R-E-S-T

Hello friends!

It has been a long time since I last posted on my blog, but I feel like it is time to resurrect it. The purpose of this blog is to remind myself {and whoever reads it!} of the small yet beautiful gifts God gives me each and every day. Ever since graduating from college a couple months ago, my life has been on a roller coaster, and I often times find it difficult to be grateful.

A couple of years ago, when I was going through a real tough time with things at home, this blog gave me hope. Well, the Bible gave me Hope, but this blog gave me a conduit to articulate it. I would wake up each morning, filled with wonder at what I could be thankful for that day. It was such a marvelous blessing in the midst of trial.

So, here I am, a college graduate, working my way through relationships, jobs, finances, and a completely different pace of life. It is time I make my Daily Offering once again. :)


Today's offering is simple: I am so incredibly grateful for a good night's sleep.

I have not been sleeping well recently, and it wasn't until last night that I was able to go to bed at a good time and wake up early to start my day. I woke up thanking God for genuine rejuvenating rest, something I have been deprived of for a while. I was able to make a yummy breakfast, read my Bible, and work on the various tasks I had for the day {one of which was meeting up with a friend at California Adventure! -- difficult stuff, I know ;)}. With out a good night's rest, today would have been simply draining; instead, it was energizing!

Lord, thank you for rest.
