A love affair with God.....

Well, it's been a very quiet week in IOP. The new condo is settled and ready for the two new "squatters" to move in, one this weekend and one the end of the month. I'm flying low on the radar screen on the details of the who, what, when and where till I get full permission to speak in detail. Stay tuned! :-)
But, I was thinking as I drove to work...can't believe I get paid to do what I'm doing right now at the Rec Center at IOP, it has been an uneventful week. Do you have ANY idea what that's like to say that in my world?? haha....
I thought....did I miss a small moment to relish in this week. I remembered a quote from a book. "When I stop and pay attention to 'holy moments' in my day like a smile, a hug for no reason (there is never a need for a hug...I adore hugging!), a rabbit hopping across our yard (does the largest palmetto bug I've ever seen walking across my carpet heading straight for my computer bag this morning count?? BTW, it freaked me out so bad I grabbed the hand held vac to take him to the Lord this morning!) or a family of geese making their way to the lake ( I... am... waiting... in anticipation to see the turtle team lead a family of sea turtles out to sea this summer....this will be BIG ya'll!) or my heart connecting with another....ahhhh, there's an adorable mom who brings her three little ones to the gym every afternoon so they can play together. I love it! My heart swells everyday when I see her and think about the country song, 'someday you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast'. I think it on a regular basis with a smile of joy for the blessing of my three fabulous children! These are the moments I start living with the awe and wonder of a love affair with God."

So,I just had to stop and change the blog name because this wasn't at all what I thought I was going to write. But, here it is........
Tomorrow, take the time to stop and notice the funny things in your day (um...like me screaming while I suck a roach up into my hand held vac----do the South Carolinians realize their Palmetto bugs are ROACHES!!?) and the moments when you live with the awe and wonder of this love affair God ordained for us!

Bless your hearts ya'll ;-)
