It has been a good winter. Jordan and I were out on a beautiful winter run this afternoon and it made me appreciate how many simple blessings I've been given. I can run. I am healthy. I am married to my best friend. I have a job. I love my family and friends. I get to work. I get to rest.
It was refreshing to run in the fresh air... sometimes I need the brisk air to help me realize how good I have it. Lately I've noticed my body has been working through some of the issues I tend to develop when I get a bit stressed. Although it's a busy time of year with report cards, conferences, long/cold winter hours, etc. I want to continue reminding myself of how blessed I am so that I can better combat my stress and avoid stomach pains and aches.
One of my favorite blessings from the past 18 days is that I've been very devoted to finding time each and every day to spend with God. I'm finding that this time reminds me daily to be patient and wait upon the Lord. He is so good to us. I'm thankful for my days. I'm thankful for my nights.
The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He
helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of
thanksgiving. --Psalm 28:7
