Coziness in my home on this gray rainy day

I'm a sucker for good food. You know what I'm talking about...

I really try hard to serve healthy meals to my family and eat healthy as well (animal based whole foods kind of eating) and then once in a while  (sometimes more than I'd like to admit) I fall off the cliff and sucker into those foods I know I shouldn't be eating but do anyways because they are so, so stinkin good.. you know what I'm talking about... especially those homemade oreo shakes.

Then there is a whole different type of food. 

Comfort foods.. Like those homemade pierogi's

or this... homemade tomato soup, with grilled cheese from our fresh baked bread.

On this gray rainy day, it was exactly what this momma needed for lunch.

It's been one of those days...

One of those days that I am very, very thankful to be a daughter of a king. Who loves me unconditionally and loves me for who I am.

The kind of day that I woke up, so excited for this rainy gray day and the coziness my home provides and had a dream of how my day was going to pan out but that didn't happen at all.

One of those days that I am very thankful for to have an adopted mom who has stepped in to fill that empty spot that is always missing in my heart.  She truly loves me and is that mom that when I call her she shows up to my house within minutes because she knew I needed a hug.

Yes, that mom that let me cry on her shoulder and prayed with me and helped me see that Jesus is my comfort, the only thing that I truly need. And one more thing about this mom... she is a mom to lots of kids and grandkids, Seriously... who does that. A woman of God's heart, that's who. 

My relationship with my biological parents is scarce but God gave me this wonderful amazing lady because he loves me that much.

One of those days that I am so thankful to have true loving caring friends that also have a heart for the Lord. Thankful for their love and kindness and the way we can talk to each other and the tears come and go but in-between there are lots of laughs. That friend that just knows exactly what to say and sometimes doesn't say anything just listens with a really big heart. THANK YOU.

One of those days that Jesus gave me...and you know why I maybe had such a 'hard morning' maybe it was because I needed to make my soul quite. He has everything planned out. It's raining so we're staying inside. Kids are playing great. I turned off all the noise and just spoke to him. He knew exactly what he had planned. I really look into my heart and he is there. He shows me continual reasons of his love for me. 

My mom I told you about... she looked into my eyes and told me she was coming back later to pick up my assignment. (ASSIGNMENT: I didn't finish college because I HATE SCHOOL). 

So I really didn't want to listen to her. But she didn't give up. She made sure I heard her and she wasn't joking around.

So it now has become one of those days that I am doing an assignment and gave up what  my plan was. I now know that this day, was 100% from the Lord.

My sort of busy day today, cleaning up and getting things done around the house turned into spending time by myself in quietness and really looking into my heart and talking to Jesus and finishing, my assignment.

What a blessing to have ... One of those days.

 

Oh... and for you who are wondering what my assignment was, I'll tell you but I challenge you to do this as well:

On paper write a list of these things...
-Why you are a beautiful daughter of the King.

-The gifts the Lord has given you.

-Your ambitions.

-What you love.

When you are done, I guarantee there will be an overwhelming amount of peace and joy in your heart.

Oh and be thankful, thankful for these gray rainy days where you can find coziness in your home.
