I have noticed my silence in blog world. I have in fact, been busy and not busy all at the same time. It’s this beautiful balance between rest and need-to’s with want-to’s, sprinkled with a few love-to’s. I have very little to complain about, and I have been so blessed. I have this silly little smile on my face that I can’t seem to wipe off.
After my fun day filled with kids, small groups, baking cookies, watching classic movie, laughing, and even some YOGA (yea. Inflexible little me trying to make my limbs stretch. Quite fun), I was hit with this desire to have some steamed asparagus with Parmesan cheese. So I grabbed the frozen asparagus, heat up a little water, and went to business.
Only to have my little sister ask me a few minutes later….
“Why are you cooking green beans at 12:30 in the morning?”
“They are not green beans! I’m making asparagus!”
“No… I think they are green beans Dani.”
"sigh"
So disappointing.
When you crave and envision one thing, and end up with another because you fail to read the labels on bags… it can be rather disappointing. But I made due. I was initially craving my tuna salad I made earlier… but I believe my mother ate it.
I also had this great conversation with an older man who used to work for World Missions (or, something close to that name. The exact name slips me) and we had this talk about education being a huge focus, and that educators who are willing (and called) have opportunities to teach all around the world within missions.
And that is exciting to this little lady. I recall the calling to “become a certified teacher”, but beyond this, I know little as to where to go. All the talk about job availability being low in Michigan does not faze me; for I am not even positive God wants me to teach in Michigan. I’m not trying to sound foot-loose-and-fancy-free… but I am just excited. If I trust in God with a steadfast spirit, who knows where I will end up? I just want to be part of something bigger than my own needs, and I’m almost anxious to hear what God calls me to do next.
But in the mean time, I will try to remember to read labels better and enjoy the blessings God has given for today.
But… EEK!
