Wow, where did the week go? I blinked and it was a week later. I have to admit a lot has been going on which is why I have been so absent. They have all been great blessings so lets add them up!
1. We started the season of lent which is just a great time to stop being of this world and really trying to dive deeper with Christ. My resolutions have been great at really focusing me on what is important - God first and family second. I love the no tv thing. There are moments I wish I could just unwind on the couch but instead I either serve my family by getting things done in the house or I turn to God in prayer or study. I hope I will be able to lessen my tv time even more after Lent ends. Last year, I reduced all daily tv but now I hope to lessen even the evening stuff. So refreshing!
2. Jason completed his retreat. I meant to ask for prayer support but well, I forgot a lot of things last week. He LOVED it and I can already see that he is truly trying to grow deeper in his faith. PRAISE GOD! I am not sure what more I can say than God is good!
3. While Jason was at the retreat, the boys and I spent time with my parents. Again, I helped my mom around her house and the boys got to play outside. My dad made the mistake of taking the boys into the hog barns in the only coats I had with me. STINKY! But they loved it. So I suppose the memories were worth a few stinky coats.
4. My niece made it to state basketball. We got to watch two of her sub state games last week and watched her first state game yesterday. THEY WON! So we get to watch them again tomorrow. I really hope they win. What an experience making it to the finals would be. I never pray for them to win but to do their best so please help me ask the good Lord for strength, speed, wisdom and most of all, safety! Go Wolves!
5. I have completed one week of my 40 bags, 40 days and it feels so good. I actually do not have quite as much to give away as last year but still, to be cleaned and organized is heavenly. I just feel so much more peace in my house and I hope my family does to.
How is your lent going?
God bless!
