And what about now?

It happens to everyone. We find ourselves waiting for something, not anything in particular, just something.  I've realized that that is what I have been doing lately; I've been waiting for something unexpected to swipe me from behind, some wonderful surprise.  Sitting around waiting, looking forward, when today I realized what I have now. I have been so preoccupied with what I think is going to happen. I'm continually asking, "Okay God, how about now?", when I noticed today I shouldn't be expecting anything extravagant.  
Today was an amazing day of peace.  Today I figured out for myself that there is beauty in the uneventful.  I did nothing today but sit and talk.  It wasn't anything mind blowing, it was just what I needed.  I talked life with one of my amazing friends and we just spent time together quietly.  It was so rewarding to spend the day with her and I feel as if I was overlooking the simplicity in things before. I loved every minute of my day!
Through all my rambles, I'm just trying to say that living in the moment is so important.  I constantly have to remind myself to stop worrying so much about the future and to take hold of what and who I am with now.  This day reminded me about how rewarding it is to be in the moment, free of concerns and troubles.  I am blessed beyond belief to be where I am today and shouldn't be asking for more.  I truly believe I have it all right now.  God has put me where I need to be in this moment and I need to take advantage of it. This has been nothing but a beautiful day of God showing me His plan for me.  I may not know what tomorrow or the next day may hold, but all I need to know is that it is in God's hands.


Slow down and appreciate the good things.
