The Here and Now

i'm thankful for the freedom to be content exactly where i am. i'm not bound to the wants, the what-ifs and the wouldn't-that-be-nice's. that even if they come to mind (or heart) i have the power to realize that, while maybe those things may come to me at some
point, i am standing right in the middle of Gods will for me.
i may feel ready for Roger to be back working in Dallas with us, but i'm thankful for
his job out of town that has provided for us while some pray for any sort of job.
i may want to live down the street from my mom or dad (somedays), be in a 3rd world country passing out the only meal a child may get that week, or rescuing every animal abused or neglected but i have to trust that now is not the time.
i may want a bigger house with more rooms and an amazing playroom, but i need to
remember that it is the feelings in a house that make someone welcome, not the size.
i may long for (a little) more time to myself at the end of the night, but i need to be mindful of
how quickly Scout will grow up.
i'm learning more every day to fully embrace exactly where i am.
even the obstacles can be fun sometimes.
