Her Interpretation

With me bringing the children to KidsLife so much, (our church's Children's Department childcare for staff and small-group attendees; I work there during the week) they have started coming home singing a lot of worship songs, since at every KidsLife session, we do worship complete with hand motions, a Bible story/lesson, and craft. One song we do, "Your Name," has a verse in it that says, "Come inspire our hearts today." I found Marcail singing it, ever so sweetly, as, "Come in spider hearts hearts today."

: )

In spite of my resolve to be more consistent in my blogging activities, it always seems to get away from me for one reason or another. This week, for instance, I have been buried in the excitement of the stomach bug. Thankfully, I have not acquired it, but everyone else in the family did, and Donovan even got a double-whammy of it. Tuesday night I was holding two small trash cans for Marcail and Donovan's relief, and calling Andrew on my cell phone at the same time: "Baby, WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?!?" Needless to say, my washing machine has been going non-stop, I've refilled my disinfectant bottle several times, gone through many rolls of paper towels, and scrubbed the house down several times.

Nonetheless, I've enjoyed the time here at home. The business of marching to the beat of the clock has halted for the past week, since I've stayed at home since Tuesday afternoon. No rushing out the door to get to church on time, or the gym, or the store or anything. No alarm clocks. This is my silver lining, and its been refreshing in its own way. The rest of the family has been sleeping a lot as their bodies have been trying to get back to health; which has left me plenty of free time to...... nap : ) Love it.

Thought for the Day

"People cannot consistently behave in ways that are inconsistent with the way they perceive themselves. You don't change yourself by your perception. You change your perception of yourself by believing the truth."

Neil T. Anderson

I am seeing in my own life that what I truly believe about myself, and who I am in Christ, (not what I should think about myself, or wish that I could) affects everything and everyone that I influence. Seeing that scares me a little! Maybe more than a little : ) But more than anything, it makes me desire to make sure I am truly believing the Truth.
