This week...

This week has been a good week. Last Monday, I started walking with a friend around the neighborhood. It was so nice and relaxing to get out and exercise..yes I said relaxing. We walked and talked and were able to catch up on each others lives. Thursday night, she had called and couldn't make it so I took Mikaela, Tyler and Chelsey with me...that was fun too. The kids did great and I listened to my MP3 player and talked to them...Yes, I can multi-task pretty good by now! Saturday night I went by myself, and this time it was very relaxing also, I listened to my music and walked and had time just to think about life. Today Ken and Tyler played golf while Whitney and I tagged along. I was Ken's caddy so I pushed the automatic cart bag that would go by itself, (golfing has come a long way) and put the clubs away when he was done. Mikaela and Chelsey went to the mall for the afternoon. We walked on the par 3 course, so I was able to get some exercise again. I feel pretty good after all this week of walking... a little sore just because of my joints but it felt good to get out and move. I just need to keep it up and stay motivated.

In Church today the service was about worrying. It was good to be reminded that God is in control and we shouldn't worry about anything. It is so easy these days to worry about the economy, money, jobs, layoffs, food, etc. It was good to hear that God loves us so much more than the birds and flowers, He will give us everything we need and He even gives us much much more that that. That gets me thinking about all the people who don't have much, like in other countries. They depend on God so much more than we do... We get to the point of us forgetting that everything we have is because God has given it to us... we do nothing on our own! It's very humbling when you really think about it and let God speak to your heart..We are His children and He will provide for us our needs... not our wants!

Ken and I sponsor a child from Indonesia through Compassion. She is so adorable, and I can't wait to get the first letter from her. Please pray for her and her family... her name is Firjinia (Firji) Marcelia Marlina Manurip. God has blessed us so that we can be a blessing for someone else. Isn't God Awesome, the way He works through others!!
