not the blog i thought i was going to write

i thought i was going to blog about crafts today. post pictures of my new earrings hanger, my dresser, my antique buys, etc.

but instead i am just frustrated/sad/bitter (aka sinning). it is times like these that make me remember why heaven will be paradise.

let me stop there. no one died, no one has cancer, i am being far more dramatic-sounding than what is really going on.

what's really going on is the reminder that this life does not satisfy. it is not stable or secure. i will never have a job, home, or future to bank on. things change as soon as you get comfortable and that is the only thing i am sure will stay the same.

but i'm glad to have this reminder of the promise of a perfect world. thank the lord that there is something better, and it turns out that that something is my HOME! how cool that the place i'm going to feel most care-free is not a vacation, but a permanent dwelling place where i am made to feel secure, taken care of, consistent love, and comfortability. praise.

on that note... i feel totally christian wifey right now. because hubzy and i had a wonderful prayer/scripture time tonight. so real and open. we hadn't really been that vulnerable in front of the Lord and each other at the same time. i want more of that in my life!

lastly... i'm sure hoping that i will have the dresser "reveal" to you sometime this weekend. yippee.

i'm going to sit back and enjoy my pumpkin pie candle and an episode of lie to me before bed time.

have a wonderful weekend!
(and blog all about it!)

reading this did two things for me:
1) make me really thankful for such a god-seeking and encouraging friend. you know I needed to read this.
2) kick myself for telling you all about my life last night and never asking how you're doing. lets talk again soon- about you, not me. :)

thanks for this.
love you.
