Self Check-in

How are you?

I had become so tuned out of myself that I forgot to ask, forgot to stop and think and say, so how am I really?

I just got back from a weekend in Chattanooga. We were all so ill but we still insisted on leaving Atlanta. And in our own way we got a little breather for Easter and some very good memories we can pocket away. For me, it was getting my first Coach bag and being able to treat my family on occasion without feeling the pinch in my pocket. This represents a great difference from the last time we went to Chattanooga.

I am a little worried but God says: do not worry. I was so ill yesterday I could not believe how ill I was. But I got better, I suppose that's something I have to look forward to in life, that after the storm you shall indeed conquer. What's most important is that another week awaits. Another week of traffic, alarms, traffic, pollen, and just me. And for the first time I am not afraid of the work, it's my skill at it that's most disturbing.

Dear God I thank you for your mercies, your bountiful blessings and your infinite goodness. I thank You for everything you've done to my life, for restoring my faith in You and my belief in my ability to rise above everything. Please grant that I have a good week O Lord, help me to think, work and be by Your Holy Grace. Protect me from all evil and lead me safely O Lord, and I thank You, my family thanks You and the bottom of my heart thanks You for a blessed vacation. Thank You for your provisions this day, this week and always, Amen.
