new devo/journal.


Ah. summer, its back to hot... I love it :) The dear Lord answered my lost camera prayer and I found it last night under a pile of clothes... a bunch of stress was lifted off of my tiny, injured shoulders. I ate out with paps and twin today.... I love doing that.


My sweet basketball team got me $30 to Lifeway which was a very, very much needed and thoughful gift :] I finally made my way to capital to check out the store with a new devotion in mind... I had what I wanted in my head but when I got there it took me forever to figure out which one I wanted and I settled on two. I also got myself a pretty little journal since my last one is completley full. I love journals :]



first entry:


"mm. very first entry. Also first day cracking open my brand new devotion. Today's devotion was just one simple verse with a sermon on thanksgiving. You always hear that, "say thank you for this," "Thank God for that." but, do you? do you all of the time remember to thank God for everything; gifts and hardships? I don't even always thank God for the gifts.... ouch. what a jerk thing to do. As I sit here in this amazingly hot saturn, waiting for J to come out of his large scary school, I am thinking of the last time I had a prayer just specifically for thanking God. Hmm... It's been a while. It's easy to complain and want more.. it might be the easiest thing I do. Sorta makes me want to spend less money on myself. I know that if I gave a person everything they needed for their life... I would expect things in return or atleast a thank you.. ATLEAST... how selfish am I? Lord, how prideful am I to want so much and give so little? How big do I really think I am to deserve so much from someone who already gives too much? How selfish I am. Time to have a serious reality check. -D (Psalms 118:24)"


I think I might go for a walk before dance. Its so hot but quite lovely.
