With good reason. If not for Tim, my bedroom would look a little like this....
While Tim would much prefer....
Vastly different tastes. Imagine my dismay.
So we've procrastinated quite a bit in the bedroom decor' department. Until recently.
A lamp was purchased. Pictures were hung.
It is funny how two or three items can just make you feel human again.
Who knew such comfort could come from the soft glow of a $6 Family Dollar Lamp.
In other news,
Tim is sick. Not SICK SICK, but like 24 hour bug, don't get off the couch, sick.
I used to resent the size of this house, but lately I am oh-so thankful for it. Were our house much larger, we'd probably be much farther apart. Him on a basement couch....me in some Master Suite, two flights up. After a horrible night's sleep, he is finally sleeping on the couch in the living room not 15 feet away from me and I am holed up in our bedroom with my Bible, my blog,and my New Favorite Lamp. There is also a Rather Pitiful Pile of Fur snoozing next to me.
I like the fact that I can so easily check on him. Yes. On more than one occasion, I have peeked around the corner to ensure that he is still breathing. I am my Mother's Daughter.
This morning, a tiny house is our blessing.
With that being said, I am waiting. You know. Waiting to get it.
It.
Germs. Ugh.
I have said it once, if not a million times, and I will say it again. I feel as if my life is just a series of moments in which I just give everything over to something so much bigger than myself.
So much bigger than any of us.
There it is. The word Surrender.
Read: There isn't enough Lysol in the world to save me at this point.
I don't know much these days, but I do know that The Bible says that nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:13
I don't know why, but I am taking so much comfort in that ...and my tiny blue lamp.
Cautiously Optimistic,
H.
