After a long day of staging (exhilarating and exhausting!) I would love to be in a quiet house with my jammies on, curled up in bed watching a movie and eating popcorn and M&Ms. Mmmmmmm….that would have been nice.
But no. Instead I am baking chocolate chip cookies for a bunch of teenagers who are here for the evening watching movies. Loud. Silly. Fun. But not quiet.
And I am reminded that this is the glorious noise that I have been praying for since we bought this house. We asked God to use our home as a haven for love and laughter and safety. I think that this is what the answer looks like. Beautifully, unquiet.
Sleeping may require ear plugs tonight. And that’s okay. Because my son is entertaining his friends from church tonight and he is experiencing God’s answers to our prayers for new friends and an open home. (And actually, only half of the friends are girls this time! )
And God…..You are good….
