Yesterday’s contentment has carried over to today as we’ve had a snow day. I spent the day listening to homeschool classes and books while being lazy on the couch with my favorite blanket. Today I sent this text (see pic) and it was totally an “aha” moment. My life is so radically different than I ever imagined. But boy is it good. God knew exactly what I needed and when I quit following my own plans and started following the Holy Spirit, things went from bad to unimaginably wonderful.

About 10 years ago I was drawing unemployment and Jason had to give my occupation (for insurance or something similar) and they wrote down “homemaker” and I was highly offended. Like bad! That irony of that memory has been playing in my mind over the past few days. Right now I absolutely LOVE being a homemaker and couldn’t imagine my life any other way. I am beyond blessed… even with cancer, blessed. I never in a million years thought I’d be happy being a homemaker… I hated cooking, and keeping a house, and I was constantly on the go and in high pressure situations…. Now, life is slow. It is easy and restful. I’m in love with it.

I hope that God brings you to the place that you are in your slice of heaven. With perfect days and wonderfulness beyond your dreams!
