-I rode my bike around both lakes for the first time this season last night. It was a bad choice of nice. Ubber windy. I few times I thought it was going to blow my wheels right out from under me. And with the cart on the back I had a lot of drag going on. So I headed into the wind at the start and the whole time I was thinking that it would be worth it because it would be so much easier on the second half. The only problem is that there was a storm front going through and by the time I got to the second half the wind has switched! So I was going into the wind the entire time. So hard at times that I had to get off and push because I could not pedal against it. Now that it's over, I'm grateful for the hard work. But gesh!
-Trying to decide about doing the Women's Bible study at camp this summer. It's another Beth Moore study, and I do enjoy those. And I know it will probably be good and challenging and help me keep my mind in the right place. But I'm always hesitant to commit my time to anything. And I don't have a good plan for what to do with Parker yet. So I told God that I would do it if He gave me a good solution for Parker. But the description came out for it today and it really didn't get me excited at all. So, hm...
-On the other hand I'm really enjoying my personal Bible Study. Reading through the Bible chronologically, but also studying the book "Having a Mary Spirit" by Joanna Weaver. She's got some good stuff. The point being that we have to stop trying to change ourselves and get ourselves out of the way so that Christ can do it. Also still memorizing the book for Proverbs. Started chapter 6 this month. They're really running together, but I love having so much in my head. So far to go though!
-My "mentee" with the KITA program and I have not been hooking up too well. She's busy with track, so we've not seen each other this month. I've contacted her a few times, but she doesn't seem to eager. That's rather discouraging, but I was introduced to another girl that was interested in having a mentor relationship. In the two times we've hung out I've been really impressed with her enthusiasm and eagerness to talk. Her family situation is interesting, so I'm just trying to listen for what God wants me to be saying and doing here. Hopefully it will go somewhere...
-Yesterday I went to visit my Grandpa again, and while there I asked him to tell me more about what he believes as a Christian Scientist. He seemed rather happy to have my interest. So he gave me some stuff to read and told me a bit about his background in it. I really don't know where this is going to go either. I was praying for Grandpa not so long ago and this is what God told me to do, to just ask him. I mean I'd love to turn him from the error of his ways and this religion that, from what I know so far, rather disturbs me. But this is the only step I know of so far, so we'll see I guess.
-Parker picks up on stuff so fast; little phrases from movies, lines from songs, things that I say. It's convicted me that I really need to work harder to fill this little mind with good things. I know part of it is "mommy guilt" that I could always do more. But also really I think I should give him some more focused teaching rather than letting him learn whatever. We've worked on Bible verses on and off, but I think it's time to do them a bit more.
-Ticks. I hate them. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about them. And I found 4 in 3 days!! Two on me!! Nasty!
There's probably more, but I'd better get back to working.
