolers (which in itself is a neat thing because i’m not good at it! yet the Lord always seems to work even in my insufficiency) and then I got to drive home and be with my mom for mothers day. not long after I got home we went to pick up Jess and James and we all (minus Dave :( ) went to listen to Ben speak and Donna lead worship at faithbridge. I miss those two so much so I was so excited that I got the chance to hear Ben in person (podcasts just aren’t the same) and get to say hi to them. God has gifted Ben so tremendously in his ability to teach the Word and speak truth in a way that instills a longing to know the Lord more. It was just what I needed - a reminder that this life is not about me and my agenda.
Afterwards we all went to Saltgrass for dinner. The meal was delicious but just being together is what made it so great. We talked about God and sharing our faith and about Jesus and grace. At one point Dad made a comment about what a blessing it is to be able to have conversations as a family about the goodness of God. And its true. So often I forget just how rare it is to have a family like the one I do. It satisfied my soul because that is what life is about - celebrating and enjoying the people you love, and talking about and glorifying the One who ordained it all.
.blessed.
