Last night I crashed hard and couldn’t keep my eyes open at my computer while trying to post a photo for my 365. I had to take a break. Raising puppies and dealing with grief will strip the life right out of a person.
In years past I would have quit my project altogether in that singular moment. After rethinking the purpose of this project (to stay present and grateful in a season of intense grief) I have decided to stay in it.
So, today I am posting extra images and counting this as two days worth. We all do what we need to do to keep going. I have discovered that very few things (if any) in my life benefit from an “all or nothing” mentality. I do so much better when I just keep taking small steps in the direction I feel God is calling me.
The enemy of my soul is loud and unrelenting in his accusations, but in the end that is all he can do — accuse. He cannot tell me who I am or what I am supposed to do. And so today I get back up and take a few more steps into being present and grateful. God will tell me who I am and what I should do. I am beginning again with worship. Worship always leads me home.
Today I am grateful for the beautiful March snow we got today. Although it was only here for a short while, it was magical. I felt immediately uplifted but its beauty. God is so good.
Thank you Lord for new beginnings.
