Is there such a thing as an ordinary day? I used to believe that, but not anymore. Now I get up each morning looking for the adventure that God has planned for me. What I have planned and what God has in store for me may not be the same thing. It's definitely better to go with Him.
Today I planned to get up early and start shopping before going to have lunch with a friend. After that I planned to come home and work on Shelter Missions International books for a while and then go take my mother-in-law to physical therapy. It was a good plan, didn't quite work out though. I'm glad, because it's been even better.
As we were getting ready for bed last night, Connally said he had a lot to accomplish today. Something about the way he said it made me realize he meant things here at home, not at work. I asked if he was taking a day off. He was. Two days. A four day weekend! So, I quickly turned my alarm off. No point getting up that early by myself.
After a more relaxed morning at home, cleaning dishes and making beds, I did go and have lunch with my friend. We talked about a LOT in an hour and had a good time together. She even paid for my lunch! Then, though I hadn't planned it yesterday, another friend, who is a stone mason, came to look at my kitchen. I've been wanting an updated backsplash for a while now. Well, they made all the measurements today and will start installation on Monday. YAY! I have worked on the SMI books and have successfully started a process that had intimated me until now. In just a few minutes I will pick up my mother-in-law and drop her off at her appointment while I run get that shopping done that I had planned for early this morning. Not exactly the day I planned, but so much better.
Anyway, this is just a quick little post to remind you that adventures don't have to be huge and detailed to be grand. They could just be slipped into your daily plans and change life up enough to make it a little more fun than you could make it on your own. What adventures did you have today?
