I thank God for waking me up, I praise Him for the morning routine and structure. I thank Him for the verse He wanted me to read last night before bed and I will praise Him again for any future “word” to read.
I slowly wake up; I was already awake at 4:15am CST this morning, dreams were weird, yet fluid, and strong. My sleep was good and heavy. I knew I would dream last night, I knew that when I read His word I would see something, and I never really know what the dream means. This is ok for me. I don’t need to know what my dreams mean and I just wait to see what I see, notice what I notice, and go on from here.
It’s quiet here at the AmericInn in Blue Earth. The parking lot is full, and yet it’s quiet. I’m under the impression this hotel is for people traveling through for work. There are many work trucks in the lot and I will begin to hear these men and women drive off to their work site. I, again, am grateful and blessed to move slow this morning, see what I see and hear what I hear.
I normally never drink the coffee in these types of rooms and today I’m doing it. It’s nice, it’s warm, it’s a little sweet, and smells wonderful. I will write here when I can, I will gather my overnight things, and I will set off for the rest of the drive to Midland, SD.
The drive will only take about 4.5 hours, it will be straight, smooth, easy and furthermore it will be in territory I have driven before and have come to love. This drive marks the beginning of my journey into a career and vocation that I never thought myself to be 10 years ago, 5 years ago, or even 2 years ago. It’s amazing how God works in my world.
I am supported, I am resourced, I am grounded and moving slow, I am planting a seed that will flourish into many more seeds and plants and nutrition for my life. I will live happy, I will live productive, and I will live the best life I can.
Life is too short to not be happy.
