lazy

This last week I've been feeling great! I've been juicing once a day and made it to the gym 3 times this week. Just that simple change has increased my energy level a ton. Having more energy has made me realize how LAZY I've been lately. Lazy with eating habits (even with my food allergy limitations I've managed to gain some weight), I've been lazy with investing in the family, lazy with housework, lazy with exercising, and the most important one - I've been lazy spiritually.

I've slowly been getting back into the place of prayer, shaking off whatever lazy attitude I was developing. After going through these rough seasons, when that fresh revelation comes from the Lord there is nothing sweeter and more precious. I never want to leave that place. But I know I have to battle my flesh.. daily.. if I want to maintain that sweet place with the Lord. I have to "work out my salvation with fear and trembling" Phil 2:12 and I must "lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us (me), and let us (me) run with endurance the race that is set before us (me)." Hebrews 12:1b

Today has been one of those amazing days that I don't want to end, I've accomplished so much. I know that I was able to because the Lord allowed me to. I have been walking in my own strength not accomplishing much.  I'm writing this as a reminder to myself.   I have a tendency to forget lessons I've learned..




Fun train time with the boys.  This track took us a long time to build.




Tea and lunch time with Rose.



I had good quiet time, finished God's promises, went to the gym, cleaned the whole house (including mopping and vacuuming), did all the laundry, painted in the girls room, played with the kids (good quality playing), and rearranged the loft.  While moving furniture I decided to do something with these frames I had sitting against a wall.  I like the look.  I have some more outside on our fence that I spray painted teal last summer.

Now it is movie night and Bobby and I get to hang out!  Have a wonderful Friday night!  :)
