Fellowship

I did not want to get out of bed this morning, but I did and it was later than normal. My body is so not used to this schedule yet...

Today we did pedicures and acrylic nails, two things I’ve always been fond of receiving. I had to perform a pedicure on a student because there is an odd number, but I received one in return. Tomorrow is the last day one of the students will be in our classroom, she’s graduating to the floor, and we’re doing a potluck. We’re going to have a variety of goodies and I signed up to make my red velvet brownies with white chocolate buttercream frosting, it’s a sure fire hit.

I’m not sure how this running this is working on my feet. I say that because I just can’t seem to find a happy medium with my shoes, they’re either too tight or not tight enough. I love my shoes, mostly because they’re pink and they breathe. I may have to do some googling on the topic.

I’m so looking forward to Friday!!! As a staff member (intern in my case) we get to wear jeans on Fridays, just have to jazz the top up a bit. Kids go to their mom’s this weekend so I’m hoping I can get caught up on housework and studying.

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
We’re built for community, for fellowship.
You can worship with a crowd, but you can’t fellowship with one.
In real fellowship people experience authenticity.
In real fellowship people experience mutuality (giving and receiving).
In real fellowship people experience sympathy.
In real fellowship people experience mercy.

BIBLE IN YEAR
Today’s passages: Genesis 41-43
It had been 2 years, Pharaoh had 2 dreams. He sent out for all the magicians and wise men to help decode his dreams, no one could interpret them. The cupbearer came forward and reminded Pharaoh of his time in prison and that Joseph interpreted his dream. Pharaoh sent for Joseph to interpret his dreams. Both dreams were basically the same thing, 7 years of feast and 7 years of famine. Because he had 2 dreams of basically the same thing, Joseph said God was to bring about these things quickly. Joseph suggested that they begin collecting and storing food for the famine time, Pharaoh agreed. Pharaoh once again appointed Joseph as the overseer and gave him a wife (Asenath). Joseph put his saving food plan into motion. Asenath had 2 sons 2 years before the famine. The famine came about and the people ran to Pharaoh for guidance, Pharaoh sent them to Joseph. The people from all over came to buy grain from Joseph.(Genesis 41)
Jacob heard of grain in Egypt and sent 10 of his sons to get some. Joseph was in charge and recognized his brothers when they came for grain. He disguised himself and denied them grain. He called them spies and sent for Benjamin (who remained with Jacob at home). While the one who went for Benjamin was gone the others were in jail for 3 days. He sent all the brothers home with grain except for Reuben, who he bound. When they went to open their sacks they found their money was returned. They returned to Jacob and told him what had happened. (Genesis 42)
Jacob and family were running out of food and sent the boys off for more, this time with Benjamin as required. Joseph saw them coming and prepared a feast. Joseph was beside himself when he saw Benjamin, he wept. (Genesis 43)


FLYLADY
I had the boys vacuum and pick up a bit tonight. As much as I need to be addressing the small amounts of clutter in the hot spots, I'm willing to put it off until the weekend.

COUCH-TO-5K
I'm not running tonight, I'm hoping to tomorrow.
