I'm late with this post, I know. I've been working more than usual and when you aren't used to working 5 days a week, it does a number on you. Cleaning house, grocery shopping, and laundry screeched to a halt for awhile. Until my guys were complaining about needing clean underwear that is. Anyhow, I am back on track and ready to up date you on my progress.
I have done well keeping up with my prayer lists, both requests and thanksgiving. Although I am still not great about going back to record answers to prayers. I finished reading 'Blue Like Playdoh' but wasn't very inspired. I did start back up the last two weeks of my last Bible study, 'For Women Only'. I figured I better finish what I started before I begin something new. My quiet time has still been a struggle, mostly because I've been working more. I get up a hour earlier on the days I work just to get myself and Braden ready so the extra 15 minutes for quiet time didn't quite make it.
Frankly, I still need work in this area. But don't we all? I know my spiritual walk cannot be fixed with one month and an outline of the "good Christian to do's". I need to continue to pray for God to do a work on my heart and increase my desire for Him.
I picked up a devotional on CD that I can listen to daily in my car. I also picked up a new Bible study titled "Duty or Delight: Knowing Where You Stand With God". This one sort of just jumped out at me the other day when I was spending my Lifeway Groupon. (Love groupons!) I think it's right up my alley right now. It's also one I don't think would appeal to a group. It's only six weeks so I plan to do it starting next week and then should be ready for something new by Jan. I have my eye on the Ruth study by Kelly Minter and would like to get a group going.
Anyhow, as with all of us, I cannot fix all my issues or be the perfect Christian in a month. I am pressing onward with my journey. November, or at least what is left, will be Marriage month. It's my 10th anniversary today. It's been a great decade. We have had plenty of ups and more than our share of downs, but we are happy and more in love than ever. However, there is always room for improvement. So stay tuned for my Marriage plan!
