Tonight's chapter is John 4
In this chapter Jesus meets a Samaritan woman who is astonished that a Jew would associate with her. He then explains how He is the living water and all that drink from it will never be thirsty. What a honor to have been able to drink from that water in my life. My parents aren't practicing Christians, as much as they have taken great care of me, their influence on me spiritually has been less than satisfying. I don't condone all private schools, but had I not gone to one I don't think my love for the Lord would be very strong. I am thankful everyday that since I didn't have that influence at home, I at least had it in school.
Today was an okay day. Work was mundane but better than accounting. Sometimes I dont want to go in and deal with the pressure of being an "assistant", I would rather have my own responsibilities and maybe even have someone assisting ME. Busy days suit me better as I can focus and get things done rather than have lapses in time where Im sitting there staring into the virtural black hole of a computer screen. I dont know how video game people do it. I would much rather be hiking, shopping, having lunch in a bistro downtown on an umbrella covered slatted table...anything but TV and internet PLEASE!
I am anxious to start my life as a wife. Although I know Mike and I have many differences I pray that I am able to be patient and understanding, without losing who I am. Sometimes I feel like its only me that has to bend how I see/do/perceive/appreciate things. He is a very strong willed person, which I love about him. I just hope I don't have to give up my will in order to get along while dying inside. I will need the Lord's strength on this one. Not to mention being raised so differently. I was brought up to be very independent. Now marriage brings me a partner, I don't have to do everything myself YAY! But Mike wasn't raised that way. Out of boredom, his mom does almost everything for him, and he complies (he says) just to make her happy. I'm not looking forward to those days when I have to tell him I'm not his mother...even though he claims I never will. Even with these things, there is still no one I would rather spend my life with.
I bought a yoga DVD and once I can move my TV to a different position in the room I will begin working on getting an hour in daily. Hopefully that will happen tomorrow - depends on how much cable wire dad can find for me. Pray that I stay motivated! I am weak in that area too.
That's all for now. Until next time - Fly with the wings the Lord provided you.
