I'll admit. Sometimes I get the Facebook blues. I see America turning into a summer fun fest. I see friends going to all the places I love. I see the wardrobes adjusting and I see family gatherings. I even had the thought recently, "Wow, people get to do fun things multiple times per week!" like go out to eat, go shopping, the movies, a park, the library! Although our days are never mundane, they aren't filled with the "fun" I know. I long for a Starbucks, a menu where all the items are available, a choice of restaurants, a grocery store not infested with cockroaches and rats...yes, I long to go out after dark and do something nice--even once a month! Yes, sometimes I feel sorry for me.
But then, yesterday while doing what I love, I sat with a patient and realized, "this is one incredible human being." If I were anywhere else I wouldn't know her. Just sitting with her, I knew with a deep sense of knowing, that because of her, I'm in the center of His will. Sitting with her felt like a beautiful fragrance to the Lord and I realized, it's okay my family and I miss out on other things because these relationships are the sweetest, and this life, though not easy, means something and because of it, I get to know her...
AND HIM!
