This is the 30 Day Commitment Cleanse.
DAY 1:
I am recovering from two sprained ankles right now. I have cancelled Zumba, taken off of work, and cancelled social plans. What may surprise you is that I'm not really upset.
Yes, the dip in my paycheck will hurt a little, but this time has been very valuable to me. Over the past week, I have slept, and read, and played with my little sister. I have prayed, studied Scripture, and spent time with my family. I have been forced to rest.
And I am embracing it.
I am thankful that I have time to experience the peace of God. I am thankful that I have the stillness to appreciate His glory unfolding in the creation around me. I am thankful that I have time to engage in quality conversation catching up with people whose friendships I hold dear. This time of rest has given me the time to write and send letters. This time has given me opportunities to build patience. I am thankful, and I am content.
Laugh. Inspire. Believe. Love.
