(Click on the picture to go to Life Action Ministries)
1) This past week, our church hosted Life Action Ministries for the Thirst Conference. At first, I have to admit, I was a bit peeved. I'm on Spring Break and I don't have class at night but now I have to go to church every night?! (I'm embarrassed to even admit that to you). I think that was God setting up my schedule so that I could go (Thanks God! I'm glad You're in charge of me and I'm NOT!). It was a great week of truthful, scripturefilled services that really shone light to dark places in my heart. One of the things that I felt very convicted of this week was my bitterness. I would have never pinned myself as a bitter person before, but the conviction strings were pulled and the veil was lifted from my eyes. This is something that I feel like has really gotten in the middle of my relationship with the Lord and I'm so thankful that I have been convicted of this. I'm currently praying (and accepting prayers) to really pinpoint the root of this bitterness as I feel like I can't discard it from my heart if I'm unsure of where it's come from. 2) I mentioned above that I am currently enjoying Spring Break. Enjoying is the right word; unfortunately I have done little to nothing on the list of things that I wanted to get done. I'm suffering from procrastination right now by writing this blog...hmmmmm, go figure.
4) I just finished laundry (specifically the sheets and towel portion) and have towels hanging on various heaters around the apartment (don't worry, they're steam heaters and nothing will catch on fire). This is just another one of the many reasons that I look forward to the day when we have a washer and dryer IN our apartment that WORKS.
5) I've tried 3 new recipes this week and each one of them have been a success (no glory to me, I just followed the steps)! I look forward to sharing these recipes with you in the next couple of weeks (HEALTHY homemade spaghetti and meatballs, grilled chicken with asparagus and orzo, chicken fajitas)
8) I found myself at this blog this morning and absolutely LOVED reading it. This high school and college teacher has found a great and very interesting way to teach grammar to anyone who will read her blog. Trust me, it's entertaining AND educating!
9) Saving the best for last: Mimi and Laura are coming to visit tonight! I am so excited! Our plans for the weekend? Pizza and the UK game tonight; walking around the lake/park/zoo/state street tomorrow and then who knows what else the weekend will bring! I am so happy to hang out with my sweet friends! I haven't seen Mimers in FOREVER and I look forward to an amazing weekend with her!
10) I lied, number 9 wasn't the last one. One more...the weather here is reminding me of KY in the sense that it is SO random. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 60's weather last week but when it snowed over the weekend, talk about a BUMMER! This week has been in the 50's but as I type I hear the wind going nuts telling me that the cooler weather (40 degree temps) are making their way in. *sigh* I look forward to REAL spring!
Can't wait to see pictures!
