"We are glad we are here."

Peter said it.  He didn't necessarily mean that he was glad to be on the Mountain with the Lord, although I'm sure he was.  It is said that he was glad to be where he is in his life.  Are we?

It sometimes depends on what is going in my life on whether or not I'm glad to be here.  Today was a long day at work, went to work early, left late, volleyball practice after work, I've spent about 15 minutes of "quality" time with my husband and that basically means we've been in the same room.  Today I wished I worked back at LSU, other days, I enjoy where I am.  Again, it just depends.  At this moment, I'm glad to be here.  Glad to be home with my dog and my husband (not necessarily in that order).  Anxious to take a hot bath and relax, have a conversation with God, which I know it sounds strange but I often do.  It's one of the few moments I have alone and quiet.

Spiritually, I like where I am.  I'm glad to be here and I'm even more excited as to where I'm going.  My faith journey continues everyday, if I were only stronger willed in certain areas of my life.  I know it comes with work.  I do know that I'm most trusting in God's plan than I ever have been.  I've watched wonderful things I've prayed for happen, and I know it's because of God's love for us.

I continually pray that Collin finds a job.  I prayed so much for Kasie and Jessica to conceive, as well as Beth, Jen and the other girlfriends of mine who are either thinking about it, trying, already pregnant or otherwise.  I pray for those who are homeless and unemployed.  I just can't tell you enough how much I pray for God's will to be done in my life.  I pray that Ashley, Nicole, Heather, Jill, Erica and my other non-married friends to meet their "Carey."  I love my husband so much, I wish the same kind of love for them...all truly wonderful girls!  I know it'll happen.  God does too.

So my question for you is:  "Are you glad to be here?"
