Sometimes I don't like

 Sometimes I don't like living in a shoe box

Then God has me spend a few hours in a house bigger than ours, yet it feels smaller

and I remember I am blessed

or He has me spend a couple of weeks in a house *4 times* as big as ours

and I experience the difficulty of family members spread far and wide

and realise the potential vacuuming time ahead of us will be more than an hour, creeping to 2

(at home it's 5min for a quick vacuum, 10-15 for a reasonably detailed one)

and I am reminded, I am blessed

I remember I love our shoe box and I love the reasons we're choosing to live there

and I choose again to trust God to show me the way through the things I struggle with, because of the shoe box
