Take time to appreciate the itty bitties.

Just want to share some of the little things I'm thankful for this morning.

1) swimming in blankets on a slow morning
2) scripture passages that speak so strongly to me that I have to pause to whisper things to the Lord between each sentence I read.
3) an empty house; sweet silence
4) a precious little surprise breakfast from pops
5) the way my hair falls just the way I like it

(Edit:)

I am most especially thankful for the time I spent with the Lord this morning in Deuteronomy. I found myself reflecting on the "wilderness mentality" of the Israelites. Imagine being delivered from the hands of the Egyptians and being promised a land so lush that it would surpass their wildest dreams. All they had to do was remember the promise, trust that God would pull through, pick up their feet, and start moving. It must not have been long 'til they forgot the game plan. They complained, longed for the familiarity of Egypt, and took up idols to occupy their time/hearts. They were ungrateful for what God had done, and impatient and doubtful about where God was going to take them. A trip to the Promised Land that could have taken days instead took 40 years. Oh, Israelites.

I don't want to go back to Egypt. I'm tired of these idols. I'm ready to get moving and forfeit the 40 years of wilderness. Canaan, here I come! Thank you, Lord :).

See ya later, shnooks.
