Has anything interesting happened lately?
Today was my first day back after a nice little break from work. I had been SO BUSY with everything in my life that I needed a break or else I WOULD BREAK (for reals had to buy new underwear at Target because I had not gotten to do laundry yet).
Thankfully, a long weekend came at just the right time. Phhew. I finally had time to do my laundry, grocery shop, paint my nails, read, journal, SLEEP, and watch movies.
Have you learned anything new about yourself lately?
I was asked to puppy sit this last weekend and I jumped at the chance. It was a perfect excuse to seclude myself and have an introverted weekend of being all by myself. Some people may hate that thought ... but I loved every minute of it.
I have realized over the years that I am a total introvert and I should just embrace it. If I am over-taxed and don't get time to decompress ... and then do the same thing over and over again, I become emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted.
How do you feel about your relationship with God lately?
Thee last couple of weeks have been the busiest I've been in a long time ... and the funny thing was, most of the things that I was doing was for the Lord. Either it was ministry, going to church functions, or being with friends (all of these things are SO GOOD!) ... but what was I doing to grow my relationship with Jesus?? *crickets*
Sure those things gave me encouragement along the way - but I wasn't able to spend quality time with my Savior and that meant I wasn't able to be my best self for others or for myself.
How do you feel about your relationships with people lately? Even though I have been crazy busy these last couple of weeks, I have been able to meet up with some of my closest friends for dinner, which is always good for my soul. I always find it amazing how my friendships with women have such a great impact on my life. I am truly a blessed woman to be surrounded by awesome, funny, sweet, genuine and Godly ladies.
Other thoughts or feelings:
My hope is that life will slow down and that I can breathe. But even in the midst of a busy life I want to focus on the many blessings I have and the remember the goodness of God.
