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!

Egg whites, quiet night and twinkling lights (and a broken cell phone)

That is my weekend for you. It is a little past 9. I slept in til 8:32 today. No one is home. The weather is flawless. The house is warm. Eggs in the morning are my favorite. I have nothing to do today and no one even to form plans with. I have 2 books that I need to finish. Did I mention no one was home. My knees even kind of feel a little better today. The twinkling lights on the porch are on and so inviting. I had the perfect, peaceful Friday night with my cell phone off and some good conversation. Oh yeah, no one is home and therfore, clothes more than a tshirt are not an essential. Football is on all day today but I am going to forget that I know that. And actually, my cell phone is now officially dead.
I really couldn't ask for anything more. God knew I needed this weekend to spend all the time I could just being quiet and listening. Listening to Him. I am not even going to try to recap the cool things that have happened or been realized the past few months but it is enough to need a weekend if not a week to just sit and listen. Everything about where I am right now is peaceful. I know this is rarely the case in life because we tend to take the God-given tranquility out of even the simplest of things. But I know when we are able to literally, let go and let God, our entire disposition is transformed about even those simplest of things. (Thanks, mama, for that truth.)
Thank You, God, for an incredible, relaxing Friday night and now a whole weekend of nothing to look forward to.
My cell phone is really dead so don't get mad at me for ignoring you. And, that, too, couldn't have happened at a better time.
