This last week was a tough week. Kyle and I experience shock, pain, and grief. Kyle experienced a kind of reality and panic about life and family. I experienced learning to be patient in a different way. But in the midst of all of this the Lord made his presence known. In all the little things.
Celebrating a birthday and being able to still bring joy to someone else. Watching a family come together to surprise their mother while at school is still so wonderful.
Being able to watch my husband study for a test and be mesmerized by the fact that he is studying 7 days before he has the test! Skyping with my dog. Making Chili. Delivering chili. Teaching others about a frito boat. Seriously how is it that no one here knows what a frito boat is! Having a student spontaneously request something by first getting my attention and using a full sentence! Driving over to my sister house Friday and surprising my nephew with a last minute sleep over at my house. Being able to text a co-woker to return a red box movie for me. Watching my nephew wiggle in excitement. Waking up to the strange noises of my nephew. Going to the omsi and watching my nephew explore with Kyle. Teaching my nephew about rescuing animals. Cooking for my sister. Taking a bath in essential oils. Making a new friend at work. Having the desire to eat salad. Going to church on Sunday. Going over to my sisters house and doing insanity. Walking to the park. Getting a kiss form my nephew. Driving home and stopping by the mall. Getting a text from a friend wanting to bless kyle and I with airline points. Being humbled and learning how to receive. Being on the receiving end of getting help from a friend in community group. Finally realizing what community group is. Getting closer with a friend. Kyle getting 104% on his test. Learning how to fix the DVR. Finding a new show to obsess about. Having essential oils.
This whole week and weekend has been stressful but its the little things that make me slow down. Its the little things that make me see Christ and all the work he is doing. Christ is glorified through his own works. Not mine. I am the risotto and he is the chef. Adding little bits of joy and wonder into my life.
There are blessings everyday.
