Invitations Stole My week

Well Invitations need to go out soon so I have been running around trying to get all the pieces together for them. stamps and maps to the church and so on. Also we decided on these invitations that require ALOT of assembling and so it has taken a while. My sister has awesome handwriting so by the grace of God she has agreed to address them! We have gotten almost half done and finishing when she comes back over Thanksgiving! Last night I was up until 2:30 putting as much of them together as I could. I have not stayed up until 2:30 in A LONG time. But luckily I think I am at a point where all I need is her to finishing writing and I can just put it in the envelope! Who knew invitations would be such a task! This has made me not look forward to making the programs!!

Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine has been ok. I feel like i am just going through motions right now. I haven't had time to sit and read my bible in a couple days and i can feel it. It makes me sad, but its one of those things were I go back through my day and see where I made the choice to not do it. It's not that I am too busy, because God gives us enough time in the day to get done what HE wants us to get done. When we start saying things like there isn't enough time, and there should be more hours in a day, I think it is because we are adding our own agenda to Gods and His is the one that normally gets shorted. So that is where I am right now, I'm being very productive but not in the things that I should. I think it is also that Chris and I didn't go to church or small group on Sunday and it has taken affect on me because i am also not in class this week so most of my accountability is gone right now. It's also working out though too. Everytime i schedule time to go, I get "tired" and don't want to. My mom gets up almost every morning to jog, and she works like 30 hours a week and everytime I come in the kitchen or the living room, she is doing her bible study. I am working on the mental discipline to be able to do that.

Sorry enough rambling. I hope everyone has a Happy Friday!!!

Ok

Jackie: I have been attending a bible study based on the book "Liberated through Submission". The instructor advises spending just 15 minutes each day with God. Reading scripture & prayer. This becomes a habit. You can spend more time with God, but start with 15 minutes. I admit some days I don't, but I'm trying. This book is so enlightening. It's not about submission to a man but submitting everything to God. Hope you enjoy it.
