Wow...It's been a while. There have been so many new things in our lives. We bought a house. Now, all three of the boys are in school everyday- all day. That's been a bit of a tough adjustment for all of us. Jordan still cries almost every morning, but I- and I'm thinking positively here- think it's getting better. He does like school, he just doesn't like the going part. I usually do a really quick hug and kiss and bolt out the door. I figure it's like a band-aid...If you rip it off fast it doesn't hurt quite as bad. Preston is a big smarty-pants. I don't think they'll let him skip ahead to fourth grade, but he's waaaaay ahead of all of the other kids in his class. He's bored, or so he says. Aaron Levi is reading. I could not be prouder. It was a really hard decision to let him repeat kindergarten, but I do think it was for the best. Now, he's one of the oldest kids in his class instead of the youngest, and I think he'll be at the top of his class now, instead of struggling to catch up. So, there's the kids...
Life has been- well, let's just say I sat staring at the computer screen for a full three minutes trying to raid my mental thesarus and find a word to describe life lately. I got a great haircut the other night. If you live in Broken Arrow or the surrounding area, you should try Forever Young Salon. I highly recommend it. I haven't been feeling well lately. Nothing in particular, but everything in general. I'm blaming it on the fact that cold weather is just around the corner, but I know it probably has more to do with my 1 1/2 hour commute (each way) and my diet and exercise habits of late. My exercise habits, you see, have been practically non-existent lately. Driving nearly 3 hours a day and working for up to 10 makes for a tired, unmotivated Adrienne in the evening. I am looking for a job closer to home, so if you live in the Grand Lake area and know of anything, please let me know. I think I'll quit my job Monday. In an effort to off-set all of this, I have decided to institute a new plan. I'll try it for a couple of weeks and then let everyone know how it's going.
Love is always good. But there are different kinds and tonight I choose to focus on the God-kind. I'm glad that He loves me, though I am unlovable. He is my peace when my world is in shambles. He calms my mind and heals my heart. He makes me to rise on the wings of eagles and shelters me when I am weary. He gives me comfort. His love is perfect. He sees me, knows me, understands me, and loves me still. One moment in His presence is worth more than life...and there have been days when I wish I could see Him face to face. One touch and I am healed. All that I want is to rest at His feet; His love is better than all my life. Though people fail, and they will- they're only people, He will never fail, He will never disappoint, He will never turn away. There is no fear in His love.
So...Friends, take comfort and be strengthened. His love is who He is.
