Lets start with the Day 5 of the Bible in 365
Today we heard the beginning about Abram (Abraham!) - all I can say about this one is I am soooo envious! I want to be like him. Throughout these four chapters it would say "God told Abram to do THIS" ... Abram said "OK" and was blessed! If only that is how it would be in my life... I want the faith and the courage to say "OK" to whatever God says...In Chapter 15:6 it says "Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness"... I love that... I want that so bad .. so so bad. I know as we go through the bible I am going to say these words again because there are so many wonderful people in the bible. But as I read it, maybe I can become more like it... please God! I wonder what support system he had, or how he became so grounded in having the faith in God that he did. What it that he didn't know any better? There wasn't the doubt in his life that our world is so corrupt by now? I don't know, but it sure is a desirable trait! And I can not help but think that maybe if I did believe I wouldn't have to wait so long for certain things... if I just believed the first time and trusted God that I could move on..... I do believe... I do trust... but it is a total different story when you have to walk the tight rope and trust in the miracle to keep you balanced!
Ok... so DEALS! I used my $25 dollar gift card at Albertson's today and shopped the deals and got a great meal and some snacks!
I look forward to the coupons tomorrow and getting my weekly meals planed and shopped for - I'll post them tomorrow night!
I did horrible at swagbucks today... so nothing to report there!
What did I do today? I had the opportunity to have an extra kid today. The same age as my daughter, so we played in the yard, played in the house... played ... played... and played!!! They all had such a great night and were so tired they were happy to lay down tonight!
As a night cap I am going to mention how much good friends mean to me. Sometimes it can be a hard thing to make friends... it is even harder to make good friends, friends you enjoy, you can cook with, play with, do laundry with, cry with, and do nothing with. I can not deny that I do wish I had more of those in my life... or at least I wish they lived closer. But I am never going to stop trying to make those friendships...We had a great evening tonight with new friends and it was very refreshing - I am more than thankful for friends, fellowship is so much of knowing the love of Christ, it is through my friends and family that I see how much God loves his children and enjoys it when they fellowship and can enjoy life together! I am thankful for having the friendships I currently have and the ones to come!
