It was great to be back at church on Wednesday night. We finished our study "Having a Mary Spirit" and will move onto "So You Want To Be Like Christ" in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to that study and hope that as I spend time in the Word and this study God will use it to mold me and make me more like Christ everyday. It was a blessing to reconnect with friends that I hadn't seen for a while. Even my "grumpy" ole friend. :0)
Jeff and I started to exercise each day and for the first time in my life I'm actually looking forward to that everyday. The kids are getting involved too. MacKenzie likes to walk on the treadmill or ride the bike and Dylan likes the rowing machine. Our dogs like to watch or take a nap as we exercise. Oh, the life of a dog!
We decided to tackle our kids' bedroom tonight since they are having friends over this weekend. I'm not sure how many times our neighbors heard my yelling as the kids were doing their typical dilly dallying while Jeff and I cleaned each room. That was not the original plan...we were just going to "help" the kids. I'm sure most of you have been there and would agree that they would probably still be up at midnight cleaning if we didn't help. We talked about being organized last night - guess my kids don't have that trait. But I wouldn't trade in either one. MacKenzie also had basketball tonight so in her defense she was extremely tired and emotional. Gotta love those pre-teen (I guess their called tweens now) years.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend!
I also wanted to share part of the song "He Holds The Keys" by John Mohr. I hope as you read it that you will really think about the meaning of these words and the One - Jesus Christ who holds those keys. He is mighty to save and worthy to be praised moment by moment, each and every day.
"And to all the things that have kept you away. That keep you defeated day after day after day. The heartache that nobody sees that eats at your soul like a cruel disease. He who sets the captives free, it is He; it is He; it is He who holds your keys!"
