Inspired Beyond Belief

Hello all,
It has been almost 2 months since I blogged. This "summer vacation" has not been a vacation at all. Thankfully I am going to the beach at 7 am tomorrow morning. Horray for a real vacation. Tonight, though, my restless heart and mind are beyond inspired and I would like to share with you the reasoning for feeling this way.

I just finished watching the most amazing documentary, "Happy" on Netflix. It travels around the world to talk to people about what makes them happy. It also dives deep into the science of one feeling happy. This interests me beyond belief. The best part of this documentary, though, would have to be the fact that the happiest people had so little material belongings. Hypocritically so, I have way too many material things. My parents have created a very stable life for us. When I become a teacher, though, with probably a musician for a husband, money most likely won't come easy to me. This brings me to my next point...

My job is so absolutely incredible. I honestly do not care how much money I make. As long as I have the basic necessities and a lot of love, I will be fine. I cannot get over how deeply in love I have fallen with all of my children. Frankly, I don't know how I'm going to get through this week without seeing them and I will soon have to go many months. Children are angels; there is no doubt about it. Anyone who thinks differently in my mind honestly is ignorant and stupid. When I can make a baby smile, a two year old laugh, or a 3-5 year old say they love me; my life is perfect. Whatever God has in store for my future, if I am surrounded by his newest angels, I will be happy. Lord only knows how I'm going to handle having my own kids some day... I have no idea how I will ever let them out of my sight.

This summer has been so life-changing. From my job, to realizing how many amazing friends I made in college, to watching my boyfriend's music career begin to flourish; I have been blessed beyond reason. I never finished the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan but I plan to at the beach this week. I cannot wait to dive into Your word and dwell on Your amazing glory while being at one of my favorite places on Earth with my family, soulmate, and soulmate family. I honestly cannot thank You enough Lord. I have no idea why You continuously bless me so, but I promise that I will live my life always to Your glory.
