Rest in Goodness

It's 8:33, and I should be asleep. My husband is/is trying even as I type this. But, I can't sleep just yet, and I haven't written in a while, so I decided to. 

Because, I am learning. So many things. 

August sucked. September, except for a few parts (like seeing one of my best friends get married/visiting one of my other very best friends) sucked. 

I've taken to memorizing scripture. Like it's a life line. Like it's my job, and well, it is. I've paid special attention to Philippians 4:8, and Matthew 6:34. Go look them up, I'm to lazy to type them out. I've been learning/been being taught that we are to take it one day at a time.

I can't control tomorrow, I can't control money, I can't control people, I can't control time, I can't control the president, I can't control some of the things my body has done, and I can't control situations. But, 

I can control me. 

I can control my thoughts and actions, and instead of dwelling on things that are negative and silly, I think about true and lovely and honorable things. Instead of worrying about tomorrow I remember that God is I Am, not I was or I will be. He's the God of Today. 

And you know, I have good days and bad days, but today was a good day. I was thinking last night about bills and people and food and how I'm going to buy groceries and what all I needed to do this week, but, today, I quieted myself. I thought about God's goodness and with a rational mind I thought about His faithfulness. 

And He proved to me that this is Truth. 

And I'm going to go to sleep soon, curl up next to my husband, and I'm going to truly rest in His goodness. 

For now friends, look at me and my husband being adorable. 

Because we are.

And I met a girl who's trying to start her own business and she took pictures of us and it was wonderful. And it was cute. And I love them. 

So look at our faces and smile, because we are. :)

Um, the water was cold.
