This past week I have been meditating and searching for all the blessings in life. I am so tired of always thinking of the things that aren't going right in life. Every night this week while driving home for the night from wherever I may have been I have a smile come across my face just thinking of things that are right with the World. It has been very encouraging to me. These things have ranged from holding a baby named Emma whose family I love dearly and consider family in a lot of ways, to little things throughout the day that have brought joy into my life and I just wanted to take a moment to share these things with you. I have been in the desert for so long searching for the manna of life to sustain everyday life and have realized that God is working in the small things that are so easy to overlook when your so worried about employment, affording your next payment, leaving friends behind, or fretting over relationships. I believe God can work all these things out but that we can't afford to miss the small blessings of everyday. Having a dear friend spend the day with you in the midst of their hectic schedule, being provided for when money is tight and you need a lending hand, realizing people believe in you when you don't always believe in yourself, a warm embrace, the list goes on. My hope in writing this is that it will inspire people to take a step back in their everyday lives and stop to smell the roses, and that anyone reading this that like me is in a desert place waiting to hear from God will have hope and start to hunt for blessings.
