S*OW

Today started out decent I suppose, except for the disgusting white junk on the ground. As you can tell I’m not a fan of s*ow, in fact I view it as a curse word in my home (just kidding!). Because it’s so cold outside the furnace in our apartment just can’t keep up, making it sooooo cold! I don’t like cold weather at all, which is why I remained inside today. Honestly, I don’t anticipate going to the gym tonight either... it’s too cold to walk and I’m not driving a block. Maybe trying out my Wii active game or something would be a good idea.

Today is Thursday and Zach has acting class at 5... and I completely forgot today!!! We left our place at 10 til and made it at 10 after. Of all the things to forget...

I’m hoping that I can get some organizing done in our bedroom this evening with the help of Nathan and the boys. It’s unfortunate that we don’t have any storage where we live and the one room where we live that is supposed to be a sanctuary, is now in fact the catch all. I’ve gotten rid of so many things, so the things that we have to store are things that we need to keep (i.e. summer clothes, holiday decor). I just hope we can figure out a way for it to be organized enough to not look like clutter.

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
God wants to be my best friend.
When I think about my best friends I think about the time we spend together and all of the details we share with one another, I feel like I do that with God. But sometimes I find that I’m not always the best listener and that could be what’s standing between me and my relationship with God. So how can I become God’s best friend? By being in constant conversation with him and by mediation. It says that if I know how to worry, then I already know how to meditate... just change those thoughts of worry to scripture. Spend time in God’s word, spend time remembering to talk to him throughout the day... brings a new light to “pray without ceasing.”

BIBLE IN A YEAR
Today’s passages: Genesis 20, 21, 22, 23
Abraham and Sarah set out on another journey where he once again told a king that Sarah was his sister and the king took her as his wife. God came to the king in a dream and said that he was a dead man because he took up with another man’s wife. He pleaded with God for his life because he had not had relations with Sarah. God would spare him if he were to restore Sarah as Abraham’s wife. He restored Sarah and asked Abraham why he would do such a thing and he explained that Sarah was in fact his half sister. The king then understood and shared his wealth with Abraham. God restored the king’s wife and maids so they could again bore children. (Genesis 20)
Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son, Isaac. On the eighth day Abraham circumcised him. A great feast was given the day Isaac was weaned. Soon after Sarah no longer wanted Hagar and her son to be around. God told Abraham to listen to Sarah and so he gave them food and sent them on their way. They walked until they were out of water. Hagar prayed that God wouldn’t allow her to see her son die, God assured her that was not the case. When she opened her eyes a well appeared. The boy grew and became a great archer, his mother chose an Egyptian wife for him. The king and Abraham made a covenant in the land of the Philistines. (Genesis 21)
God came to Abraham and asked that he take his son Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham did as he was asked, he prepared an alter and bound his son. He was preparing to take his life but God intervened. A ram appeared in the brush and Abraham offered the ram as the sacrifice. God came to Abraham again and said that he would bless him greatly, that his seed would be greatly multiplied. Abraham learned that his family was growing. (Genesis 22)
Sarah passed away at the age of 127. Abraham asked to bury her out of sight in a cave that belonged to someone else. He purchased the land and cave, that is where Sarah was laid to rest. (Genesis 23)

FLYLADY
Another lazy day. I feel like the majority of my apartment is spotless so I don't have to work as hard. However the bathrooms and bedrooms still need some attention, but I'll have help this weekend.

COUCH-TO-5K
For some reason the wii won't read my game... annoying! And you better believe I'm not walking up to the gym in this freezing cold!!
