Good morning! Happy New Year to you all. Micah loves to chew on his spoon and pretend he's eating like his mom and dad. At a restaurant the other day we got a great compliment from an elderly couple. He said you can tell when a child has a loving home by his actions and your child is one happy baby. It was a sweet compliment.
Yesterday at church we had a guest speaker talk to us about renewing our minds instead of focusing on our bodies. Just like we need to eat everyday to stay alive and healthy, we need to feed our mind spiritually everyday with God's word to keep our soul and mind healthy. My resolution this year is to give God more of my time during the day and less on social media and TV. Soon we will be getting into book clubs and reading the New Testament together as a church and I an very excited about this because I definitely need accountability.
I am also starting this year off with a "get healthy body" movement as well. Craig and I are keeping one another accountable and are doing what most people are this time of year... watching what we eat. I know he is about to lose 20 pounds in a month.. however that's not my goal. I want to lose weight but more just feel good and be able to say NO to chocolate. I just love chocolate. haha who doesn't? Well I guess my sister doesn't, but that's just one out of many.
While reading my book, "You and Me Forever" by Francis and Lisa Chan last night it struck me how important it is to have humility in a marriage. The chapter was all about giving up pride, independence and being "right" all the time. Instead of being "right" in a relationship try to be like Christ. A man who would be a servant before asking for service. Sometimes we get caught up in who is right and who is wrong and what I deserve. We need to remember God stands actively against us when we are prideful. Sometimes it feels good to dig your heels against your spouse, but it's ultimately God your opposing. That's a different way of looking at it. I have to remember it's not important to be right but to DO what's right.
Tonight we are meeting as a group to talk about this chapter and I'm excited about it. I want to see if Craig will read this chapter as well. It's a good read.
Praises for Micah sleeping from 8 p.m. until 6:30 a.m. this morning. I am up and ready for the day and he is taking a nap at 8:30a.m. right now. That works for me!
Craig is back to work this morning and he seems refreshed and ready to start new. I am meeting with my friend Amy this week to talk about watching her son. Depending on when they need me I am hoping to book my flight to come home the end of February. Right now they have some sweet deals on Southwest so I better grab them while they are hot!
Love you all!! Happy New YEAR
