When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.
- Albert Einstein
This quote kind of sums up what I've been thinking about lately. As I get closer to graduation, I am beginning to realize how very far I've come in the past few years. However, I am also realizing how impatient I have been as well. I wanted to be done with clinicals, then I wanted to get a job, then I wanted to get a new car, then I wanted to spend time with Tyler this summer... and guess what? Those things all happened in time, and were perfect! Now the thought process goes like this: I wish we could get a house (even though our apartment is perfectly fine and zero upkeep!); I wish graduation and my national boards would hurry and get here (even though just a few days ago I was so thankful to just be finished with clinicals!); I'm ready to get settled into my job and be making a steady paycheck (even though God has been so faithful to provide for us and I am enjoying my summer immensely!)
God is slowly teaching me to be content with where I am RIGHT NOW, at this exact moment. And like the quote above says, there are bigger and better things to worry about. I am thankful to have a loving husband who continuously uplifts and encourages me, a caring family who constantly supports everything I attempt, a roof over my head in a nice, clean apartment, food to eat, a bed to sleep in, and a car to drive. All of the other things will fall into place in God's timing if I will only place them before His feet and allow Him to continue to provide for us.
So I am trying hard to live in the here and now - staying up late laughing with my husband, letting the laundry pile up while we play outside all day, going to Sonic for Happy Hour or getting a shaved ice, making art projects and scrapbooking, driving around just because - and enjoying every moment of every day during this season of my life!
