Little Joys

As I was winding down tonight, and reflecting on my day, I realized how blessed I am. I say this from time to time, and today wasn't super special or anything, but it reminded me to be grateful.

My day had a slow start (life of the unemployed, sigh) and then I got ready for the day and headed out to Fullerton. I had some time to kill before meeting with my mentor, Sarah, so I went to a little park and laid on the grass reading and writing. It was so lovely outside, and my green iced tea from Starbucks most definitely complimented the weather. I really find so much joy in the little things. I am pretty easily amused and entertained, it really doesn't take much to make me smile. 
And today was just that for me.

I had a wonderful time meeting with Sarah, and then made the drive to Huntington Beach to meet with my small group. My small group usually meets every Monday, but we haven't been able to meet for the last month, so there was much to catch up on! I love these girls, immensely. They have been such a crucial support system for me in the last few months, and meeting with them brings me so much joy.

So, that was my Wednesday. Nothing too crazy, but it was simply lovely and I smiled a lot today. It's the little joys in life that make each day worth it. It's how I see God in my day to day. 
He doesn't only show up in the large creations around us, but He shows up in the simple things all around us. 

I love searching for the little joys in life.

    1. Ahhh! I did not know that! That is so awesome, I will definitely look into that. Where are you seeing him?

    2. We are seeing him in San Diego at the Casbah, which is our favorite venue because it is little and we can be close to the stage. Plus, last time I gave him a hug after! He came to SD 3 times last year so the last show was pretty empty, but still super fun! If you want to come, it will be fun! He is probably coming up by you too, though.

  3. Hi Brenda!
    I love this post! Sounds like a great way to spend a Wednesday, having a support system is definitely important. I love how you say "He doesn't only show up in the large creations around us, but He shows up in the simple things all around us"; this is so true. Sometimes God will just show up and put his hand in the smallest of things, and he blesses even small parts of our lives :)
    P.S. Love the new header!! You look gorgeous!
