my abode.

He is teaching me.

Unfortunately, I am a slow learner. But I have been recently more thankful than usual for my little apartment here in this part of the state. 

I moved here because it was close to school, 
but my heavenly Dad has taught me so much just from living alone, and I was even more to depend on Him for the things He wants me to learn.

From just being still in the quietness, hearing the children’s laughter from downstairs, letting Him fill this little place with peace, I am so thankful. Just practically. For hot water and an awesome shower, for a really comfortable bed, for a couch and I can snuggle up on and drink tea and do homework, and a heater I can put my feet in front of. 

I’m learning.
When to just be quiet and repent often. When to scrub the toilet and wash the sink and take out the trash. How much to spend on groceries, and how to spend myself in this life. 

My heart wanders to dangerous places sometimes,
And though I know the truth, my thoughts don’t always line up with it.

But

I am learning.
