I had an amazing night of sleep last night. I brought up my down filled mattress pad from my bed at home. Now my bed is just so warm and inviting that I can hardly wait for bedtime to come so I can run up the stairs and jump in bed. I'm hoping this new found enthusiasm will make getting to bed earlier much easier. I absolutely love white linens. I just love the crispness and freshness of white. Makes me feel like I'm sleeping in a big giant cloud. Lovely. Completely blissful.
Lately I've been discovering that we all have the innate ability to control so much of our own lives. I've spent years and years trying to please other people and just always make other happy. Suddenly life just feels very liberating knowing that I can do everything within my power to share happiness and joy with others but that I also have the ability to simply walk away. I can walk away and not look back.
Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
This verse just makes me so joyful because the Lord wants us to surround ourselves with things that are "pure, lovely, of good report, and virtue". He wants us to be free from earthly things and people that shackle us and prevent us from rejoicing in Him fully.
It's a beautiful Saturday in Athens, Ga!
