My Day Off

I spent my day off doing an assortment of things...

Met a pretty awesome girl for coffee. Babysat. Cooked. Cleaned.

As a write, Babbi, Donovan and myself are all sitting in the same room and were all getting along-surprisingly enough. (That doesn't happen often) We have the opportunity this week to spend a lot of time just the three of us, which I'm really looking forward too. We accomplished to do homework without fighting and all agree on the same thing for dinner. That is a huge accomplishment in our house!

Yep, you read correctly I spent my day off babysitting-some think its crazy...I think its easy extra cash.

I watched Carter roll around on the carpet, put things in his mouth, explore the house and his surroundings, and sleep all without a care in the world. He was perfectly content in the moment. Even when it came time for lunch, he wasn't worried because he knew that if he let me know I would feed him. The only thing that he was remotely concerned about was when I wasn't in the same room as him. I can't help but think that's how God wants things to be for us...

He wants us to be content in the moment. Not worry about tomorrow. Rest assured that He will provide. Explore knowing He has gone before to 'safe proof' our path and that He is following close behind to catch us if we fall.

I believe life is suppose to be that simple...but we as humans complicate it to no end. Like Carter was to me, the only thing we need to be worried about is the absence of Gods presence. I want to live my life in such a way that I am constantly, and even subconsciously aware of His presence.

I'm convinced that childlike faith is a discipline. We need to train ourselves to become like a child again. Being with Carter today, helped me once again to slow down and take the moment for what it is.

Going nowhere...Going to spend my time in the Now Here (nowhere) moment...Going to hang out with the two people than mean more to me than life itself. So thankful that God has given me another chance to influence their lives...for the better
