Spectacular skies

Happy Saturday evening everyone!

How are you all doing on this rather wet and chilly evening? All is well here. John and I have enjoyed a wonderful day together. We bummed around the lake a little but spent the majority of our day nestled up under warm covers enjoying our incredible view. We’d sneak out every once in a while, to walk our neighborhood, which is always fun. We always get the opportunity to chat with some wonderful neighbors.

This afternoon John and I got to chat with Anita and boy oh boy, was our conversation awesome. She was telling John and I that she had this feeling about something we had talked with her about a couple nights previously. Right before we spoke with her, I had told John that I needed to once again let go and let God.

The last couple of days have presented us with some rather interesting obstacles. So much so that my brain has been spinning round and round trying to figure out which direction to take and which direction would be the best for not only me, but for John. I don’t want to mess up and pick the wrong direction.

You see, I’m trying too hard to figure things out rather than letting go and letting God. Life always goes better when you gave give it to Him to carry.

Right after John and I talked and agreed that the best decision we can make is to leave it in His hands to guide us. It was literally within a half hour of us saying this to each other that we ran into Anita. She said to us, “I need to tell you something. It came to me in the middle of the night that I suggested the wrong thing to you guys the other night. I think you should do the other option.” It was crazy how God used her to give us the message we needed to hear.

As you all know, I am always telling God that I need a knock over the head in order to see His signs for me. I mean, those signs need to be black and white, no gray, otherwise due to my major imperfections, I second guess everything. He gifted me that request today with a message He needed me to hear. He had my friend and neighbor give me the direction He was laid out for me. A true blessing for sure.

I am beyond grateful for so many things in my life. Despite the crazy roller coaster my mind seems to constantly be striving for, I am blessed. Just the other night John and I were finally able to meet up with our friend Anita who was gracious enough to take us out on her boat. We cruised the entire lake and boy, was it incredible. Being on water calms my mind for sure. I can’t wait for another trip around the lake. The high from being on the water for just a couple of hours has poured over into each day that followed. I think I have a more awakened heart for all that is good and abundant in this life, and guess what, those abundances are completely free of charge and a gift from above.

Below are a couple of photos from our cruise around the lake along with some other sunset photos and of course the incredible rainbow I was able to capture today. I hope you enjoy them, but honestly, the photos don’t do any of what I was blessed to experience justice.

What an incredible week even with the hiccups along the way. I suppose it’s true, when life gives lemons, make lemonade, or maybe, jump on a boat and take a cruise around the lake. Take a walk and enjoy a rainbow. Appreciate all you do have rather than focusing on what you don’t. Maybe just slow down and smell the roses. I’ve done a little of each of these this past week and let me say, no matter what happens, life seems like it’s gonna be okay.

I’m excited for tomorrow. I get to do some tree decorating with some of my favorite people. Girl tribe and tree trimming. Gosh, what better way to wrap up a weekend.

Well guys, I need to get some airfares booked, so I’ll be saying goodnight for now. I hope you all sleep well and until next time, don’t forget, Love Life++ Hugs
