Do people get hit with waves of heaviness when they wake up? Is this normal? I find that my mornings usually start off this way, more and more frequently these past few months. I find myself subconsciously uttering prayers to the Lord, for his presence and help. Once I go downstairs, make some coffee, and settle into my time with the Lord, my emotions usually become more even-keeled. I'm able to move past the heaviness and ground myself on scripture. Even though this season isn't necessarily the most exciting, I am reminded to be steadfast in the small things and to anticipate good things from the Lord not only in the future but the present as well. Naturally, this is a good segue to today's thankful list. I'm thankful for:
-Claire, Nastassja, and Grace matching into residency programs
-Rakiya's new house
-Opportunities to vaccinate various underserved communities with Heartland Alliance
-Sacred spaces where I can lament and grieve with my church family
-Kingdom Lyricists and the opportunity to share some of my poems and get encouraging feedback
-My mom got vaccinated with her first dose of the Moderna vaccine this past week (!!)
