life.

Life right now is simple.

I wouldn't say it's wonderful.

But simple.

Independent.

Peaceful.

Borderline boring at times...filled with adventure at others.

It's nice.

I wake up. I work out. I go to work. I work out and read. I run my errands. I go to dinner. I see friends. I go to church some days. I journal or blog. I watch TV. I go to bed.

Then I do it all over again.

That's my life these days. It's simple. I'm accountable to no one really, other than those I ask to keep me accountable.

I can take a 2 hour nap on the couch if I so desire or let my brain rot away watching Seinfeld or the Bachelor. I can work 2 hours late if I need too and no one will cry. I can go grab a bite with friends on a whim or spend a few dollars over my budget. I can.

I know I crave change. I pray daily that the Lord brings it quickly.

I also know that this season is fleeting and someday I will long for the days of simplicity that I have now. Someday, when I'm holding a sick baby and longing for a full nights sleep or worrying about what I'll make for dinner for me and my husband or overwhelmed by responsibility.

Today - the time, the freedom - is nothing short of a gift.

I pray that the Lord stills the anxiousness in my heart and allows me to fully embrace this season, even with its simplicity, for all of the gifts seen and unseen that it offers.
