I'm really feeling winter today. It's not always wonderful, sometimes the gray days are too many and the sunny days too few, but I will always be glad I live it a state where there's winter. There's something refreshing and rejuvenating about it. It reminds me of the holidays, and it makes me want to snuggle in with my boys and watch movies and drink hot drinks and be cozy.
This winter I'm grateful. I'm grateful for my family and my chance everyday to respond to the high calling of motherhood. I'm grateful for my bible study class that is helping me grow daily in my faith. I'm grateful for my family's health, especially after having a health scare last month (weird migraine and other symptoms, MRI came back normal and physical therapy is helping, so praise!). I'm grateful for my friends who love me so well, for my sweet husband who also loves me so well and provides for our family so well. I'm grateful for our cozy home. I'm grateful for my Jesus, who makes my life so colorful.
This winter I'm focusing on growing, in my faith, marriage and motherhood. And I'm learning what it really means to trust God, and the biggest part of that for me is taking and enjoying life as it comes. When I trust God, it's so much easier for me to find the beauty in everything, including the gray days. Today I feel like I'm carrying my own weather, that no matter how gloomy it may be outside, in my head and heart it's warm and sunny.
I'm ready for this season, and not just ready but anticipating and expecting great things.
