tuesdays.

Tuedays, I have noticed, come more frequently than any other day of our blessed week.

And I don't like Tuesdays.

Tuesdays are the days your cat gets locked indoors and uses your new skirt which you left lazily on the floor as a porta-potty, you are jolted awake at 1:00 a.m. as a result, school comes slowly, the piano won't cooperate (or maybe it's the fingers?), things go missing, and it starts to pour just as you start your daily run. Not to mention you lose four followers in one hour. I normally don't think about it too much, but..man. That was a little crazy. o.O

..But. Tuesdays are also the days when God decides, "Hey, Lucia could use a little cheering up. I think I'll show her an extra special verse to start the day off," and as soon as I peel my groggy eyes open at the crack of dawn to literally force myself to open my Bible:

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

{John 16:33}

Yeah. Sometimes I could just give the Lord a huge hug. :] I can't wait until the day I literally can.

 

So. Let's rephrase this post, shall we?

 

Tuesdays are just one of the many days I realize how blessed I am to wake up in the morning to a safe home, a square meal, and a cat who purrs apologies for past grievances. Tuesdays are the days I rejoice in what I've accomplished, and when I try my best to play music that is pleasing to God (if no one else). Tuesdays are the days a warm shower feels especially wonderful and cozy after a wet workout,  frenchbread and nutella are on the table waiting for me when I get home, and I rejoice in the fact that I am privileged to have the freedom to share my thoughts with the world--with you. 

 

 

I...can tolerate Tuesdays. :]
