It’s the end of another month and once again we find ourselves back in civilization. This whole month I have been dreaming about a cup of drip coffee with a bowl of ice cream to compliment it’s sultry deep undertones. Have you ever looked forward to something so much and placed it on a pedestal to the point that once you finally partake in that special something, it just isn’t what you dreamed it to be? Well, that was not the case at all. Ice cream and drip coffee are a delightful combination and I suggest that you all experience the goodness.
Its funny the things that were so mundane in America become luxury items here. I had my first hot shower in a month and finally got the smell of what we lovingly refer to as “wet nasty” off of me. We were giddy excited over a toilette that we could SIT on, actual laundry, a bed in which we can sleep on our sides with out our legs falling asleep, and real legit AMERICAN breakfast.
Eggs + toast + coffee = bliss!
I am still trying to process the month. I promise that there will be a blog post soon summing up our stay in Nepal, but for now it's time to just be.
Too often I feel like I either need to be planning ahead the next step and prepping for the next phase in life or looking back and processing lessons learned.
Not today.
Today is for being in the present moment wrapped up in how the Lord sees me and loves me.
I sat down with my cup of coffee just now with my journal and pen in hand expecting to process the last month, but the Lord put a stop to my busy mind and wrecked me with His goodness. The Creator of the universe, the King of kings, the Mighty God who is full of compassion wanted to spend time with ME. He wanted to sit across the table from me and just love on ME. How crazy awesome is that? We serve a God who will love you no more or no less than He does at this very moment. You can do nothing to earn it and you can do nothing to loose it.
I don’t have anything else to say at present. As we sit here it is pouring down rain and people are sprinting through the streets getting soaked regardless of how fast they run. I am surrounded by an abundance of different languages and cultures from Chinese to British to Nepali and I have no idea what we are going to do tomorrow or the next day. All I know is that regardless of how much I process or plan, the Lord will have His way and His way is perfect.
So, shut your computer, close your eyes and breathe. Its time to sit in the moment and be still.
