Sunday

Dear Lord,

Thank you for your goodness and your mercy. You have done so much in transforming my character to be more like you, yet I know I still have a very long way to go. I know that I am selfish. I am aware of it when I request things of my husband, yet fail to serve him like he serves me. I see it when I manipulate him to get what I want and I see it when I am unsatisfied with life. I pray against selfishness. I pray that you would extinguish it from my heart and rewire my mind. Please help me to serve my husband in a loving way, in a selfless way, in a sacrificial way… a way that is more like you! Thank you for changing me! Continue to transform my character in Jesus name AMEN!

This really spoke to me today.  I am really struggling with selfish thoughts esp when it concerns my husband.  I want to be better and more godly, therefore I need to push aside my selfish and jealous thoughts if I want to be closer to God, right?  I know the answer so why can't I just do it, always?

Today we had family photos, I will post some when I get them.  It was cool and windy, but quick and fun, a sucess overall I think!  The kids were super good, and we've got an amazing photographer who knows us and our kids well.  She is amazing!  Jeremy and I got to go out on a date night, we are so lucky to have wonderful friends with teens, lol!  Couldn't find a movie so we restaurant hopped, it was fabulous!  I am so glad we went out, I feel re-connected.
Amen.
