The little things

I have definitely been in a little bit of a struggle lately as I have been dealing with some things as home and pain from a hand injury. I have found that its hard to be optimistic when it seems impossible to over come directly what is in front of you. I think little by little the Lord is showing me happiness in the little things.
I had a very bold conversation today with another student in my class about life goals. Most of the students are adults so it was kinda different to have the conversation but I know that it was God using me. Who knew. I am not usually one to talk much so I walked away amazed at the power of God. Its cool how both parties are often affected when God shows up. :)
I also had a little visit to a dear friend last night who I have missed. She always seems to remind me of the simple power of touch and what it means to love in all moments. She is very special to my heart so it was good to see her. Upon arriving home I found myself just having a moment as I sat in the kitchen floor and let my puppy lick peanut butter off my finger. I was hurting so much from the pain that I wanted to cry but I couldn't help but smile at the moment.
Overcoming challenges becomes harder when the enemy know how to get you down. It becomes easier to run from Jesus when really we need him more than anything in those moments.
I have found myself dreaming about a lot of things on my heart lately and I seem to be constantly reminded that one day my impossible will come true by the hands of God. Believing this is from God and I just have to hold onto that for now.
And along the way it really is the little things that keep us going.
Eager to be able to hold my camera again. Ready for some lovely new photos :)
