Monday Morning

Here I am on the couch again. So so spoiled to have another Monday off work. Every once in a while my flex time arrangement does indeed allow for...flex!

So, I'm here in sweats, nestled deep into the leather sofa, staring out into the parkway and watching the branches sway. To my left is Fresh Brewed Life and my Bible, and to my right is a cup of coffee and that crazy good creamer. My journal and retreat notes are on the ottoman by my feet, and my laptop is here on my lap. This has the makings of a very fine morning.

Here's a quote from FBL to ponder today. It is in the chapter entitled "Surrender to God," a chapter about not trying harder or doing more, but just leaning in to the creator.

There is only One who can tell us this: the Lord himself. And He wants to tell us. He has made us to know our reason for being and to be led by it. But it is a secret He will entrust to us only when we ask, and then in His own way and His own time. He will whisper it to us not in the mad rush and fever of our striving and our fierce determination to be someone, but rather when we are content to rest in Him, to put oursleves into His keeping, into His hands. Most delightfully of all, it is a secret He will tell us slowly and sweetly, when we are willing to spend time with Him: time with Him who is beyond all time.
