one great day

"My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God."
- Proverbs 2:1-5

I had a good day today… worked on homework, worked on yearbook, did a little bit of knitting (I love knitting, and anything you make with your hands basically. I love being creative. It brings me much joy), made sugar cookies with my new cookie cutters from Christmas, made supper (stir fried chicken and vegetables, mmmmm), went to the library for a bit, went to the dorm and visited for a bit, rode around on a bicycle (although not too much, the roads are pure ice and I'm too afraid of wiping out!), and then just got back and now it's already midnight.

And in the midst of it all I talked to my good friend Carolyn from camp last summer for a good hour which was much fun. I miss her.

And it got me to thinking… I am so looking forward to the day when I have a solid home of my own and when I no longer have to worry about what I'm going to do for the summer and the next school year and where I'm going to store my stuff for the summer… and the day when I get to unpack my stuff and know that I'm not going to be packing it up again in two or four or eight months…

I am excited for the day that I'll be sitting in my kitchen or at my desk or on my bed and will be able to think… this is it, this is my home. This is where my husband and my children and me live. This is where we choose to spend our days. That is going to be one great day.

And all the world will be right,
And we'll feel so full and alive
In His wonder and His light,
And we will never be the same,
For I know we all will be changed,
And we will surely say,
This is the very best of days,
This is the very best,
The very best of days.
- Geoff Moore and the Distance, "Best Days"
