Quote...
So I just found this quote and thought I would share it with you all.
For it is the soul’s joy to become effective in the body.
She strives forever to perfect the work of the body that was created by God
—Hildegard of Bingen, De Operatione Dei IV, 19
So true hey.
What makes your soul joyful? What makes your body feel effective?
I love being outside in my garden, being at the farmers market and riding my bike (preferably downhill to be honest). I love talking about life and loves and God and lessons learned with friends. I love taking pictures. I love being here with my neighbourhood. I love when kids hug me, and I love going for walks. I love when a song brings a well of emotions and praise and I am overwhelmed with love. I love talking about days events before bed. I love learning about the world and cultures. I love dreaming about what could be. I love the library. I love my mom. I love driving in silence and I love singing at the top my lungs while I drive.
These are just a few things that I am learning that I love. These are my soul's joys. It is here that I feel effective. It is here that I feel God and his goodness. And I guess if this quote rings true. My soul will continue to perfect these things... (Now as I re-read this quote I guess it could be thought of in a few different ways but this is what I'm going with tonight)

The quote is a great one...I think I am at the opposite place of it, where I feel that what I do with my body brings no life to my soul. Not everything - but there is a missing piece, oh the journey of discovering what brings life! Quiet time on my balcony with a cup of coffee and time with Jesus - that is life giving.
Thanks Dana for the comment...no, I didn't take the photos. Ken took the monk one. Not sure who took the rest.
I appreciate your blog, and am beyond pumped for life at Appleby Drive. Your snapshot of a day was amazing, exciting, and encouraging.
