I am a Gilmore Girls junki. The last season is awful, but I still own it. (he he he) (by the way, the "he, he, he" is an ode to my best friend, R. She got me started on the Gilmore Girls, and though I think she is tired to death of them now, I still think of her when I watch the shows. Love you R!)
But the last episode of the first season of the Gilmore Girls... aw, sigh. It just makes me smile. It reminds me of how happy life is. 1000 yellow daisies. Do you know what I'm talking about? And Rory and Dean love each other... The town troubadour "Everyone needs a little sunshine." sigh.
It inspires me. I'm going to write my husband a letter telling him how much I love him and how glad I am that we both want to be parents. I'm just so happy.
I'm getting shocked less and less, by the way. It's been over two weeks of this wonderful withdrawal symptom, but I see the end. It won't be long now! And, on an equally wonderful note, I didn't wake up scared last night! So many people were praying for me (thank you, thank you, thank you!!) and I felt God's peace. What a gift. It's not required that he give it you know. I know I can learn a lot from the tough times, and I know God allows people to go through them for their and others betterment (meaning so they get closer to Him). Every time God gives me peace, I feel the same way I felt the day my dad took me out of school to take me to lunch down town. You know, I know my dad loves me, but when he took me out of school to take me to lunch, I felt like a princess. It's hard to explain. I knew that wasn't going to be an every day thing, it couldn't be, I was determined to get strait A's (which I didn't always, but I tried my best). It just gave me something to hold on to, that I could always look back on as evidence of my dad's love even when he drove me nuts. Anyway, that's how I feel today.
I making bread today. I asked my husband for suggestions, he wants his mom's bread. :-) I'll have to call her for some recipes. She is an amazing cook.
Smile today, okay!

Never seen the show actually... But yum, bread! :) Happy baking!
ReplyDeleteHey Els! I know we don't talk much but I do check in on you two occasionally. Just wanted to let you know that I too struggle with anxiety (and incredible insecurity) and its refreshing to hear someone else's (Christ-centered) thoughts on the subject. It's great that you're writing and incredibly brave. I also love the Gilmore Girls. And I wish I knew how to make sourdough bread. :)
