We had a great weekend but as usual it ended up all too abruptly and with me dropping Jacob off at DFW for another flight to LAX. I think if nothing else, these trips have made me appreciate my husband a lot more because I REALLY miss him when he's gone. At least we had almost a month in between trips this time. I am truly thankful for that!

This week is VBS at our church. I love VBS because Rebekah had such a great time last year. It's everyday for a week and last year when it was over I had to explain to her for the two weeks following why we were not going to VBS again until next year. So although she doesnt really remember VBS from last year everyone has been hyping it up and we've been decorating the church for it so she's really looking forward to it. For me it will be a bit of a scheduling hassle because I dont know how I'm going to fit in my workouts. Either I go before or go late after VBS. I would rather go before but the more I think about it I might have to go after which will make the mornings oh so dreadful due to lack of sufficient sleep.

Making decisions as a Christian can be too hard sometimes. The hardest times are when you dont know if you are making a decision from a Christian perspective or a selfish perspective. Sometimes the result is the same but you question it because you're motives are not clear even to yourself. I know what would help me - sticking to my regular prayer/Bible reading time every day. I'm so horrible about that. But I am more at ease with my decisions when I know I'm communing with God on a daily basis. I will do really good for a few days and then something will happen and I'll fall off track again. Of course I pray randomly during the day but I need the focused time with Him and I'm not always good about giving it to Him. Some people have grown up having this special time every day so to them it's like brushing their teeth and they cant imagine not having that time in their day. I admire that and need to develop it. Rebekah should know that her parents dont go a day without kneeling before God and reading from His word.
