Good Good Good

So I've determined...

Sometimes, you just need a break.

Ground-breaking, I know! But, if you really seriously think about it, there is so much demand on our lives & then on top of all of that WE put more demand on ourselves & soon we're buried & getting stressed & being grumpy & blah blah blah. 

So, here's to not feeling guilty for taking a break when needed & continuing to stretch myself past where I'm at. That may seem contradictory, but I never want to stop growing. I have to stretch to grow & then I have to know when I really do need a break.

Life really is so good & little (or even big) bumps or stresses along the way don't make it any different, it just means that our eyes have become focused on our troubles rather than the goodness of God in our lives. It's like the old hymn says:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

& of course before I end this little blurb, I wanted to say thank you for all your encouraging words! Y'all are super sweet! It still blows my mind that we have this own little community where people just want to come & be nice! hahahaha, I love it!! 

Here's to being back!
