STILL CHILLING, STILL BLESSED by Cindi Curtis

Greetings from day three of the Memphis Metro snow event! I’m doing fine, actually relishing the simplicity of all this.

Do you remember when Michael and I went shopping and bought this maroon fuzzy robe? At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But looking back, I think that’s a little slice of what life together will feel like. Simple moments shared.

Well, here’s an update on how things are going:

Food—yes.Clothes—yes (thanks Mom!).Electricity—yes.Internet—yes.Computers, iPad, iPhone—yes.Snow plows—ZERO.

I’m in a warm house with nothing but food, a skillet, an air mattress, clothes, and linens. And a Keurig!

That’s it. And you know what? The simplicity has been a wonderful reset. No rushing. No overthinking. Just what’s right in front of me.

Sunday, I had a brief panic moment. I was on FaceTime with Michael. Nothing dramatic was happening. But that old thought started creeping in: You are running out of time. You need to be doing something different. You are behind.

That’s one of my ongoing anxiety themes. The funny part? I KNEW I wasn’t behind—and there wasn’t anything to be behind on! I’m caught up at work. Life is moving the way it’s supposed to. But rational thinking doesn’t get a vote when panic shows up.

It lasted a few minutes, then passed.

Another day, another episode. Next… LOL.

Moments like this have me thinking about provision in the smallest ways. Not dramatic miracles. Just quiet, daily enough.

Jesus said, “Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.” Matthew 6:34 (WEB).

I’ve heard that verse my whole life, but today it feels literal. Today has food. Today has heat. Today has work I can do. Today has a mug of coffee and a fuzzy robe. That’s enough for today.

Maybe faith isn’t about feeling brave. Maybe it’s just staying where you are long enough to see that God already met you there.

And right now? He did.

Be your best you!

Thank-You Message to Paying Supporters:

It is my belief that most of you who help with the costs are doing so because you want to support the production process and show your encouragement. I am honored and greatly moved.

I know that I share a LOT of content FREE TO ALL. I'd imagine that you understand why. The stories about giving back and helping seem like they shouldn't be exclusive. Certain plot moments need to be understood by anyone trying to to follow the stories.

With that in mind, I always consider you, the paid members, when deciding how to share content.

My hope is that reserving a few pictures and small sections of the post for you is a modest indication of gratitude!

Thank you very much for your help underwriting the cost of producing AGI Stories content. You can be sure that your paid membership is valued greatly! At the time of this post, not counting hardware, AGI Stories racks up expenses of just over $100 per month.

Again, thank you very, very much.
