I must CONFESS the BLESS.

God got me through and God got me all the rest… it’s Him I profess.

4 week work professional development sabbatical, days 1-8 were learning and watching, 2 days off for a 4day weekend of a blessed retreat, then days 9 to 18 were 10 days of amazing lab time. I set up a chair in the corner of lab A, later moved to labs C and D, and thought through math math math… and worked and recorded and loved every minute of it!

It was the best of times it was the worst of times… The best was unstructured time, no pressure but planning to be as busy as possible in the lab for the last two weeks of this sabbatical – I wanted to work and I know how to work and I love to dig down and work – and learn learn learn learn. The worst of times was the terrible allergies, but with the grace of God I powered through sneezes with tissues tissues medicine coughing hacking and now –  after the many days of rain – today, I can breathe FINE. Whew…  rested so well too. 

It’s keeping going in the mix, and finding God’s strength FIX.

There’s so much I could obsess about the mess and STRESS… But today 2 weeks later, I MUST CONFESS THE BLESS!!!

I got there because God is helping me number my days and pushing me when I dilly dally.

I worked long hours, because God gave me the strength.

I structured my unstructured time,  because God gave me the platform.

I asked because God gave me this brain. 

I waited because God gave me this heart.

I worked because God gave me this body.

I prayed because God gave me this soul. 

I smiled because God gave me reason, joy, and a vision to enjoy. 

I must CONFESS the BLESS!

Now to enjoy each day as it comes for the rest….

Rest…
