Wednesday!

Wow, the week is half over!  I went to my first live bible study last night!  We're studying James through Beth Moore and it was awesome!!  You can feel the sense of community by just walking through the doors, wow!  I knew one lady there and the rest are all now new friends-this is just what I needed this year! 

Announcement-I got to workout today!!  I did two miles on my treadmill this am!!!  I am thrilled!  I need to take care of the body God has lent to me

Big news, Nolan has his first loose tooth!!!  He's been waiting for months to finally get one loose, each time I tell him his friends have lost one he keeps wondering when he's next, well its nearly time!!  I think he thinks its going to fall out tonight, silly boy!  Wow, Six years ago I still still hugely pregnant with him and look at him now!  I am so excited for my big boy!

Lord, thank you for all of the amazing blessings in my life.  Thank you for the amazing sense of community that I have found online, at church and in my bible study.  I am surrounded by people who will guide me as I grow into a more godly wife and mother.  Thank you for our nanny Delia, her presence is such an amazing gift to our family-she gives me time and space to be a better mom and wife, she is perfect for our family!  Please guide me as I learn to love my body and feed it good foods and get exercise and rest.  Help me make healthy food choices, Lord.  I've struggled with fighting this body for over two decades, its time to learn to love the body you've given me.

Lord, please help my husband be a godly man, to choose friends who love God and who inspire him to be a model Christian.  Help him realize that he does not need popularity or adornments to be loved, that he is perfect just as he is.  Help me not be jealous of his time away from us.  I have you to comfort me, Lord when he is not here.  Help me get caught up with my Master's course work and not leave it to the last minute when I am forced to struggle and stress.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
