A little part of the Big story.....fka "My Year to Thrive"

My favorite word in highschool was Lagniappe thanks to Dr. Sims. Lagniappe is 'a little something extra.' I just like the word and the french origin. Hope you enjoy a little something extra today!

Long overdo......Hallelujiah

I am not even sure how to spell that word but I am feeling it. I am sitting in my yard at 4pm on a Thursday working from my laptop - because yes, I am cool and now have wireless anc can about drive around my block and still get the internet. I am finishing up work and enjoying the sunshine. And I am enjoying it more than I have in a long time. Let's skip the last few weeks because bluntly - they have sucked. I havent been able to sleep. I have been anxious about God knows what. I have been so busy that I can barely find time to pee. I have been down for obvious reasons nd frustrated that I couldnt find my way out. So let's just skip it all because I can say Thank God for that terrible time today. I feel alive again. Finally!
God totally used the last few miserable weeks to steal my heart again. I wsant being very reluctant with it and I was holding onto things of the past that werent good for me. I finally feel like I can breathe again.
Tonight I am going to my 3 dance classes that I am now a superstar in. This is the best - yes, really - the best feeling I have felt in a while to go hide out at my little dance studio for ungraceful people like myself. Last week I turned off my phone for maybe the first time ever and didnt think about anything but me and the happiness I felt from just doing something solely for me.
And this weekend the weather is to be sunny and 70 - all weekend. Hallelujiah again. Tomorrow night I am going to one of my favorite performers - Keb Mo with my buddy Gray. I have been looking forward to this for 2 months ever since we heard he was coming. It'll be a great start to a great weekend. I can predict it.

Back to work now from my front yard. But if not for my ownself, I wanted the world to know how God really works foir the good of those who love Him! I am constantly amazed by His contant pursuit of me even when no one else would want to be around me.
And that is the perfect picture of Grace.
