1) I leave for Australia in 15 days!
2) Doug hurt himself. :( He pulled some muscles in his neck and is now wearing a neck brace and taking lots of painkillers. Pray for him, please!
3)I ran my farthest distance for this round of training. A few days ago, I ran 5.5 miles at Eagle Creek Park. I splurged recently (I don't do that often!) and got a Polar heart rate monitor watch. It beeps at me if I exert myself too much, as I am prone to doing!
4)I have all my make-up and brushes packed. I've been gathering things slowly that I know I won't use between now and the time I leave. I have a laundry basket full of things I'll be taking. One thing I need is an extra check in bag. I only have one, currently. I may borrow from someone...
5)Doug asked me a few days ago if I think I'm a woman after God's own heart. Stop.
OK, so THAT threw me into a whirlwind of thoughts as I pondered how to answer. The past couple of weeks have been filled with questions in my mind, and seemingly random thoughts on this very thing. I've never been asked that question so directly before. This morning I read a devotional by Charles Spurgeon. The passage of Scripture that he used for that particular day was 1 Corinthians 10:12 - "Therefore, let him that thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall." It almost seems arrogant to say yes. But to say no - is that denying the power of God in my life in sanctification? Isn't that what He's making me into? I don't know. I guess I will do some more study to find out what a woman after God's heart is.. What does she look like? what does she do? What is her attitude?
6)The next day Doug asked me how I came to be a Christian. Why all the hard questions?! It's because he's had more time to think about these things since being injured and away from work for a few days. I thought and prayed hard about that one. I almost felt offended at the question.. like maybe he was doubting my salvation or something. Then I got a hold of myself and decided to take it like an adult, think through it carefully, and answer wisely. After prayer and thought I wrote, "My Conversion" which will be my next post.
Hey, hun, we have a huge nice luggage set that we got as a wedding gift. Please feel free to borrow whatever you need! There are 3 or 4 different sized roller bags, and one duffle-type bag that would be better for carry on. Let me know!

Aw, Kylin, thank you! I think I may take you up on that. I just need a big roller bag to check in. I have a carry on bag and a big purse, so that should be enough to get me there. I'll call you sometime this week and we'll make a plan to meet up (I can drive over there) in the next few days. I can't believe I leave in only 2 weeks!
ReplyDeletePS. Are you busy on Wednesday? Bonnie and I both have the day off....
