i feel like i'm, once again, at this sort of in-between season in this life i'm living. we've been married for almost two years (holy cow how did that happen??), we've settled into the routine of day-to-day living, we take our dog out and let each other know whether or not she poops and pees, we have jobs we both enjoy; life is good. and yet i feel like i'm searching for something more, like i'm ready to take the next step life is putting in front of us. i've been having more and more days of feeling like i can't live in our condo much longer, my baby fever is burning, and i'm just feeling plain old impatient. i find myself daydreaming about living in a cute house with a yard for penny to run in, a sweet baby in my arms, and my amazing husband by my side. i know all of these things will come in time, but somedays it feels like time cannot go by fast enough!
i opened my bible up tonight to this verse..
You are my portion, oh Lord; i have promised to obey your words. i have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. i have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes. i will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
psalm 119:57-60
it's so easy to become wrapped up in our own thoughts and ideas and dreams, when really our destiny is already laid out for us. i'm trying to stay rooted in the promise that a plan has been made for me. the greatest desire of my heart should not be having more than one bedroom or buying cute baby clothes, it should be living my life in a way that reflects the love and grace of jesus. i'm challenging myself to be better at this. anyone with me?
I found your blog today through the Bloom Into Spring exchange and I'm so glad I did. I needed to read this post this afternoon so thank you. =)
