Today was a gorgeous day in Austin…well, except for the cold and wind, but the sun was out to warm our spirits.
If I were an outsider reviewing my whereabouts for the day it would seem pretty leisurely, no real frills, spills or drama. But my purpose is to review the day and how I either showed up for Him or He showed up for me…or both…and there is no doubt that today I was given the test of simply being ‘true’.
What do I mean by that? Just remembering who I am, when I shop, in honest conversation, or as I encountered strangers along the way. In one of our conversations today I was asked why I keep saying ‘before I changed’…and she was referring to my comments about how I see my life in two distinct chapters. That question made me recognize how much of what we think about ourselves is more on the inside than maybe what we reveal on the outside. And it made me realize that if I want to be a certain person on the outside that I need to work more at balancing it out on the inside.
And it was neat, neat to run into people that I haven’t seen in awhile and I had no idea lived in Austin. It’s just a reminder how ‘small’ the world really is.
It was a good day. Relaxing, fun, and I realized that sometimes when we do get to slow down we hear just a little bit more of what He is trying to say.
