A soft sweet song

So I was up at 4am this morning with the worst heartburn I've had to date in my pregnancy, and do you know how I feel about heartburn, well it's not good we'll just say that. So what does one do when they are up at 4am with no chance of sleeping, obviously she makes cookies.....with M&M's ( it's probably a good thing that I had heart burn or I would have eaten the cookies fr breakfast). Anyways, while I was baking at 4am I came to 2 conclusions, the first being that cookies make your house smell amazing and I wish my house always smelt like fresh baking when I woke up (hence the "when I wake up" part. I don't want to be the one doing the baking that early too frequently). The second conclusion is that despite my disappointment with being awake at 4am it is a beautiful time of the day, the sun is waking up, the sky is such soft calming colors, the birds are singing soft sweet songs and the air just smells so fresh. The first conclusion wasn't enough for me to forget about how much more I would rather be sleeping then bonding with my my kitchen aid, but conclusion #2 took my breath away. I've been feeling a lot of anxiety lately, blame it on the pregnancy, blame it on the weather, blame it on the mere fact that I'm a woman, but blaming it on any of those things has not helped me deal with it one bit, but this morning as I opened the kitchen window and my senses were overloaded with God's creation, there it was, the calming of my soul, the "peace that surpasses all understanding" taking over my body. There it all was, there He was, just outside my kitchen window, Jesus, patiently waiting for me to see WHY all this anxiety has been unnecessary.

Conclusion #2 you were well worth the heart burn at 4am and Conclusion #1, please don't get my husbands hopes up of waking to that smell too often.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
