Expectancy

I love this picture. We were at Bridget and Eric's house. They have a pool and it's proven to be a great tool to get our family together. Of course, Autumn loves it the most. It amazes me how she isn't afraid of the water at all. She slides down the slide with expectation of fun!

Her passion for life is aspiring. "Oh to be young again" is a qutoe I've found myself saying. I've realized youthfulness is a matter of the heart and not time.

This morning as I sat drinking my java and trying to wake up, my eye fell upon a card I tacked to my bulleting board. the front of the card has a quote from "Joyce". (You know me and Joyce are tight) :)

"We need to get up in the morning, EXCITED about life. We need to learn how to enjoy life and CELEBRATE life. We need to learn to live like little child with EXPECTANCY." So I decided this was a word for me from God. Yesterday I battled the "FUNK" all day. Fleeting thoughts of "this is it from now on" "get used to no fun" What lies! God reminded me this morning to stop and think about what am I expecting from today? boredom? loneliness? or peace and joy in Him? thank you Lord for teaching me in the little things. Help me to expect a life full of the abundance you've promised! i have so much to be thankful for. Help me to put my eyes back on you and this awesome life you've given to me. May I never feel entitled to happiness, but breathe in life deeply as if it might be my last chance to capture it. Help me to become like a little child in my attitude about life. I want to live life as you've intended and I don't want to miss a thing!!!
