Do you ever have those days where you get up and deliberately, specifically put the day and it's events in God's hands, have a ridiculously unusual abundance of energy and optimism all day long, and then wonder why the heck you don't just give it to Him more often??

Mm, I do. And it happened today.

Life Groups
-chocolate chip muffins, Dr. Seuss stories, real talk, and too many laughs

Board Meeting Prep
-luncheon planned, attendees confirmed, and rooms booked

Grad Prep
-letters mailed, phone calls made, emails sent, blue program ribbon found (<--this was harder than you'd think...)

**productivity, for the win!**


~"...and she laughs at the time to come." {proverbs31:25b}

The Proverbs 31 woman laughs at the time to come. And I'm sure not because her life was just stress-free either. She's not anxious, she's not worried... she knows the Creator of the Universe is lookin out for her. She can chill out, and just be excited about how He's gonna work everything out for good...becaaause, she probably has no idea how on earth SHE'D work any of it out, but isn't the suspense more exhilarating anyway? Hmm, maybe not as you're living in the uncertainty, but hasn't He shown His gracious mercy and His outstanding goodness enough times that we can trust Him? Even blindly? Golly, life seems so complex - so many pressure-filled projects to finish, so many life-altering decisions to be made, so many different roads to take (or so few...). But God knows where I'm headed. He knows! And so I can let it go. I can give a little laugh, shake my head in awe that He actually wants to be in control of my ridiculous, pretty insignificant life, and let it go... and then watch the adventures and blessings unfold. How can I not be so, so grateful? And isn't that what life is all about? Living in sheer wonder of His great love and proclaiming it to the world? Mhm...

Soo, laugh a little, k?

--song of the day: let the waters rise, mikeschair--

God, You know where i've been

You were there with me then

You were faithful before

You'll be faithful again

there's a raging sea

right in front of me

tryin' to pull me in

bring me to my knees

let the waters rise

if You want them to

i will follow You

i will follow You.
