This morning is a two cup of coffee morning… which means I just want to sit here a little bit longer.
My morning coffee is something I earn these days. I must first wake up and get my workout done before I can sit in my comfy chair and enjoy this cup of coffee.
And today for some reason I just want to sit a little bit longer. I want to savour this moment just a little bit longer.
One more prayer.
One more moment of thanks.
One more page in my book.
One more thought to write.
It is in these moments that I can undo any negativity in my brain.
I can pep myself up for another arduous day.
I can tell myself today is the day I will feel accomplished.
Waking and knowing today is a clean slate, fresh start is so refreshing and exciting for my soul.
I have BIG dreams.
And to dream BIG you need heavy dose of courage.
This journey of learning to SHINE His light in all I do is not easy.
I mess up.
A LOT!
I yell.
I complain.
I argue.
With God mostly.
I compare myself.
I get frustrated when things do not go my way.
But, I am a work in progress.
This is a lifelong journey in becoming who He created me to be… and my morning coffee is a reminder of my fresh start.
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow can wait.
I just have today.
Today to respect and serve my husband.
Today to nurture and teach my son.
Today to be a good leader.
Today to encourage someone else to JUMP into this crazy world with limitless possibilities.
Some days I wonder if I am making a difference. I wonder if I could have done more but, mostly I go to bed thanking God that He allowed me to have another day. Mostly I know my failing will help me the next day and maybe it can help someone else struggling with this journey.
But, right now right in this moment as I enjoy this second cup of coffee I wonder and pray about the conversations I will be able to have today. The possibilities of maybe being able to help someone on their journey.
And that excites me! It gets me all jazzed about life and little moments.
Life is so so short and precious. And honestly I wish I hadn’t felt first hard the truth of those words but, I have a few times in my short life and despite the pain of those stories it is a constant reminder to live life fully.
To love and serve my husband well and to cherish this stage of motherhood.
To keep learning and growing.
To connect with people.
To encourage those in need.
And to hopefully inspire someone else to live life more fully.
Thank you Father for this extra time today to sit and enjoy my coffee with You. Thank you for another day to love on the people around me. Help me to give grace to myself and others. Help me to love people right where they are in life. Give me strength to be who You created me to be, Amen!
