(trying to hit ‘Post’ before my self-imposed 9:30pm curfew for screentime)

I’ve tried to be intentional about my time, space, and need for quiet this Lent. It’s been a good few weeks, lots of time for thinking (and repenting and praying), lots of church services to attend, and sometimes days like today: rising with the sun, checking everything off the To Do list, and then resting to enjoy the fruits of good labor.

I need more days like this, after Lent. Cutting back has made me see how much I don’t want to be running around everywhere, or seeing everything, or staying busy. I still fill my life with a lot of nonessential stuff, while what my soul really needs is more quiet and space.

What my soul really needs is more days like today.

I even organized my bathroom. I find this very relaxing.

(My mom would be so proud.)

And after all that, I made food and watched an 80′s movie. It was a good day.

Happy Saturday <3
