Happy Monday! I don’t know
about you, but sometimes I think that half of the struggle of Mondays is
admitting that the weekend is over. Especially when the weekend was full of
fun! When I started my job in September, I promised myself that I would not live
for the weekends, but do my best to enjoy every day; each day has something
special to offer. Even Mondays. Here’s what I’m loving on this rainy Monday:
1) The warm weather. Yes,
I’m aware that we’re supposed to get some snow showers this evening, but all
the sunshine this weekend made my heart so happy! I was able to wear shorts and
put on my sunglasses. Spring has arrived!
2) My J.Crew Navy Field
Jacket. When I got mine for super cheap last August, I never could have
imagined how much I would love it. Its shiny gold buttons and versatility has
made it one of my favorite things in my closet. It’s a great year-round item
because it’s lightweight and neutral, and a great alternative to a blazer.
3) Support Letters. Tis
the season for my college aged and missionary friends to begin raising support
for their summer adventures or another year of vocational ministry. I
absolutely love receiving letters asking me to be a part of their team and join
them as they take the Gospel to the nations! While I am confident of where the
Lord has me in this season, some days I long to give it all* away and go! By
helping to support them, I can be part of their adventure and watch their
hearts change as a result. *When I say “all” I mean everything except my Navy
Field Jacket J
4) Jen Hatmaker’s Interrupted is rocking my world. She
writes about how a small prayer changed her and her family’s life to be more
outwardly focused. It’s convicting me that maybe I’m chasing the wrong things.
It’s not about climbing the social ladder, it’s about hanging out at the
bottom. The bottom is where Jesus lived. The bottom is the holy land. She at
one point said, “We’re all poor, I just have more stuff,” and elaborated on
what it looks like to be poor in spirit. Jesus, show me just how poor I am so I
let you meet my every need.
It’s Easter week, which
means I get to see my family this weekend! Today, I’m choosing joy on a Monday
because life is good and God is good. Let’s choose joy together today! What are
you loving this Monday?
