I thought about how the weather may hinder all tke kiddo's Easter hunt and how the women may have to change their mind about the Easter outfit they've prepared weeks in advance. Thinking, why is this weather so indecisive? After reflecting on what MY WANTS and what I expected Easter Sunday to look like, I had an epiphany. I'm so ashamed of my shallow thoughts. This the story of my life.
Sometimes, I can get so caught up in MY WAY and MY EXPECTATIONS. I cling on to the mentality of "this is the way I see it and this is how it's going to be." I cannot think of a more unhealthy way of thinking. As a daughter of God, I understand that when I let go, surrender MY WAY, and stop questioning God's grace and simply just let God have HIS WAY. It's such a simple concept... Let go, Let God.
I'm happy I overcame my moody funk. As I write, I now hear a bird chirping right outside my window. : ) How did a rainy morning, ruined easter egg hunts, and change of outfit lead to such a valuable lesson? : ) My mind travels a million mph. All i know is, I've never appreciated a rainy day so much. I hold firm to the true meaning of Easter.
This is my first Easter I've ever spent all by myself. Looks like it will be just me and God, and I'm fine with that. It's actually exactly what I need.. some good ol' quality time with me and God. I'm cooking a delicious open-faced turkey sandwich. (i'll upload a recipe) Off to put on my Sunday's best, go to church, cook, and then head to work. I hope everyone has a beautiful and blessed Easter holiday!
He rose!
