Last week was just awful for me (us). We had so many employees call out it was just incredible. It was seriously like everything was against us last week. We had to work everyday due to call outs (still not complaining, I love my job!). It was crazy! Employees who NEVER call out, were calling out due to things outside of their control. And then after working all week, Saturday I came down with the WORST stomach bug. I could not keep anything down and ended up at the doctors on Monday (I try to avoid the doctor due to all the fertility appts I've been too, I ended up not really liking the doctors office) so if I'm telling my hubby I need to go to the doctor, its serious! I am feeling much, much better now but still not 100%. Anyways, we are super glad to be out of last week and into a better week!
Fall is here (and leaving quickly), I love Fall but it always seems to come and go so quickly! I love the 60-70 degree weather. I love that it is cool enough for long pants and a jacket, but not so cold that I have to wear a bulky winter coat!
Anyways, Fall is not the season I'm talking about enjoying, I'm talking about the seasons of life!
Being sick this last week, I have had A LOT of time to think. I am so quick to disregard the season of life I'm in, waiting for the next season, hoping that it will be better and I so quickly forget to enjoy the beauty of the season I'm in. I have ALWAYS done this. This last week I was thinking about when we lived in Florida. I miss that season of life. I miss being newlywed. I miss thinking that getting pregnant would be so so easy. I miss that naive person I was FIVE years ago. And that got me started thinking about now. About how I don't appreciate what I have right NOW. I'm always looking forward. Thinking about how good life will be when this happens, or that happens. When we lived in Florida, I did not enjoy that season of life. I was so ready to jump ahead to the next season, to have kids, to "start" my life. When we moved to Alabama, it was the same, I didn't enjoy what I had, I wanted to have kids, I wanted to get to that season of life. I didn't enjoy my house, my life, what I had. Anyone else like this? I am always imagining that the future will be better and I want to get there NOW. I have decided that my new goal is to enjoy the season of life I am in now, whatever that may be. There are wonderful things going on around me, things I am missing out on because I am so focused on the future. Now I'm NOT saying don't think or plan for the future but don't let the future become your obsession. Let's enjoy THIS season of life!
I want this quote to become my new mantra!
And this quote, just because God is ALWAYS there. Even if we don't see Him, or don't want to see Him, He is always there.
