Traveling Light

so very thankful for a saturday at home with nowhere to go, no place to be. 

cleaned most of our apartment. visited some with my brother-in-law micah. baked chocolate-chip cookies for Justin using a yummy new recipe. wore the ruffled apron i recently won from a super creative blog. took photos of our flowers in bloom. encouraged justin in his paper-writing. sipped an iced mocha made with my french press. read a chapter in the book “respectable sins” that my women’s small group is currently discussing together. reflected on our gracious Savior. enjoyed the sunshine.   

In January we moved. We’re really enjoying our new place & being closer to siblings. Having a dishwasher has definitely been a highlight too :)

When we were packing though, I realized that I was having mixed feelings. I was sad to leave the first apartment that we lived in after Justin and I were married. It was sad to imagine not having the same view of the hillside out the window, the familiar sounds of children playing in the park below, or even the quirky things that we had come to love about our little home.

It was a good reminder that Christ is my home. I love Ephesians 3 where it talks about, “Christ who is your life.” Although things around me change, often quickly, He stays the same.

I’ve always liked red front doors :) Yay for dishwashers.
