Hair day

More crying puppy very early this morning... once the lights were turned on we found puppy mess at the foot of our bed (because evidently we didn't wake up to take her potty at some point). I got up around 8:30, made myself some breakfast, did my devotional time, and started work on the office area. I got that done around 1, made myself lunch and then Esther came over to do my hair. Kids got home in the middle of my hair process, had to help with science fair project, homework, make dinner, etc. So the whole day just got away from me. When the kids went to bed at 9 I wanted to go to the gym, but no one else was going and quite honestly I'm tired. As soon as I finish this I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is another day...

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
We were made for God's enjoyment. We were made to worship. Worship isn't just the music service or church services, it should be every part of our lives. Another thing that I didn't realize is that worship isn't about me, it's about God! We don't worship to please ourselves or to get something out of it, we worship to please God and draw closer to Him. "How is it possible to do everything to the glory of God? By doing everything as if you were doing for Jesus and by carrying on a continual conversation with Him while you do it." By constantly thinking about God, we're abiding in his love. Real worship is all about falling in love with Jesus.

BIBLE IN A YEAR
Today's passages: Genesis 12, 13
Genesis 12 is about Abram doing as God told him to do. As Abram, Sarai, and Lot were traveling through the lands God led them to they were blessed. Once they reached Egypt Abram asked that Sarai say she is his sister rather than his wife because he knew Pharaoh would want her for his own wife, and that is exactly what happened. God then put a plague on Pharaoh's house because  of Sarai. Pharaoh then commanded that Abram take Sarai and leave.
Genesis 13 is where Abram and Lot have to separate because the land can't support their livestock and whatnot while they are together. So Lot chooses the valleys of Jordan, near Sodom, and Abram stays in Canaan. Abram prayed and God said that all the land Abram could see was for his family and it would be blessed. They settled in Hebron and built an alter to the Lord.

FLYLADY
I got the new office area organized, ran a few loads of laundry and shined my sink. Everything is starting to shape up in record time. I didn't have an enormous amount of time to do housework today, but the rest of the week will be full of refining the kitchen, bedrooms, laundry room, hall closet and the dreaded bathrooms (my lease favorite room to clean). This place will be clean and organized before I start my internship on Monday morning.

COUCH-TO-5K
I am a total slacker... my husband got home later than usual and that pushed our normal routine times back. I have to make it at least one or two days this week... I CAN DO THIS!
