Mid May is peeking her head around the corner, not so sure months have genders…hahah, so thought I’d better review April before I’m behind 2 months. As I’ve said in previous posts I am writing about each month so when New Year’s Eve 2012 rolls around I can look back and see in black and white what happened. My 50 yro brain is…well…50.
I left NY the end of March to spend spring break with my mom and sisters in Iowa, but not before we celebrated Justin’s 25th birthday. He’s a quarter century old and I’m half a century. I think I will stick with 25 and 50.
This was taken today, Mother’s Day. Where does a mother’s love come from? Words fail me when it comes to my love for my babies. Dumb question right? God has given me a love that I cannot explain.
The first week of April was spent with my sisters and their families as they had track meets and school events. We found time to explore Iowa, minus children and had a great time dipping in and out of antique shops, historical areas and outlet mall shopping. Love those out of the way country roads. I made my way back to NY on Good Friday night in time to celebrate the resurrection of my Lord on Easter with my Lafayette family and friends.
The next week Lauren and I were on spring break and Rob took off on a jet plane with friends from church to go to Together for the Gospel in Louisville. Rob shared with me one of the messages preached by David Platt,
Divine Sovereignty: The Fuel of Death Defying Missions this video is an hour and a half long message but one of the best I’ve ever heard on the subject of missions and time well spent listening to it.
Lauren had a 4 day soccer camp that she went to with her girlfriend, so I time to read(in this month, not the week)
- The Hunger Games
- The Wisdom of God by Nancy Guthrie
- The Works of Thomas Watson, an ongoing project
My Bible is never far as I have a hard copy I keep with me most of the time and have Bibles on my Iphone and Kindle Fire. If I’m going to own these gadgets then I want to make sure I use them for God’s glory, helping me to always set my mind on things above.
The month ended with spending an overnight with 7 women from our church at our Spring Refresh Women’s Conference. What a delight to be in a conference with women who love God and are not afraid to express their adoration to Him. I came away refreshed.
Because of illness and weather I was not able to walk as much but found time to log 35 miles.
