It truly is a good morning today. There is something so special about rising (some-what) early to enjoy just a piece, of the peace and quiet before the world starts turning so quickly, giving you no choice but to jump in along with it.
Whether you're in this season at the moment, or not. There are always those times in life when you wake up and the first thing that jumps into your brain is that one haunting situation that you haven't gotten through yet, that huge life decision you haven't yet chosen, or the immediate, stinging pain of whatever is going on inside you. It's those "this situation/pain/moment is almost too hard for me to bear right now, but I know it will pass eventually" type of moment (you know what I mean.)
It is these kind of morning where I have to wake up, stop, take my head out of my dark black hole, and realize.
The sun has risen faithfully once again.
I am still somehow breathing.
I have a roof over my head.
Coffee in my hand (which is just an amazing bonus).
And a God who will gladly receive all my pain and burdens today if I choose to give them.
This. IS. a. good. morning.
Though everything else may want to make me think differently, I will be thankful for the beautiful little gifts I am given today.
Even if you can get your heart and mind here just for a moment this morning, to realize all you are blessed with (even through some of your biggest struggles), your day may just be a bit sweeter.
Love this, Jenna! And I miss your positivity and beautiful outlook on life. You were always such a blessing to me when we went to school together and I still admire the incredible strength you have in your faith. Hope you're having a wonderful day!
