We go there and pray that God gives us a chance to show the love of Jesus to these beautiful people.
both meals made me feel tired after, I've heard food is supposed to give me energy. Perhaps it's too many beans/carbs. I am focusing more and more on how what I eat makes me feel. Went to church this morning, Hutch took Hannah and Jack to the climbing wall, I took a nap after lunch, messed with my ipod, put some fast songs into a workout playlist, took the kids to awana, went out for Indian food, picked up the kiddos, Hannah made dinner for the ducks which consisted of bananas and peanut butter, vanilla yogurt, orange juice. Hutch spent the evening cleaning, doing laundry, organizing some toys, and generally being the perfect husband. I read books and trained Benji how to sit still on my lap, that will take a few tries!
Today I'm stirred about adoption, especially praying for the orphans in Haiti. I am moved by the needs of the homeless here in Riverside, I am greatly troubled about some character issues in my firstborn and seeking God's wisdom in this. I was moved by a song this morning, He Is Stronger, I"ll post it on my wall. I am overwhelmed by the truth that sin is broken, Jesus saved me, He is Lord of all, even these details of my life. As I list the day's events and the smallest food I ate, I realize how little it is. I want to conquer bigger things. The truth is, when I am faithful in the little things He can make me ruler over much. I want people Lord, I want to see them meet You, know your love, really get what this life is all about. The kingdom of heaven isn't about eating and drinking, it's about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
