Simplicity

Once again, it has been too long; and, unfortunately this blog probably won't be long enough. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but sign on really quick and inform y'all of how much I enjoy my life right now. About one month ago God seemed to bring my life to a screeching halt. That's right from the hustle and bustle of working in the city and living outside it, to not remembering the last time I was in the city or had makeup on!

A few blogs ago I wrote about how I believed that God was steering me out of corporate America and into... Well, not exactly sure into what God is leading; but, I can tell you that he is preparing me for it. God is showing up in my life as that gentle breeze that Moses felt on the mountain and knew that he was in the presence of God. (Uh, maybe it wasn't Moses; but, you get it.) God has been showing me how simple life can be if I 1) allow it 2) settle down to notice it 3) trust that he alone will provide all my needs.

I am currently working part time for my roomie's family business and I can't say that I have gone with out a thing: every need met, every bill paid, and I have been served the little cherries on top too! God is good. My heart feels free and I am at peace. Now this may stir up many of you; but, part of it has to be that I live in such an awesome city: Alpharetta. I know, it may be suburbia, but it is the finest. I live far enough out to experience the calm of rural life; yet, close enough to the city to get my shopping fix if need be.

I could sit with my friend on her porch for hours while listening to the rustle of trees, watching the birds, and waiting for the sun to go down (oh round about 9:30pm!) That is what I'm talking about. I guess all of this was to say, "Get out...out of the city...at least out of your apartment, or any other building, and take note of the simplicity God offers us."
