Today's Discoveries

Today is great, but weird.  And as Cecily put it, "it is leap day, no wonder why everything feels weird!"   Those are my thoughts exactly.  On this day that comes only once every four years I cannot explain the weird, good but crappy-ness of this day.  Today, this is my attempt to put together the good, and the weird, of this leap day 2012.  

So here it is the good the bad and the weird, Leap Day edition:

Good:

• It was spring-y outside this morning on my walk to class (a nice 48 degrees and sunny and windy morning).
• Waking up slowly.
• Catching up with friends.

Bad: 

• As I left class the sky turned ominous-looking and, see ya later Mr.Sun rain is on its way.
• Wanting to snuggle under my favorite blanket all day long.
• Having an exam to study for while having absolutely no motivation.

Weird: 

• Wisconsin weather in general is just inexplicable and crazy, but I have learned that Patagonia is my best friend in these weird weather times.
• Having a coffee pot break thus making our kitchen a steam room complete with foggy windows.

Another Really Really Really Good:

God.  He knows exactly how I am feeling through this weird day without giving me the ability to express it.  Through the Word, He has been sending me words of comfort and wisdom and giving me purpose in these seemingly insignificant days.  

Today, He is teaching me how to Pray, how to be constantly in conversation with Him.  He is teaching me that prayer is an amazing form of WORSHIP.  

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. -Colossians 4:2

I will strive to do just that.  Today, I am striving to devote myself to worshiping Christ in prayer.  I am striving to be watchful of the little things in my life on this day being thankful for each and every weird thing.  

Happy Leap Day
