my beautiful moment was at midnight. my hubs calls & says that they were just outside of town & his car had blown a belt. He asked me to look up the number for the towing company. I asked him if he remembered the name of the company we used last time & then he remembered that he had their card in his wallet.

so after i hung up my mind is racing: how much is this going to cost? i'm going to have to get my 4 month old out of bed to go get him. who can i call & wake up so i don't have to get my baby out of bed in the middle of the night. i was srsly freaking out.

then the hubs texts me & said the tow driver was right behind them so they didn't have to wait. he'd dropped them at Close's car & they were on their way to work so i didn't have to go get them. It was a fan belt that blew so it shouldn't be too expensive.

Then i remembered that we had gotten a check in the mail that morning for $300 so we prbly wouldn't have to pay anything to get the car fixed.

the beautiful moment was realizing that God had already answered my questions, even though i didn't stop to ask Him in the midst of my worrying.

Another comment from my friend Holly

Taking care of and teaching these sweet kiddos in my class reminds me today on a deeper level, that my precious Savior, Jesus, came into this world as an infant, and had to grow and develop just like these kids. Today I'm just reveling in the beauty of that. ♥

Day 2 of my beautiful journey.

Wow... Day 2 hit me like a ton of bricks... I've decided to commit to not just viewing Derry's posts on this journey but everyone's. Which I realize my become a huge time commitment. But after today I know it is exactly where my time should be spent.

After reading 7 entries on beauty that people found around them I found it difficult to hold back the tears. How many moments of life have I wasted on negativity and pessimism? What have I done with my time? There is so much beauty in this world that our Creator put here for us, and we are squandering it! As Jamie mentioned in his blog this song needs to be my prayer for the next 60 days. God give me your eyes, just for even one second, so I can see. Today I found this project beautiful.
