so much and so little time...

i've been processing a lot of stuff lately. so much stuff that my brain won't be able to handle all of the stuff that is in it. i've felt every single emotion in so many different, random ways that it sorta just makes me laugh thinking about.

i'm really starting to enjoy those little gifts in life that i really believe God blesses us all with. today it was a red cardinal in a tree. i passed him as i was walking in this beautiful weather we've been having. i just love to hear the birds! that in itself is a gift. another day back around mardi gras i went into work on a saturday for some extra hours. i came back to my car and had beads around my drivers side mirror. all the cars on the side of the road that i was parked on had some sort of beads on their car! i just laughed, almost cried because it was right after i went down to new orleans...so thank you to whoever put that on my car.

my thought is that God blesses us everyday with little things. he loves us more then i think we will ever understand...i'm still processing that. :) and i think i sometimes overlook that love that is so needed everyday. i end up turning to other things that just won't compare to Gods love. i admit my failure in that area, but i just don't want to miss God in my life. I want to experience the richness he has in plan for me. and i want to experience peoples stories in life of what God is doing in them. he's doing something little and/or big in all of our lives.

are we just willing to let go and follow him? most days i'd say yes to that question, but when i take my eyes off Jesus then i end up just falling in the water. maybe one day i'll stop being stupid and not look at sparkly things but only look at him! hehe :)
