Daily 5 - Day 56

Today's Daily 5:

1. A smooth trip to the grocery store
2. relaxing in bed with my supper
3. candles lit around my bedroom
4. making the decision to watch a movie (Legally Blonde) that would make me smile and let me rest
5. a teary, but somehow helpful conversation mid really hard moment, with my mom this morning.
   

Are you sitting up straight?

I read this article this morning, and felt the sudden urge to work on my posture. Apparently it's important, and linked to self-confidence.

I'll admit to chronically slouching. Mostly because I'm quite short, and furniture never fits me. If I sit straight up on most chairs or couches, with my back against their back, my feet likely don't touch the ground. So I slouch or sit cross-legged to compensate for size and comfort.

Though I think now I'll probably make the effort to sit up a bit straighter!

Light Of Your Face

There is a line in this song that has been grabbing at my heart for close to two months now. I thought about it again as I fell asleep last night, and as I drove to work this morning.

"Let the light of your face shine down on my heart, and let me FEEL it."

This morning, right now, as I walk again through some challenging spaces, "Let me feel it."

Because I believe that Jesus holds me, and that he loves me. I really do believe all those things. And I've been learning to trust those things too.

But today, when I'm feeling cold and weary, the cry of my heart is for that light to penetrate to a place where I can feel it bringing warmth and restoration deeply.
