I woke up this morning, made some coffee and ventured to the front porch. Coffee in hand, comfy pants on and bible and journal on lap. For not being (too much) of a morning person, I quite enjoy beginning the day in a similar fashion as this morning. Something about it is so refreshing.


Time again seems to be picking up and flying by. I can't believe it's another Saturday afternoon. And we've already broke into the month of February this year. Overall, it's been a good week. Steps forward, progress made, things accomplished. 


I'm continually convinced that so much of life comes back to the motives of things, why do we do the things we do? Are we just going through the motions? Living trying to fulfil expectations? God asks us to be wholehearted, diligent, faithful...no doubt. When life is full of agendas, responsibilities, to-do lists, it seems to be so easy to just keep forging ahead.... trying hard to get done, to progress and develop. They aren't bad things but I wonder if God wants us to slow down, wait on Him for strength and wisdom in how to progress and move forward. Oh, Lord show me what this looks like...

I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend. Enjoy the little things and find laughter in the silly things. I reckon these are the things that bring such simple joy.
