Decisions and Static Cling

Sometimes decisions can be detrimental. They make me crazy. I get anxious and fidgety. I hate being indecisive. But alas it happens. But not anymore, well at least not for this decision. I made mention in my last blog that I have decided to stay in Austin and with InterVarsity. Since making this decision a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel free, happy, passionate and at peace. Sure there are some parts that feel a twinge bittersweet but the sweetness is outweighing the bitter.

There is something about making a decision that is empowering, emboldening and enlightening. The answer sits before you, you know what you should do and when you reach out for it, grab it and say, This is it - it just feels right.

Making this decision has made me turn to the Lord even more. Every morning I've been waking up mostly with out my alarm. I love this. I love awaking gently and wanting to get up with out being shocked out of sleep by some annoying technological devise that is trying to rule my life. Every morning I've sat up slowly, told Jesus good morning and gone straight into prayer. It's not even conscience, it just happens. I think my heart, mind and soul are just longing for a little more of God and it's been so good.

This little, simple morning routine is changing the way I see my day, the way I do my work, the way I interact with people. I don't want to lose this. I pray I wouldn't lose this.

I pray it would stick with me like my clothes stuck together this morning. Sigh...I transition...

So, do you remember the commercial where the girl had on a cute skirt with a sock stuck on the back. It was a commercial for Bounce. I use bounce. I love dryer sheets and fabric softener. I've never been with out it. My mom has a list of alternative for dryer sheets hanging up in her laundry room at home. But this morning I had no dryer sheets. I should have asked Munirah to borrow her fabric softener. But I thought, it'll be fine. I wish I had remembered the commercial then. I knew something was wrong when I pulled one thing out of the dryer and three other things came with it. I knew something was wrong when I heard gentle crackling in my clothes. Oh the sound of static electricity. If I were an elementary school teacher who was getting ready for a lesson this would have been exciting, but it wasn't and I'm not. I guess I need to put dryer sheets or fabric softener on my grocery list...which by the way is filling up with food items for recipes found on Pintrest...but that's for another entry.
