Happiness

 


Where do I start? I don't know. Have you ever felt like you don't know....how to feel....what to do....confused....but ok all at the same time?

I try to hold it together and do a pretty good job. I think God is holding me together. I am happy today. Why? Well let me tell you! It's like this picture of Mt. St Helens. It is so far but so majestic and big. Our problems and day to day life can seem so big, but God is better and we focus on him, we will see the majestic creation and beautiful life around us.

I am relaxing. I am currently in this little amazing coffee shop. Evidently in Portland you don't go to Starbucks, but to the local shops. Some not so good, but this one is really good. It isn't loud, but busy and so friendly. I will be heading to church soon this morning for the second service with baby girl. She is singing today!! BUT....I am out of KY. Not working!! and I am spending some awesome time with my baby girl! It is hard to be so far away from your kids. But they have to grow up and move on. That is what parents do. But again, that is so hard to let our little birds fly. 

Did I say that Baby girl is singing a solo at church today, on Mother's Day! This made my day. I come to visit her and get to hear her sing! This brings joy to my heart. It has been a while to hear her sing. I just have my recordings that I listen to. I call it "E---- Radio"!

So today and this week, I am good. And I know my God will carry me when this week is over, And help be get through the gazillion emails when I get back to work!! But I am not going to think about that. God has placed a wonderful smile on my face, and a song in my heart.

Nehemiah 8:10  “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Love to all,
