Content in His Arms

I took a brief hiatus...yes all of two days....truthfully nothing blog worthy has happened over the past few days..nothing notable or of any important length to write just on blog on. My Sunday and Monday were nice.

Sunday I slept past two alarms ( and for those of yall who DON"T know me) I am the person that can hear my brothers alarm from across the house through his closed door and while he sleeps through it I can't go back to sleep until he ( or osmeone else ) turns it off. So i realized how worn out Saturday had made me since I had mastered sleeping through two of my own alarms right next to me ear. I decided to take Sunday easy. Went over to my grandparents house and hung out wiht my brother for a little bit (housesitting makes me really miss my family.) Then my grandma and I went to Yogurt Mountain (I was in heaven), we had both been craving it all week, so it was nice to go and spend some time with Grammy and talk. :) I love Yogurt Mountain's original tart!! It tastes just like greek yogurt!!! Yummy!!! Then off to orchestra practice I went. We are in full blown music quest mode so we are playing many John Williams pieces, along with some Die Hard, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, and a Cartoon Comedy Medley consisting of such pieces as: Looney Toons, Super Mario Bro., Spongebob, and the Smurfs!!!! I love my orchestra family at Bellevue. They are all so encouraging, it truly is a great time of laughs and fellowships. Followed was Sunday night service with my friends. The sermon was refreshing and just what I needed to start my week off. :)
On the way home I got a call from my boss at Mother's Day Out (I sub for them from time to time) and she asked me if I would work in the baby room Monday from 9-3. YES!!! This used to be my old summer job and I miss it dearly. :)
So Monday morning I got up and went to work with my sweet friend Jennifer, the classes recently promoted up, which for the infant room, means new babies. New babies who have never been away from mom and dad before so it was an interesting day, but I wouldn't have not done it. Getting to see babies laugh, giggle, coo, and just do silly things could brighten anyone's day. I played patty cake with several of the babies and they couldn't get enough. Watchingg them "roll it up" was definitely a sight to see as some of them were intently watching their hands as they did it.
I always love just rocking the babies to sleep or just holding them in general.

Babies are so trusting. So calm and secure in the arms that hold them.(pretty much no matter whose arms.) Whether you are holding them calmly, or walking with them at a slightly speedy pace, or whether you are throwing them up in the air to catch them, they just laugh and giggle completely content and completely secure. It really made me think about my relationship with God. Lately I have learned to just be content in his arms. Whether times are good, rushed, or hectic and whether or not I feel like I am in the up's and down's of life I have just been learning to hold on tight and be content in his arms.  I am His child after all and He has always been faithful to hold on tight, to just wrap His arms around me and walk with me through whatever the day brings. I am learning not to worry as much and just go with the flow, in his arms. A friend of mine, who has done so much discovering herself this summer told me that, yes, Eric being gone would be hard but that I was going to be learning so much this fall. She definitely was right , and if this is only what happens one week in I can't wait to see what the rest of the fall brings or how I will deepen a current understanding I have.

I truly believe God is using thsi fall to prepare Eric and I for our future. :) I am excited to see where God takes us in this future He has planned for us, but for now I am content where I am. I am being held in my Abba Father's arms and I will hold on tight through whatever comes :)
