Day of Rest

The sermon today was about dealing with Sensory Overload in our lives. Pastor talked about how resting was important to God for our rejuvenation. So that's what our family did today: came home and rested. Then tonight we took the girls to the church for babysitting while Charlie and I went out to dinner and bowling with our friends from Sunday School. It was so nice to be out with friends with no girls. I love the girls, but I sure love "Grown Up" time. It was very restful.

Tomorrow is my official start day for the UWC. For the next 8 weeks, I'll be walking Monday through Saturday with Sunday for a day of rest for my body. I'm so excited about this because I have such a WONDERFUL support system of family and friends behind me. Thanks so much.

Exercise
Today was my day off from walking, but I did go bowling tonight.

Devotional
Again, I haven't done it before typing this, but the one thing that stuck out for me today was James 1:19--Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. How important this is to remember with everyone, but especially our children. Even our spouses. How often do we jump to conclusions without all the information or begin formulating a response while they are still talking. We need to be sure we are truly listening and not just hearing. I pray that this verse gets deep in my soul and that it comes to mind in difficult situations.
