Phew - it's been a whirlwind of a day. Our sub-zero temps continue and it's making the school week a LONG one. When you go days on end without anyone being able to get out and run off some steam, it can make us all a little batty. ;)
In the midst of the chaos, I've found some moments of peace - some moments to sit and just be in the moment, per say.
87. After a somewhat harried morning, trying to stop tripping over my own feet and get out the door, I relished in singing my memory work this week with my Fighter Verse app on my phone. I know I have mentioned this app - a lot - but the reason I love, love, love it is that it gives me so many different ways to practice the verse each week -- my favorite being that I can sing it. -AND, it is repeats over and over until you tell it to stop, so I just keep singing it again and again the entire way into work. :) For some reason, I'm enjoying this tune/song/words combo better than I've enjoyed the others to date. It's a fun one to sing. (I Thess. 5:14-22)
88. Most (not all) mornings, I am the first person on my floor at school --- and there's something very peaceful about being there in the quiet of the morning as the sun is still rising, with it so very still... there's something about quiet halls and rooms that will soon be filled with the noise that lots of little bodies full of energy and life. It's a very productive time of day for me during these early mornings - today was one of those days.
89. It was so fun to sit and listen to my oldest and her friend chat on the way to town for theater... I mean, truly hilarious. :D It was fantastic to release some tension through laughter and just enjoy their chatter.
90. While C was at theater, I sought solace in one of my favorite libraries to do some classwork. It was quiet and it's always a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by so many books. I <3 Books! (As you can see, I brought quite the stack home with me to work on this weekend for my class!)
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
