Hey, Sweet Thangs!
This has been a fun week for me because I just love Valentine's Day, and teaching Preschool is a great place for people who love the holidays because every single day you get to do something fun and cute! We're working on our goodie bags today.
Anywho, I just wanted to share a couple of things on this drizzly Wednesday morning.
Let me just say that when we tell God, with an honest heart, "I want to give you my whole life--do what you will with it..."
Well let's just say that He will certainly take you up on that.
Like, whoa.
God has really convicted me in a few specific areas of my life.
Here they are:
Health, Home, and Honesty (obviously the "h" is not silent here, for the sake of continuity.)
Health: I've had a few "ok for real, girl, let's get it together" moments with myself lately, health-wise. So, because God loves me, He's helping me get it together. My sister, husband, brother-in-law and I all joined a gym this week, and I'm thinking that with THAT much accountability, I can get my happy tail to the gym at least a few times a week. (Although the thought of us all four in a row jogging is enough to get me chuckling to myself.) Also, Weight Watchers. My thinking is, I've signed up for it and it's too expensive for me to not use it.
Home: I've been reading "Making Your Home a Haven" by Cyndy Salzmann. I've really enjoyed it and it makes a lot of sense to me, so I've been motivated to do a better job of keeping my home clean and organized. I'm not one to over-spriritualize things, but I really feel that this is something that God has called me to do as a wife and someday, mother.
Honesty (with a non-silent "h"): Pretty self-explanatory. This mostly pertains to my marriage, but it easily slips over into other relationships in my life. I recently heard a message on intimacy with God, and was lovingly reminded that you cannot fully experience intimacy with God if you are not fully experiencing intimacy with your spouse--not just physically, but emotionally. Boom, baby. I want both of those things. So I added "honesty" to my list.
Ok, so I know that it's a few months late for New Year's Resolutions, but in my opinion, EVERY DAY IS NEW YEAR'S DAY WITH GOD!
....ha.
Hope you guys have a super day. I love you.
It's been a crazy week, but God is ever, ever, always and forever, faithful.
Time to go teach my babies about stuff.
