Meg This is Life

Good Morning World

Good Morning, World.

Apparently there was a huge storm last night, and I slept through the whole thing. I woke up to people’s facebook status’ talking about hurricanes and such. I guess that 1/2 of an Advil PM really does the trick for me. Imagine if I upgraded to a WHOLE pill?!

Nik is gone this weekend. He left yesterday for Nashville to record some of his music. I hate when he is gone. Especially because I haven’t been feeling very well this week. I am pretty sure that my stomach has not gotten along with TWO different restaurants this week. I’m thinking about boycotting anything that I don’t personally make.  I took a sick day yesterday, but was bored out of my mind after lunch time. So, I got up off the couch and hung a picture, made peach cobbler (that was my dinner), cleaned a little, and finished editing Brian & Nissi’s engagement pictures (ok, I sat back on the couch for that one).

I’m hardly ever home alone, unless Nik is actually out of town. Somehow, he manages to leave after me and come home before me every day (I feel like I’m getting the shorter end of the deal on that one…). Sometimes being alone (and not working) gives your mind a lot of time to rest and think and wonder and dream. Usually, like most people I’m sure, I end up thinking about the future. I’ve been thinking a lot about photography lately. I really love it, but it seems like one of those things where all the stars have to align for it to really happen as a job/career.  Really, it just takes God opening the doors and  me walking through them with confidence and faith.

These are just random thoughts…

I really am blessed to have a good job like I do right now. I know I won’t be at it forever, but it is a good experience (even if my schedule isn’t as free as I would like), and I seem to do well at it. I know that my life will change as Nik and I grow older together, as he keeps developing his music, as we keep pouring into our church, I keep taking pictures, when we start a family, etc. Its a world of possibilities out there. We have a full life - a life that is hopefully preparing us for more. I always tell our youth girls that they are practicing for the future. If they can practice making good decisions now, they will be more likely to make good decisions in the future. I think that’s really true. We continually build on the foundation of our decisions and experiences. As I look to our future, I am confident that we are building a firm foundation right now. The things to come will be a result of how faithful we are to what our hands are doing right now, in the present.

It’s exciting to see how our journey keeps unfolding.
