Goodness Is Overwhelming

About two minutes after I published my last blog post, we got good news about the apartment. I actually looked up at the sky and winked at God. He knows me and my weaknesses (ahem, patience) too well. I felt like He was teasing me like only a father knows how.

I left for an appointment and before I was back home we had our dream apartment and I'd been offered a contract position as a props designer for my first show in Maine. I immediately burst into tears. What a happy email inbox, all in one hit of the refresh button.

I don't have anything eloquent to say here. I'm still so overwhelmed with joy and goodness and God's faithfulness. I felt like He was laughing down at me, "See?? I have you."

It's easy for me to get overwhelmed. It sneaks up on me; one second I'm juggling well and the next second I'm falling apart. I've learned that it's also possible for me to be overwhelmed by the good in my life. So now I make time for it. Time to sit, time to blog, time to be grateful and thankful and any other words the thesaurus might have for times like these.

So if you're overwhelmed today, I hope it's by the good.
