Weekend Reflection
This has been a different week for me in that I allowed myself to be anxious about things in our lives. I try to "be anxious for nothing" but I didn't do so well this week. I am blaming it on hormones and I wish the Bible said, "Be anxious for nothing, except when you are hormonal...", then I would be a much more obedient child!
The week started with Church and our traditional Pizza Hut lunch! We had Life Groups at someone else's house this time and we had a great time.
Monday, we had our Upwards Banquet that I wrote about on Tuesday. I was so proud!
Tuesday, I walked the Riverwalk with a friend and hurt my foot. I didn't have an accident or anything--just walked in old shoes with bad support! I bought some great new tennies and my foot is healing!
Wednesday, I started not feeling well and started worrying about everything under the sun!
One of my worries was the sad state of our yard! When Spring comes, I am ready for the yard to look nice. My sweet hubby is out in the yard right now working hard so I won't have to be anxious anymore! It will look wonderful!
Thursday and Friday were just regular days--we are getting ready for the kids to take their Achievement tests at a local Christian school--so we have been spending some time in review! I bought the Test Readiness books you can get at the bookstore and they are going through those!
Today, we are headed for a birthday party an hour away. While we are there, we will go see Amazing Grace. I am looking forward to seeing it! Have a great week everyone!
*Updated to add that my yard looks mucho bettero and Amazing Grace was just that---Amazing! I highly recommend it. We had to travel an hour away to find a theatre that was showing it. And I'm sad to say that the parking lot was jam-packed, but the Amazing Grace theatre was fairly empty. We, as Christians, really need to get out and support these faith-based films in order to keep them coming! Ok--I'll quit preaching now!

Wow- you had a packed week! Comfortable shoes are a must, huh! I must be getting old, but I won't wear uncomforable shoes for anything anymore no matter how good they look. It's just not worth it. I've heard good things about that movie- I haven't checked to see if it's playing here though. Have a great Sunday!
I want to see Amazing Grace! And...when we get home from CA, the flower beds are going to be attacked!
I want to see that movie too, I loved facing the giants!
It's very hard not to be anxious. I have to really work on this and dealing with Izzy has brought it home for me because the progress hasn't been the speed I would have thought or planned... I'm quite the planner. Give me a problem, and I'll give you a plan! But, I have learned to trust God, to lean on Him, and to not manage my life so much. I believe that she is healed by the stripes of Jesus. That's all that matters. Walking by faith rather than sight is a beautiful saying, lovely sentiment, nice picture for the wall... living it is not any of the above, but is a complete separation from self and union with God.
I pray that you are filled with peace this week and I am filled with faith!

Worry. Ummmm...No, not me, huh-uh, now way. I never worry. NOT.
This is something I struggle with daily. I worry about big things, little things, important things, stupid things. Hormones make it worse here too.
Praying for peace of heart for both of us.
Sounds like a similar week to mine..in feeling anxious anyways! Oh I love the Riverwalk! So sorry you hurt your foot. I want to go see Amazing Grace, my husband and I haven't been out since I can't even remember! Oh, and my husband was also working on agarden in the front with our eldest daughter. Yes, it is time for spring flowers!
Ah, YES...nothing brings out my fleshy side quite like the hormones!!!
I am a BIG TIME worrier from way back. Like since birth! I struggle with it daily...no...I mean hourly! Pray for me and I'll be praying for you!
I am dying to see Facing the Giants and Amazing Grace. I am glad you got to enjoy the movie.
I hope you have a very blessed week this week. And if your hubby gets a free minute he can come on up to TN and work on my yard. My hubby hasn't started on ours yet!
Yeah, anxiety. I think that's probably me besetting sin. If there's one thing that I would lay at the base of all my health problems, it's angst.
Your the 2nd blogger today that really liked the movie. I'll have to see it.
Boy, I know about foot pain, so I hope yours gets better.
Hope this week is even better!
Now I've heard so much about Amazing Grace I've got to go see it!
