Peace and Quietness

These are 2 words that do NOT describe life with little children...at least not very often. But I love it when I get to enjoy it! Now that the weather is nice, I so enjoy sitting out on my deck to spend my time with God - to think and pray - to relax - get sun - or just read. Ahhhh, it is wonderful!!

I got to enjoy some time out there today. There is just something about hearing the birds chirp, the wind rustle through the trees, the laughter of children in the distance (not my own but others!) sidenote: I do LOVE to hear my children laugh but I'd rather just not hear them during quiet time...you all can appreciate that right?! :)

When I have uninterrupted time to sit and be still - I love to dream. To talk to God and ask Him what His plan is for me. How he wants to use me. It is also a time to look inward because I am more able to see my own selfishness and sin. But yet I feel His unending love for me. I feel so safe and loved in those moments. Thank You God for that.

Oh and maybe there are a few more reasons that I want to be outside....

I think I'll go work on those "reasons" NOW! :)
