one of my ideas of a perfect day

Well i figured I could procrastinate just a little bit longer on hw since i haven’t written in on my blog in a while.

I don’t know why but one of my ideas of a perfect day, in the winter, is to be snuggled up with a big ol’ comfy blanket, at home, with my parents and tony, either watching “Home Alone 2″ or “The Elf” with a neverending supply of either hot cocoa or hot apple cider. It’s SO incredibly comforting, and I am completely satisfied spending my day or evening just like that. I almost can’t wait for the winter time to come, just so that may be possible. Also because I know once cold air comes through, our wedding will be just around the corner.

But don’t you just LOVE being comforted? I am so thankful that God created that, and even better, He IS comfort! He is our safe place, our refuge, the only place we can feel completely ourselves and safe.

Half the year is gone and I’m about to start my second to last full year of school! I can’t believe I’ll be getting married and graduating next year. Talking with my other friends, in disbelief that we’re all about 22 and starting our real grown up lives, it’s a bit scary. I haven’t felt that “panic” yet. I take comfort in my Lord; who is my strength. He’s real good at letting me know I can’t take care of everything by myself and that I don’t know everything, and that I don’t know the big picture. That’s a scary thought, really, but it’s kinda funny that even though God does that, He also says “Hey..you know what, you may not know what you’re doing next year, next month, next week. You may think that if you go down one path, it might be the wrong one. You might not know what kind of job you’re gonna take, or who you’re gonna marry. But stick close to me because I have all the answers. And better yet, I have all the RIGHT ones. My plan is perfect, I am perfect, and if I’m on your side..who can be against you?”

So take comfort..snuggle up with a big old blanket and rejoice in who your Father is.
