something to write home about...

"you know what's the best?"
I find myself asking/saying that a lot lately.
it's followed by stating something that makes me smile,
that I am thankful for, or that just makes life easier.
like being able to cook in a real kitchen. [smile]
or having someone email you back...unexpectedly. [thankful]
or simply that the train brings me into the city in a matter of minutes.
[efficient public transportation = the best]

They're the kind of things that all together make you see that
life is good.

I'm just sitting here right now, another successful day has gone by.
Successful in the context that the things that needed to get done,
got done with ease. now that is the best.

Last night I took the opportunity to go for a run. In the dark. In the cold dark
that is our little neighborhood here in Melbourne. I missed that.
(Being able to safely run or walk around a neighborhood)
After releasing all my excess (caffeine-induced) energy, I found myself sitting on a swing.
Just talking to God. I love these times. Yesterday was such a good day. A productive day.
But I really began to ask him whether what I was doing was what he wanted me to do.
Sometimes I get ahead of myself when I put my mind to something, that I lose sight of what God wants to do with me. Through me. All these questions came out about everything. Basically,
Am I where He wants me to be? Am I still following Him? Is my heart in line with His? Were the things that I completed yesterday, a result of me following him? Or of me running off on my own ambition?
I asked. then I slept on it.

This morning I met Heather. Randomly. (well unexpectedly for me).
One of my 'worries' from the night before had to do with where God has called me...journalism.
I got to share with her the idea, the big-picture God has given me that has to do with journalism etc.
Funny thing...that's where her heart is too.
While she was thinking she was the only one with that interest ('call'), and I was thinking that I would be all alone,
just like that we meet. And can encourage one another.
God talks back.
and that's the absolute best.
