Seriously though, God has done two things in the last week that have really been great. I was going to think of some other thing to say there but nothing came to mind, so you get what you get.
1.) First, last Saturday, I spent most of the morning sleeping and the rest with Shannon drinking coffee. After Shannon left I decided to watch a movie and do laundry. At this point I hadn’t seen any of my family all day but didn’t think much of it, I thought it was still a weekday. I continued sitting around, ate a fancy lunch and was maybe going to cramp in some errands before I went to work. Well I realize at 2 that Abby’s first swim meet was that day. I remembered my mom saying it was a home meet and that I should come. Well I quickly showered and spent the whole time beating myself up about how I wasted the day. I called Abby to apologize because I knew the meet had to over by then and I really needed to get ready for work. Abby wasn’t angry at all, turns out the first meet was not a home one, next week was the first home meet.
God taught me not to waste my day, with out me hurting my sister’s feelings like I thought.
2.) Several nights ago I was getting ready for bed, which includes turning on my dvd player and reading my bible before I turn on the TV to fall asleep to whatever movie is in. I fall asleep to a movie essentially because of the reasons in the post below. Anyways, I got half way through the chapter I was reading and decided I was too tired and so I put down my bible and turn on the TV. It took me a little while to notice but it turns out there was no sound, this didn’t surprise me because it is an old TV and could break at anytime. I was a little worried about falling asleep. I decided just to turn on some David Crowder and Leeland and read some more bible. I read Psalm 119 aloud… do it and you’ll know. It was a wonderful night with God.
Now, about ten minutes ago, I turned on my TV for the first time since that night to see if I could solve the sound problem. Turns out that the speakers were off…
God broke my habit of having to fall asleep with the TV on, gave me some time with Him and I don’t have to buy a new TV or be TVless.
