I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I think one of the biggest ways the enemy tries to get me distracted and discouraged is with a false sense of urgency. Like Ill have plenty of time to send an encouraging email, or pray for someone, or think about something important, but ill feel this big rush rush rush tug...like a voice saying you don't have time for this!!!

Whats funny is I never feel that way when I'm wasting time with unimportant things..

I don't want to rush through my life. I want to be diligent with my time in a way where I can guiltlessly enjoy the simple pleasures in life. The still, calm, sweet moments.

P.S. Today is one of those days where I woke up sooo stoked to be alive. I can't stop smiling or laughing. I feel creepy because I'm like driving around cracking up by myself haha. I just have so much to be happy about. It is really unbelievable how blessed I am. I do not deserve any of the incredible gifts I have. One thing that I am especially grateful for today is people. I LOVE people!!!!!!! The mail lady smiled at me today and it meant so much to me to share that moment with her. Me and my mom shared a salad and an iced tea and that was really special too. I have wonderful friends sending me encouraging texts all day. I have a mom, a dad, a brother and a sister!!!! mannnnnnnnnnnnnn. I don't deserve any of this. Thank you Lord for your good gifts!!

P.P.S. I am on a major tea kick this week.
