Acceptance with Joy.

THIS is my world right now. I just turned around, and was glad to see that Laura was finding herself some good entertainment amidst her homework! I am so thankful for the entertainment... this day has been a little bleak... well the last several hours at least!

It is nuts! For once I don't need to be sitting in front of my computer all day... and yet, here I am plopped... in Jenny's chair, at Jenny's spot... using Jenny's earphones (THANKS JENNY! i hope you don't mind... haha!) and just chilling, like I own the place... haha.

Around me are all these awesome women, diligently at work on their assignments... and here I sit... getting NOTHING accomplished... and LOVIN it... though finding it making me slightly sleepy, and sad... longing for time at home... with the brothers, sisters... parents... little noodle in my sister's tummy... and everyone else I love and do not see in the flesh on this side of the world!

SNAP OUT OF IT! I think i will go spend some time in the kitchen... cooking always fills my heart with joy... and now that I come to think of it... I can't wait to get in there... and "create" with dear Jenna, and grand Laura. OH. God is good to bless us with such as these... and teach us in the midst of any sort of trial to accept what He has given us... and find the joy which He pours out on each new day.
