I am thinking... about
I am thankful... for God’s provision.
In the kitchen... I had my fiesta omelet thingy for brunch earlier. Not sure what’s for dinner yet. I'm really trying not to think about my next meal while I'm eating the current one.
I am wearing... Jeans and a long sleeved shirt (In MARCH!).
I am creating... Sav-A-Life is closed today, so I’m going to do some
stitching for them.
I am going... hopefully nowhere today. I’ve already been to the gym and I’ve got 12-step
study tonight, but that’s about all.
I am wondering... why I seem to be stuck in the same place. Not health wise (thank the Lord); just in other areas of my life like finances, my career, and relationships. This is getting so old. I know, whah, whah. I’ll suck it up and hush.
I am reading... I had endeavored to read more over the Easter season, but other than the Lent devotionals, I have been so behind. I think I’m going to have to set aside some reading time every day. No computer, no nothing. I love to read, and I’m not sure where my reading mojo went, but I need to get it back.
I am hoping... that I can kiss my blood pressure meds goodbye soon. I’m also hoping to hit the allusive “Wall of 40” in the next week or two. Every time I’ve lost weight before, the most I could beat off was 39 pounds. Then relapse would set in and I would start to gain instead of lose. Forty is my wall. If I can knock it down, then I know that with God’s help, I can lose the rest.
I am looking forward to... SPRING (I don’t CARE what the calendar
says. It ain’t spring.)
I am learning… more and more about how good God is.
Around the house... Spring cleaning the kitchen.
I am pondering... on the
upcoming Maundy Thursday Celebration.
This will be the first time I’ve ever celebrated Maundy Thursday (the
commemoration of the Last Supper and Jesus washing the feet of His
disciples). I am thankful to be learning
more about the holy days of the liturgical calendar (I’m still really foggy
about Advent, but there’s always next time).
However, the only thing bothering me about the celebration is that the
leadership of the church is doing the foot washing. Now, we had foot washings at my home church,
so the concept isn’t new. But, I really
feel uncomfortable with having the leaders of my church wash my feet. My friend, Angela, told me it was a pride
issue. I don’t see how. I don’t think that I’m too good to have them
was my feet. Quite the opposite; I feel
that they are too good to be washing my feet.
Position wise, it feels all wrong.
I should be washing their feet; that is my place. I should be serving them, not them serving
me. I don’t know how (or if) I’m going
to do this. I don’t see how that is
pride…

One of my favorite things... YouTube. For someone without cable, YouTube rocks!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Community Band practice tomorrow, CR on Friday.
A peek into my day... Here is a link to the audio of my sharing
time at Celebrate Recovery this past Friday.
Enjoy.
