Oh Happy Day

Happy Easter!
So I've been dying to blog...but what about? For the last 2 months life has felt, well, normal. Work, work, work, the occasional day off, then work again. I find myself often wondering where God's going with all of this. I find amazing peace in knowing that He has a plan, and get excited about what He has in store for us. Still, it's difficult. Difficult to watch Josef study and stress, difficult to hold on to my inner joy in the face of rude customers and frustration, difficult to understand the countless things in life that just don't make sense to me. I'm a hamster on a wheel and while exhaustion and fatigue seem to be a constant, I feel like I'm still not moving forward at the pace I'm used to. Right now, He has called me to support our family with a job that daily humbles me and it all seems so mundane, so dull.

But today, Zac (one of our pastors) said something that really stuck with me. If we truly believe our Savior is alive, then there are no normal days. Hmmm. No normal days. Instead of "waiting for life to start" or "just getting through it" I should make it a mission of mine to see the adventure in every day. Loving people, using every circumstance both good and bad to grow in the fruits of the spirit and walk a little closer to God. Not one day of this journey is wasted, as long as I am daily dying to myself and surrendering to His much better plan. Today, we celebrate that He is risen, and that should always be enough. I challenge myself, and all of us to wake up tomorrow renewed. To find new purpose and meaning in every single thing we do, and to do it all for His glory.
