I sincerely love that some days do not come with any special event but they come with some sweetness that makes you pause and say, “Thank you, Lord. I love you.” This day happened to be one of those days for me. It was quiet and ordinary as usual, yet it brought little refreshment to my way.
I spent most of my morning indoors just the way I love it, with no disturbances whatsoever. I am not the outgoing type and with my Bible, my notes and some silence, I’m completely at peace. There’s this special beauty about flipping through scripture and seeing the promises of God written plainly in front of me.
I got some sticky notes a while ago, on which I wrote down some verses, and pasted them on my wall to always remind me of God’s goodness at any moment. With this, I do not forget to appreciate His faithfulness over me. I reread these verses as if I were just coming across them for the first time and it has always been that way for me.
Meditation for me isn’t just sitting quietly, folding my hands and legs as I go deep into my thoughts, but here, it rings another meaning - soaking in God’s word until it becomes life to my spirit as I reflect and let it settle into my heart until it becomes my reality for the day.
I love how a verse can suddenly make more sense on a random day than it did the previous week. That’s the beauty of meditation and also walking with God because He knows how to speak at the right time - when you need it most.
On this day, my stomach also began to protest all the spiritual food I was eating without giving it anything physical. So, I got a Maltina drink to keep me company. Honestly, I didn’t plan to take pictures, but the lighting was good, as there was electricity, and the bottle looked fine, and I felt like playing a little.
What’s life without some playfulness sometimes? For me, these moments are the most random moments that end up becoming the highlight of the day.
As I sat there sipping the chilled drink, the whole scene felt simple. I didn’t rush. Why should I? Deadlines weren't waiting for me, no noise, just me, my sister, God’s word and a cold Maltina. Such a day like this makes me remember and remind myself that life doesn’t always have to be dramatic for it to be beautiful.
This is me sharing one of those days where nothing extraordinary happened, but I just felt, since my heart is full, let me share it here. Sometimes peace is the real blessing. My heart goes out to my country and the cruelty of humanity over the lost souls. May God comfort the deceased families, help save our country and fight for injustice, especially with the issue of Christians being killed everywhere.
