FAITH:
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do as far as devotional readings, so I haven't done anything for a few days. Today I started a YouVersion devo called 'Teaching Tolerance' and I really like it. It is intended for a family to do together, and addresses the difference between God's word and the Biblical tolerance, & the world's tolerance levels. It says, "What you choose to believe about God matters. It is the most important choice of your life." I know that for me, it's easy to get caught up in the worldly views. I just have to remember to turn to the Bible for answers instead of looking at what is tolerated in today's world. Obviously, our 'world' has lots of issues! I think that we are desensitized to a lot of stuff (violence, sex, etc.) because we see it on tv and in the movies. Or video games! We aren't gamers, but some of the violence that I hear about in the games is unreal! I think that kids know that it's not real, but that's not the real issue- it's the desensitizing to violence that is the issue! (just my opinion- I'm sure that there are many other professional opinions that would differ!!) Anyway, I just went off in a different direction with that :) Today's Bible reading can be found Here- Deuteronomy 30:19-20
FAMILY:
Pat is at his Thursday morning Bible study this morning. He has been meeting up with these gentlemen for a few years now and I think it's pretty great that they get together! Encouragement, prayer, and a community of Christian men of all ages- it's a great thing! I need to finish getting ready & get some snacks packed for the road trip :) I didn't sleep much last night- I always get nervous when it's time for her to leave & come home! Don't get me wrong- it's an excited nervous!! I just cross my fingers that everything goes as planned & she is home tonight!!
No baby yet- Pat was at my brother's yesterday and said that the nursery looks great! Now we just need him to arrive, safe & healthy!! I know that my parents are beyond excited- they weren't there when Elisabeth was born because she was early & I was in NY- so this is their first experience with a new grandbaby being born! We are all excited- my sis will be flying in from Texas too! This baby is going to have so much love from both sides of his family :)
FITNESS:
Since my dogs woke me up again, and I hadn't slept well anyway (sorry hunny, I was a wee bit cranky this morning! HAHA!) I got up and went running. I made it 3 miles so I was happy. I'm really trying to ease into the increase of mileage in hopes that my knee will tolerate it better. So far, so good!! (other than the heat & humidity- it makes running so much worse! lol!)
The view from my run this morning- sun rising over the clouds! I'm hoping they are going to be rain clouds by this afternoon!
My nutrition is pretty good- and my water intake was really high yesterday! Yesterday I did my early morning bootcamp, and then came home & did 30 minutes of HIIT- I was exhausted! Last night I had a training session with Nicole at the gym, and she did AMAZING! I'm super proud of that girl :) After that, I met up with Angela and Marc at their house for personal training, and it was a tough workout! They both pushed through it, and I'm happy to hear that they are working out on their off-day's and making positive eating choices!
Here is another pic of my dog, Ray. Last night I turned on the tv downstairs and 'Zookeeper' was on- he was totally intrigued by the animals! He was whining at the monkey, and just stood there watching tv!
