Sunday Morning

It's Sunday morning. Allen and Noah are playing video games and i am sitting on the couch next to them listening to Noah be a total goofball. We usually go to Mass in the evening but today Noah and I are going at noon and then to a park at Lake Lanier. It's Cristina's birthday and we are going to celebrate! This is what Sunday was created for! A Day of REST!!! A day to hang out with family. A day to play with your friends! A Day to forget all the stress of real life and just enjoy being alive!! And today's weather could not be more perfect! Well, if it was about 20 degrees cooler it would be more perfect but I'll take this beautiful sunny, hot day!

For 2 years now I have enjoyed Sunday's more than any other day of the week. I think of where i was 2 years ago and I am so thankful for where God has led me since. I was in a bad place in my life 2 summers ago. I was wanting to get out of a job i hated (not because of the teens...i loved them, but because of politics). The job was making me miserable and therefore making me focus on all the things in my life going wrong or not how I planned, instead of letting me see all my Blessings! I wish i could go back to that time only to change my attitude because it is so clear now that God had His hand in my life and was leading me to something so much better. I LOVE where God has lead me and I am thankful He did even though I didn't think He was even listening most days. He lead me out of youth ministry (well, as the youth minister anyway) and just flooded my heart with His love. He opened doors for me that I would have never chosen on my own yet fill my soul with happiness!! Luckily He created me and so He knows what is best for me!!

So now I sit on my couch with my goofy family that I couldn't love any more than i already do, praising God for my blessings!! I hope you enjoy your Sunday and gets lots of rest and peace!!!
