Day 12

I had an incredible time of worship today, and not just at church! I got to sing some amazing songs this morning. I heard a powerful message on the widow's mite (by a very handsome man!). I had the privilege of going to a bridal shower for someone who has waited a long time to find the right man for her. I escorted my 93 year old bike riding and dancing friend, Miss Irene, home after the shower where I got to see her beautiful geraniums on the sun porch in the middle of March in Spokane. I briefly saw one of our family's little miracles, my nephew Cai, for a few minutes while talking to his momma and daddy. I had the opportunity to pray for three dear friends who are struggling with cancer, as well as my dad who is still struggling with his health. I was able to write a reference for a dear friend who is following God's leading in providing a stable home for her abandoned niece. I ate brown rice and raisins, which were surprisingly good together. I actually got to not only see but talk eyeball to eyeball with my husband today for more than 10 minutes. I educated myself more about human trafficking with others from our church, and am asking God how He wants me involved. I drove, along with my family, an emotionally wounded kid home who's trying to figure out his place in this world. I enjoyed a conversation with my boys about heaven and souls and new bodies. I was warmly greeted by my incredible boxer-bulldog, Charlie, and praised him for carrying his 2 foot bone around and not one of the boys' stuffed animals. I was able to witness the healing power God gave our bodies as I tended to the finger my hubby deeply sliced yesterday. And now I get to recall it all in my warm house and comfy sweats, state my gratitude on my fancy laptop, and go to bed thanking God for the life He gave me. Worship is so much more than songs on a Sunday morning! It's a way of life! God, may I always take the time to worship you in my thoughts, actions, words, and attitude no matter what situation I find myself in!
