God Wink

Have you ever felt like God has winked at you? Like He is saying..."hey it's all going to be okay, I've got it all under control!". The past two nights my sweet husband has been home and taken Bo for me so I could go on a walk all by myself!!! I never get alone time, especially with Jarrod traveling so much lately. So night before last I handed Bo off to Jarrod for dinner and bathtime, I grabbed my ipod, turned up my music, and took off. I really think I could have walked for miles and miles and miles...I needed to get out in the fresh air, clear my head, and burn off some stress.


We have so much going on right now between Jarrod's new job, all of his travel, selling our house, keeping it spotless for showings, taking care of Bo 24/7, figuring out where we are going to live in Atlanta (temporary and permanently), planning the actual move over, etc...my mind has been in serious overload. I needed to get out and just let my thoughts go. I'm trying to remember that this is all temporary, it's all going to come together, that God has a great plan for us, and this will all come to an end. However, if you know me, you know I have the patience of a gnat! So I'm out there walking trying really not to think about anything other than my music and being outdoors and all the sudden I look down on the sidewalk and see this...







Is this not the coolest leaf you've ever seen??? We hardly have any trees where we live so there are never leaves on the sidewalk, this one was the only one around for a long stretch. Call me crazy, but I truly felt like God was giving me a wink saying...hey kiddo, it's all going to be okay! So I picked it up carried it the rest of my walk and it's now on my dresser in my bedroom kind of my little reminder that He's got it all under control!
