a blueberry life!
Hmmm...this has been a rather pensive week. To end a such a week I got up early this morning with a burdening desire to bake blueberry muffins.
It is quiet in the house, only the sound of my keyboard clicking, and the oven warming is heard. My soul feels calm in this quiet. For once. Perhaps I need more quiet in my life. Then again, too much quiet can lead down other disasterous paths.
Life is hard right now. More is going on than I had thought. It is that sort of melding of good and bad things together that creates this beautiful mess. And I am slowly but surely trying to figure my way down this path. This path laid with dreams, vision, splendor, and wonder, but also firmly cemented in heartache, loneliness, rejection, death, and struggle.
God, I pray for a calm heart as I travel down this path. The one in which I strive to marry my dreams with reality. A harder struggle than I had ever imagined.
