Grateful

Do you ever just want to cry because you are so amazed and humbled by what God is doing in your life? That’s how I feel today. Its not anything that is a dramatic life change, but as I look around at all the small things, I get emotionally overwhelmed as I get the privilege of seeing Him move and work. KP’s new job becoming established, new friends, being reunited with old friends, building stronger relationships with other couples, technology allowing us to be a part of churches across the country, incredible mentors, workout routines we both love, girls I am blessed to mentor, friends’ kids that mean the world to us, season tickets to the ballet (I’ve always wanted this), KP loving to travel and try new places as much as I do, our two dogs (who are out “kids”), walking out on my deck every morning and getting to see God's incredible creation.

The crazy thing is that instead of enjoying where God has me, I question it. My insecurities get the better of me and start questioning if all of these blessings are really “real”. Or I start focusing on what we don't have. Being in a place of constant contentment is hard. There are so many things that we want and it can be overwhelming when I dwell on them. I'm learning that the things that we don't have are things that God knows we don't need at this moment in our life. His plan is always better and greater. I love that He knows our hearts better than we do and will always give us His best.

Today, I'm thankful that all the amazing things He has given us lead me to a place of contentment. A place where I can be happy in this moment.
