Peace

I took my dogs on a walk this morning and it was soo peaceful. I blasted some David Crowder on my iPhone and just enjoyed walking. I wish I could walk them every morning, but I have to be at work by 7:30 and its dark until like 7. Too bad. There weren't any loose dogs (I probably see an average of about 5 a week in my neighborhood), and there wasn't really anybody out...it was fantastic! And I'm totally loving this Spring weather...although Spring in Texas is pretty much like Summer anywhere else, ha ha. Today's high is 85 (it was only in the 60s this morning)!

But anyway, this week has been so drastically different than last week. Ya, there were some rocky moments this week, but I think my attitude toward them was completely different. Last week, I was just overcome by everything and really felt burdened and frustrated. Last week seems like so long ago. This week, I was able to laugh when my dogs escaped not once, but TWICE into my neighbors' yards. As much as last week sucked, I feel like I needed to go through that to just trust that God is in control. It made me so much more confident that I can get through this deployment (with God's help, of course). My focus is so much more on the day-to-day now instead of how many more months I need to get through until Nick's home. So that's good.

Well, it should be a fun, busy weekend. I'm trying to get most of my chores done because I'm going to a plant festival with one friend today and then possibly rock climbing with another friend after church tomorrow!
