True Blessings

Today I realized how blessed I am. Sure I have lots of things that are blessings, a nice house, a car, friends, family, there's lots that I'm blessed by, but this morning I realized that I am truly blessed. We have a great house, plenty of space, more than the 2 of us need. This house isn't just 4 bedrooms and nice front yard. This is an opportunity for Jared's family and my family to come together this Thanksgiving and create memories. 

This morning I realized that I have true love from my husband. Now I've always known this but I was reminded of it again this morning. I'm in love with a man that truly loves me back, not lustful love, not selfish love but true Knight and Shining Armor Love. I'm blessed 

with a smart, caring, self motivated man who is good at anything he does. God has blessed my life with Jared. 

I also realized today that for the first time since college I've been blessed with great friends. My move to Texas reconnected with a neighbor from college and our relationship has blossomed into a great friendship. I'm so blessed to have her back in my life. Jared's Tuesday night Softball games has opened the door to a new friendship that has grown while we cheer on our men from the cold bleachers. 

These are just the big things that I feel day to day, but God has stretched me and molded me and shaped me and I have a different relationship with Him since we've been in Texas and for that I am truly blessed. 

Life

"The more I see you, the more I find you. The more I find you, the more I love you. I want to sit at your feet, drink from the cup in your hand. Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat. This love is so deep it's more than I can stand. I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming."

These are words to a song I've been listening to the past few days. The more I listen, the more I long for a relationship with God, one that looks like this. To have a relationship with God where I can lay back against my Father and just breathe. I want to melt in His Peace. I feel like so often I melt in stress, anxiety, self worth, I'm ready to melt in Peace.

Help me to lay back against you and breathe, to feel your heart beat.
I want to melt in your peace.

Amen
