The challenge, therefore, is to take pleasure in the ";atmosphere of growth," in the gradual progress made toward a goal, in the present.
When I find myself focusing overmuch on the anticipated future happiness of arriving at a certain goal, I remind myself to "Enjoy Now" (The Happiness Project)
Here are very few things God has given me to enjoy now...
This baby should be sainted.
Her default mood is independent and happy.
And more than anything, she is the biggest fun-loving cuddly teddy bear when she winds down. There isn't anybody in our household that does not fight for her when she starts getting tired. Everyone knows how sweet it feels when a baby loves you back.
This weekend I was fortunate enough to go home for her birthday. In addition to hearing all the new words she has discovered, I was also able to see how her personality was maturing. Absolutely the cutest, most sweet baby I ever did see.
My sister is the best mom ever. There is yet another baby all of us cannot wait to meet.
Oh my goodness
Am I ever in love with my job
I was promoted to manager about a week ago.
Tonight shift was so enjoyable.
I worked very smart.
There was a weeks worth of inventory that needed to be be imported into files, so that meant
I was going to be locked in the break room the whole entire night.
A couple days before hand I found a small way to make the office a little more pleasant.
My mom found the best of all candle in the whole world "Love Spell Blossom"
so...As soon as I got a chance, I bought one for the office, for my bedroom, and a filter for my car. It's that ridiculously amazing.
So...
John Mayor sang to me
as I smelled the loveliest of all scents
and marked down 764 shirts 234 pants and 109 hangers
Here's a sneek peek of what I do.
...Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory. 1 Peter 1:8
Inexpressible and glory-filled joy? Yes, please.
I wouln't say that this is the most stable season of my life. I'm uncertain about things that could be more certain. I am constansly telling my emotions, desires and passions to come under the covering of the Lord. God is showing me how to praise him and appreciate the present. There is an abundance of joy that is always available in the prescence of God, No matter the circumstances. I will walk in the promises of God and wait for his leadership.
