Tomorrow we have lifting at 1:00 p.m. and then practice in the afternoon. Our next game is Saturday, so we have a few more days of practice. Today we had practice, but we did a lot of shooting and some running. It was a good practice to ease back into things. I finished unpacking this morning which wasn't too hard to do, because I packed pretty light. This evening I did a load of laundry and then hung out with Tanja a little bit and got dinner.
I want to give a shout out to my sisters. They officially moved today to Ohio. They had been bouncing back and forth the past few weeks getting things done where they will be living, but today they made the trip to Ohio and will not be coming back to Lynchburg for awhile. It is going to be weird this summer with my sisters not being around, but I have a feeling I will be visiting them some.
I also want to give a shout out to Caleb. He started his student teaching today and will be teaching this whole semester. Hope you have an awesome semester ahead!
My parents also started back teaching today after having a couple of weeks off from school for Christmas break. I guess it is time that we all get back into the swing of things. Kind of like how I had to get back to work myself today :)!!
Have a great week ahead everyone!
January 7th - "Jesus Calling"
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK ME TOO MUCH. As it is written, I inhabit the praises of My people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured—an act of your will. I dwell equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near to me. A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.
When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of My Presence.
"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
