It's been a long week. An emotional one. Today I spent it exactly the way I love to spend my day. I give the day a 10+. Woke up and brewed some amazing hazelnut coffee that a good friend gave me. I studied some Spanish for quite a bit because I need to get back into practicing conjugations more often. I enjoy studying it. I love the language. Always have since 7th grade.
Then, I researched some human trafficking sites for information as I sipped my delicious joe and blared worship music throughout the empty house. I am loving the alone time. I need it.
When 11AM rolled around I packed a bag and caught a moto ride to the pool. I love riding a moto in this country. Beauty everywhere as the wind whips your hair and the mountain ranges take over the entire sky. My friend reminded me today as we rode that the only thing we really need in life is Jesus Christ. Amen. Nada mas, he said. Nada mas.
So, I spent the entire afternoon basking in the sun. I breathe so peacefully soaking up the sun's rays. I did it all day... until 4pm. It calms my whole body and mind. I read my entire Women's Health and dipped into two other books I am reading. I love reading. A perfect day always includes reading and some more reading. The water was freezing at the pool but it was perfect when I was hot and sweaty from the sun.
I came home and texted Heather asking her if she thinks I can put jammies back on and nap after I have been in the sun all day lounging. :) Of course, she said. Totally acceptable.
I thank the Lord for such an amazing place to live. I thank the Lord for peace. I thank the Lord for some awesome people I get to do life with. I thank the Lord for always being my Rock and Refuge--no matter what the situation is. Even when I told the Lord this week that I didn't want to talk with Him. I'm not mad. I just don't want to talk.
He still said, "Don't listen to those thoughts that tell you to stay away. Come to Me."
His love is unlike anything else in this world. And, His peace doesn't make sense.
