Dress Day

Though today was rainy and nausea dogged me all day, I've found myself feeling as though I'm carrying a warm ball of light inside my chest.

As the rain sprayed through the chilly air outside Chick-fil-a's windows today, something akin to glee began to swim through my veins. It was not lost on me, this stark departure from my usual reaction to rain. I was grateful almost to tears for the nourishing parts of life as, even if just for a moment, I could feel almost physically God's provision in the things which are not always comfortable. Speaking of, rumor has it I'm scheduled to work 39 hours next week. It's a blessing in the hard stuff.

After the 8 hour day of work today, I returned home to find that my wedding dress had been delivered! I hurriedly tried on the flowing chiffon dress and my heart skipped a beat when it zipped up perfectly. Thrilled.

Now I'm exhausted and ready to crash.

Thank you, Father, for letting me see your heart in the rain.
