Time with God

I was chatting with my friend Ruth today online, and we both were talking about how we want to be more committed to reading scripture and praying on a daily basis. Ruth mentioned that struggling to do this is evidence of spiritual warfare, and it is real! I have to agree..I have been convicted lately that I am not as diligent about this as I would hope, and that I often fail in making time for my God. In thinking about what Ruth said, I realized that I can easily become frustrated with myself because I am not spending enough quality time with God. But I know that God does not want me to feel ashamed or condemned. Instead, He wants me to spend some time with Him because He loves me! And I also know that He wants me to find my JOY in Him alone!!!

Right after our conversation, I came across this prayer in a book that I am reading:

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me...
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
And sustain me with a willing spirit.
Psalm 51: 10,12

God, I love you and YOU are my joy!! Thank you for my amazing husband too!

updates!

My beautiful wife got a haircut yesterday - it's called a "bob" - right babe?

Well, whatever it's called, it looks REALLY CUTE! I told her she is gonna get a ton of compliments about it at work today.

Lea made spaghetti on Wednesday, oh my gosh the sauce was so good, let me tell you. YUMMY!

Let's see, what's new. Lea's mom and sisters came out last week, it was really fun! We played games, mini golf, go carts, went to Organ Stop Pizza :-), remembered 24 cards from the storybook game (although I don't know why the tiger was wearing socks), went to the park, played Wii, and just had a darn good time. I'm sure we'll be posting pics before too long - we got some good ones!

In law school news, here's the latest.
