So I'm in this crazy time of life where:
1.I don't have a job
2.I'm learning how to be a wife
3.I'm missing my life in England
4.I'm searching for what God has for me
So, i'm trying to stay motivated! Trying to relish in this beautiful time I have where I can really concentrate (I never spell that word right and had to try spell check 3 times to get there...) Any who, concentrate (maybe if i type/write it enough it will stick in my head!) on being a good wife and starting our home.
Some of the things I'm trying to enjoy and feel fulfilled and like I'm contributing to our marriage (there's more ways than just money!)
1.Ironing; i know most people struggle with this especially since most dryers have "wrinkle release"but I've trying to enjoy the fact that if something comes out of the dryer wrinkled, I have the time to iron it right then and there (I'm currently waiting for my last load to finish so i can iron and put the iron and board away!
2. Home cooked meals: I have time to do them, I even have time to make a plan for each weeks meals and in exchange not waste too much (still learning to cook for 2!) and keep our grocery bill down to a minimum!
3. Walks: I love walks, I love that I even get to stroll with all the local retirees (cause I'm blessed to live in a super nice area! Thanks God and my hubby!) who knows, maybe I'll make friends and in turn do their grocery shopping!
(brb, need to get the laundry!)
4. Stuff sorting: after about 7 years of coming and going from my parents house (4 of which was a different country!) I've accumulated a lot of stuff! So the past 9 months i've been getting rid of loads but the boxes keep magically appearing as my mum cleans out her old stuff ( I tell you, they're likes rabbits or something! Continually producing more!) so i feel like I've almost made it and almost have no more stuff to go through...
5. Devotion: I've never been very good at consistently spending time with God but this time in my life is allowing me to explore a bit with that.
6. Availability: So available :) (not in the "single type" of course, I'm taken with my husband and couldn't imagine a more perfect man for me!) I can open my home for lunches or parties or having people over to hang or endless other possibilities!
6 is a weird number to stop a list but I don't want to over do it or try to make something up so I'm gonna stick with that number :)
As I was thinking about this post, I remembered a verse that will probably be a good reminder for me right now : Philippians 4:11 "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances"
Thank you God for this time!
