Today was the first day all week that I left school at a decent time. Staying at school 10-12 hours definitely wore me down this week. It's been one of those school years where I just don't feel like I can keep my head above water without staying until 6 or 7 o'clock at night. However, because of my extra effort, the next two weeks are planned, copied, filed and ready to rock.
Another positive I found from staying late this week is that I'm REALLY thankful, I mean seriously feeling blessed to get to come home. Usually, I don't think about blessings such as having a sturdy garage to park my car, a warm house to find shelter in, a cozy couch to rest my body, a fridge full of food, an indoor toilet, or a bed to snuggle up in. The list could go on and on.
Instead of just running through life taking my blessings for granted, this week really opened up my eyes to the blessings overflowing in my life. It's not that I didn't want to come home before, I definitely breathe a sigh of relief as I pull into my garage after a day at work, but I didn't realize how awesome I have it. I love seeing Tom every day and being able to kiss him hello, eat dinner together and live life together, but this week I couldn't WAIT to see him. I couldn't wait to get home and hang out with him.
My home has been a refuge this school year and I am so incredibly thankful for it and everything in it. I've learned that just because I am going through a rough patch in one area of my life doesn't mean that all areas of my life have to be affected by that one aspect. Also, my prayer life has definitely flourished these past couple of months. I know that God is with me and has a plan and purpose for my life. He is my ultimate rock and my ultimate refuge.
I am proof that when you seek God with all your heart, He will be found and He will be found faithful.
