New

New seems to be my word lately.

New apartment.
New roommates.
New job.
New boyfriend.
New school year.
New clothes.
New bed.
New wall color.
New.
New.
New.
New.

I like new... in small shifts. Everything in my life is awesome and I feel like every new thing is a blessing and yet, I'm exhausted.

As in, can't-keep-my-eyes-open-at-9-pm tired. As in let-the-kids-watch-tv-for-an-hour-so-I-could-rest worn out. As in too-tired-to-unpack-so-I'll-just-live-amid-a-pile-of-boxes-and-wear-the-three-outfits-I-can-find-that-are-half-clean-in-the-hamper exhaustion.

I know its a phase. I know that God is pouring out his blessing over me right now, but at this particular moment as I gear up for the first real day at the new job and first real meeting at loyola and trying a new recipe in my new kitchen with my new appliances while my super-awesome new boyfriend scrounges mold off my ceiling, I just wish God would bless me a little slower.

To him who has awesome and wonderful things prepared for my life, to him who is above all gracious and giving, may all glory and honor and power be to him — and may he give us endurance and strength to run the race he has set before us. Amen.
