No, not that.
It was an unplanned DAY.
Yesterday Texas finally got some really good rain. We were blessed with over 3 inches in Bulverde. This is a BIG deal these days. Texas is in the worst drought in history. So, every drop counts...seriously.
When Josh and I woke up to the sound of thundering growls and lightning flashes early Sunday morning we both were delighted to hear the sounds that we had been praying for for so many, many months. We discovered many hours later, once our bedroom began to be filled with a dim light from outside, that the rain, thunder and lightning was actually pretty powerful and we were without power and had been for quite sometime.
There was no reason to move! Awesome.
Since we knew we were unable to make coffee and that most of the city was out of power too (thank you, iPhone), the only obvious choice for the morning agenda...sleep. Good, genuine, quiet, unplanned sleep!
Oh did it feel good! So, so good.
When the light finally became too bright, we finally decided that books could join us in bed. We spent a majority of the day reading, resting, praying, talking, working on our bible studies, listening to music (on my already charged iPad), and appreciating a day without a plan.
When the power finally returned, after noon, we decided there was no real need to speed up and try to capture the "lost" morning. Instead, we left the lights off, brought the coffee back to bed with us, and watched completely random and pointless movies. Perfect.
Everyone loved the day...labs, lacys, and pugs included.
It was truly lovely. So, so lovely.
Thank you, Lord!
XOXO
