Becoming a Better Help-Meet: Let’s Get Real

12 Step Program

Wondering what’s new with you?

1)What’s the most exciting thing you’ve done in January 2010?

2)What food can you not get enough of right now?

3)What have you been reading?

4)What have you been watching?

5)Tell me something I don’t know about you.

Here’s my answers:

1)The most exciting thing I did in January was have my husband home for six days out of a week thanks to a holiday plus a big storm that resulted in snow days.

2)I’ve discovered that I really love guacamole.  I always thought I hated it, but I don’t.  I could eat a LOT of eat it if I’m not careful.

3)I have been reading Spurgeon’s Daily Treasury from the Psalms.  I don’t love all of it, but most of it is really good.

4)I’ve been watching Signing Time DVD’s with my girls.  I’m in love. They are so awesome!  I wish I was rich so I could buy them all.  But I’m so excited that the library has several of them.

5)Something you don’t know about me is…I was in a clogging competition at Knott’s Berry Farm when I was twelve.  We were very cool

Your turn!

Thankful that I get to spend my days with this.

Thankful for the little hands.

Thankful for such a tangible example that God can  change me, if I let Him.

I know it’s silly, but there was a time when I could not handle a mess like this.

I’d let it happen, but I’d be so grumpy by the end of it, that it really wasn’t worth it.

God’s been showing me how to let go.  It’s really hard.  But so much more fun.

Here below good men have glimpses of glory to stay their sacred hunger, but the full feast awaits them in the upper skies.  Compared with this deep ineffable, eternal fullness of delight, the joys of worldlings are as a glowworm to the sun or the drop of a bucket to the ocean.

-Charles Spurgeon
