No, this isn't a melancholy statement, because I know that many of you have thought the same thing.
Today was Tuesday.
But all day, I had to keep looking at my phone (because calendars have escaped me) to see what day it was. And every time the screen lit up and announced the day, I promptly thought to myself how it didn't feel like a Tuesday.
You see, it's just life now. Life, as living and breathing and moving and loving. It's an alarm clock in the morning, ushering in a new day. It's the groggy hello that comes from your mirror as you walk by. It's a creative breakfast of whatever you find in the fridge, like scrambled egg sandwiches, or a bowl of cereal with strawberries and bananas. (Don't make fun...Simple can be creative too!) It's the lovely walk to work, a time for some exercise, memorizing verses, and praying.
Life is starting a "new" job. Or rather, the same job, just a full-time position. It's talking to people, hearing each individual story of God's grace. It's investing in lives that He loves. It's living grace to those around me. It's ministry. It's people. It's life.
God's grace for "simple" life is amazing. Because it's the same grace, mercy, peace, and love from God that is immense enough for difficult storms and "normal, boring" life! The same God of Moses, who championed over the Egyptians through God's power and lead an entire nation thousands of miles, is STILL MY GOD. The same God of Paul, loves Bekah thoroughly!
Life. It's fascinating, really!
Sweet perspective, Bekah. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, regardless of what situations we face in life...even if it's "just normal." Thanks for sharing this perspective!
