Texas Forever


The view from my perch today in Austin. Any guesses? Hint: it's one of my favorite places on planet earth...

I'm thankful to be back in this quaint city filled with music and down-to-earth people. The Lord has smiled on my friend and me, providing the sweetest gifts in the last 24 hours. Just little things... an inexpensive hotel with free breakfast, free dinner last night because they felt it took too long to get our orders out to us, a nearby donut shop when we arrived at her workshop too early this morning and needed to kill some time. We both love the occasional donut.

The Lord has been speaking to me about having eyes to see these little expressions of His love for me this past week. I'm thankful to step into moments here with awareness in the form of thankful lenses to see how He lavishly meets me and provides for me. Experiencing Him in this way also frees me up to consider those around me... How can I be a blessing to them? What good works has He prepared in advance for me to walk in today?

And, on this Monday morning, He has also given me TIME. Time to write! I'm working on a chapter for the book and I received such helpful feedback over the weekend from a group of writers I'm getting to know. I'm anxious to dig in today and see how He leads me forward.

Cheers for a wonderful day ahead...
