A thought in progress

I found myself lately at a loss of words. Especially for my blog. I try to keep it light here-usually :). I just haven't been in a "light" mode. We're busier then we use to be. I'm sure everyone is. I guess that plays a part too. But I am also in a reflective mood.

I have started a prayer journal again. It's been a few years since I've done this, but when I was doing it I found myself a lot more conscious of God and the everyday things that are praise worthy, not just the "big" stuff. It's good to be doing a prayer journal again. I'm also trying to read my Bible more and focus on my personal time with God. It's funny because this week at work Pastor said that next year he's wanting to really encourage and focus on helping people focus on their personal time with God! So, maybe God is really stirring some stuff. That's not the only thing that makes me think this.

Monday Chandler ready the 3 John's and I think some if not all of 1 Peter. He read his Bible yesterday too and even took it with him and read on our way to the farm. I've been praying for him to have more of an interest in the Bible, I'm glad to see him reading so much of it right now.

In my "Friends" class with the girls, they wanted to do two lessons at the same time! So we're studying on being a friend forever and "Battlestations." Battlestations first lesson was to find another "Friend" and discuss things you can be praying for each other on. The girls said that they were going to be praying for each other's school friends! I see tremendous opportunity for the girls to grow a prayer partnership from this lesson and I believe that this friendship will be one that will stand the test of time, I'm glad to be a part of encouraging that growth. I am enjoying teaching the class-now. It took me a while, I know I'm aweful for admitting that and worse for it being true. But I did it because it seemed like the right thing to do, not because I wanted to do it. Now I want to do it! Which is cool, I think!

I don't really have an ending to this blog, I guess I'll just leave it as is. A thought in progress.
