I know it's been awhile. I think I spent a week in hibernation. Between time at work and sleeping, it consumed most of my time. I was fighting migraines or the remnants of migraines throughout the week. It happens without explanation every once in awhile. Sunday they disappeared as mysteriously as they came. And so, I feel human again.
I am continuing my Thanksgiving Challenge by sharing something I'm thankful for each day. It brightens my day to see others sharing, too. If nothing else, by reading those posts, you can know that each one is a way God has touched my life by all of the blessings He has given me!
Just because I didn't write doesn't mean I didn't see or experience God. I just fell asleep before I had a chance to write about it. And, at this point the thought of writing to catch you up on each day overwhelms me. So, you'll have to take my word for it.
I will say I'm excited about some conversations I had lately, I'm excited about some plans coming up for my youth, and I'm excited that the Thanksgiving and Advent season are upon us. It seems to be coming rather quickly!
If I had to sum up last week and where God was in my life, I'll say this. There are things in my life that consume me. I have a calling to help the youth find their place in life, follow the right path, and find their relationship with God. I have a need to connect with friends, to do what I am asked to do to help them in any way I can. I have a desire to grow my relationship with God in order to be a stronger person for myself and others. In a time in my life where I have weeks like last week- where work and sleep take up my existence- there is a big gap. I need to get dressed in the morning, eat, have millions of things taken care of that I just can't do. And, for that, God gave me the most kind, loving, considerate man who has dinner ready no matter what time I get home, clean laundry, and my heating blanket turned on so I don't get cold. It's all of the little things in life that often go without words that shouldn't.
My husband works hard every day to make sure I'm able to do the things I need to do. And, if he didn't, I wouldn't be able to do any of them.
So, where was God this past week? He was, and is, in the blessing of having a husband who loves and cares for me and makes me a better person.
Blessings,
Jennifer
