That's right, lazy day. We slept in late (9 am) and got ready SUPER fast to head on over to the Junnell Center for my friend's graduation. It was great and I finally figured out how to work out camera so that I can take pictures inside without them looking like they are cloud people. [I am referring to our other camera, the one that was not stolen but is too bulky to be carried around with me all the time].
My sister came in town and it has been really great getting to talk to her and just laugh. I love it when we laugh together. :)
I ordered my books for this Summer Session of Graduate school. After this summer I have only one more semester of classes and I will be done! Woot Woot! When I first started my Graduate school it was a distant dream to be finished one day and now it's almost here. I have no idea what I am going to do with this degree but look forward to the possibilities that it could create.
Exercise today: Absolutely nothing, unless you count laundry and picking up the house - that is a stretch I know. So for day one, I get a big fat F. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
Word: I am reading a Kay Arthur book on learning how to pray in 28 days. I have had it for 2 weeks now and I just got through week 1. Yeah, I know . . . Anyway, today I am to look at the names of God and dwell on them and use them. I picked "Jehovah-Shammah" which when translated means "The Lord is Here". I am so very glad He is. This is something that I want to be more aware of; He is here just like you or I are. Like how my husband is here; the Lord is with us. He chooses to be with us. In Jeremiah the author talks about how the Lord is there in righteousness to keep them safe; how could he do this if He was not with us? He is with us! Know this! HE IS WITH US! Therefore, we need to be talking with Him. How awkward is it when you hop into the elevator with people you don't know and there is just this utter silence? I think this is how God must feel when we neglect to talk to him; but it must go beyond the awkwardness but to a feeling of being ignored . . . isn't that what we are doing? He is ever present in our lives and we have to be willing to acknowledge Him in our daily activities.
I believe from this reading I have weaned that He is always there and that He wants to be an ever present part of my life - I need to encourage this is my walk. I need to make Him a part of our finances, a part of my teaching, and a part of my relationships. He wants to be there; He wants to be actively involved in my life. I hope that I can work on allowing Him to do so.
Hope that blesses you as much as it has blessed me. Night everyone!
