Cooking for one...harder than one would think. Although I am loving this personal-size-just-right-warm chocolate chip cookie...mmmmm.
Lately I have been learning a lot about doing things for just one person. Some things come easier than others like going to bed when I want...eating when I want...doing what I want; however, cooking for one...visiting churches alone...eating alone gets old and often lonely.
I keep reminding myself that this is a good and even great time of life! God has been teaching me to find joys in every season of my life, and this season is no different. I do find joy in living with an awesome roommate, working in a job I love, eating up every moment I have with my Sylvia (niece) and basking in all of the vibrant fall colors. I do have joy and fulfilling joy at that, but those feelings often hibernate.
I have found that finding satisfaction in God everyday takes practice and discipline. I'm far from perfect, and learning this might take a few more personal sized-just-right-warm chocolate chip cookies...
...bring it on.
oh pear. :)
