Enjoyment

Over the past few days I have really been enjoying God's presence in my life and the peace I am finding in him. Last night I was able to just stay at home and talk with him and feel at peace in being alone in my home. I am not used to that and I have been very intimidated by being alone at my apartment, but last night was nice. I felt relaxed, confident and I just enjoyed knowing that I really wasn't alone. God was there and I just talked with him on and off throughout the evening. I watched "Friends", ate dinner and colored my hair and I was okay with that. I didn't feel overwhelmed or too sad. I was content and happy to be doing my own thing. I played music and danced around my apartment and walked Enzo and went to the library. It was nice to just be there. I really feel like it is my refuge from the hustle of the work day. I am so thankful for my place and my puppy. Sure there are times when I feel overwhelmed and that's okay too. I need to allow myself to just feel those feelings and know that even though they come, they always go too.

Lord,
Thank you for my apartment and settling your sweet, loving spirit there. Thank you for the moments of peace that I do have through my days. You are in control and each day I learn to lean on you a little more. Thank you for loving me and caring about me and what I am faced with. I trust you and I know that you want nothing more for me than to be happy and to walk in your will. I will try daily to learn and grow in what you have for me rather than what the world would have for me. Fill me Lord with your Holy Spirit. Make my cup run over with your love and presence in my life. Fill me with your unfailing love. Fill me with your peace, strength and wisdom. Thank you for loving me in the midst of all of my imperfections. Thank you for the breath in my lungs. I praise your name. You are worthy to be praised.

Psalm 23
1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
