Wherever you are, be all there. Jim Elliot
Ever since I can remember, I have always loved people watching and my thoughts have lead me a million miles from where my body resided.
Dreaming up ways to weave string for a bracelet, how to cut fabric to drape properly, redressing people with outfits to fit their body types or redesigning my surroundings with moderns updates, my mind easily has wandered over the years but then I met Jesus. He has been gracious to show me how to focus, a constant, quiet redirecting.
Back to what is infront of me.
Back to what matters most.
Back to scripture.
Back to my children.
A few weeks off of social media has done wonders for mental rest.
Distance learning while working from home, unpacking, organizing and holidays has definitely left my mind scattered, as much a they are fun and as grateful I have been to enjoy the festivities, there's nothing like rest.
We rang in the new year with our second annual trip to the beach. A nice drive in the car listening to Kid's Corner Podcast (I love it - if you're looking for a biblical teaching with humor and life, let your kiddos listen), telling jokes, and a few minutes of silence.
Looking forward to what lies ahead with a grateful for what has been.
Cheers to a new year.
