No, I didn't decide to be sad or angry or any other emotion. I just found it extremely difficult to juggle real work, online work, home life, mountain trips, etc and still be conscientious about posting what made me happy for the day. But I did make it to Day 42! That's almost halfway. :)
I am pregnant these days. Pregnant with a lot of dreams. That makes me more than happy. It makes me alive. It makes me radiate from the inside. It gives me so much joy to be standing on the threshold of greatness. There's so many possibilities that I cannot begin to imagine how I ever thought my life was mundane and boring.
I did go through a "my life is mundane and monotonous" phase. This blog is about married life but it reminded me of how, when we make commitments, there are seasons that we just have to get through the everyday-ness of things. And that is not a bad thing. I really like how the she writes...
He hasn't forgotten His promises. He is the God who sees me, who cares for me, and who hears my cries. I believed that I am being ushered into a new season. It's so exciting to be looking across the expanse of the "Jordan River" and realize that He has brought me to this moment. Where I can trust and obey and believe that the impossible can become possible. That there is a "Canaan" for me. A new place to be conquered. :)
I found out from a friend that the co-founder of Jars of Clay's non-profit was only 21 years old when she started the organization. Fresh out of college. This young woman believed in something so much that she was willing to work at it for a really long time.
It is very encouraging to read of people's stories. Stories of faithfulness and mundaneness. Of excitement and possibilities. Of hard work and perseverance. To be committed to something and work at it and have one's character polished. I hope that one day, when I look back at my life, I would be able to say that I did the same.

The world has taught us to just categorize routine, work, responsibility and obligation as boring--when in fact they should be moments that are celebrated as well. These are moments wherein our character is being polished, where we can show kindness, integrity, honesty and yes LOVE.And it's true. I find that it is in remaining faithful, even in the mundaneness of things, that we see what we are made of. This realization is what makes me more than happy. I am grateful. I am grateful that I am in a place where my character is being polished. I am grateful that in this place as well, God shows Himself to be faithful to me and my dreams.
