Faith

I've been reading through the Bible, starting in the Old Testament, and reading a chapter of Proverbs every day. And sometimes I'll read something from the new testament as well. Anyways, I'm not in Esther, and I gotta say, she is definitely an inspiration. She was strong, courageous, wise, and had extreme faith. I mean, seriously, who would barge into the king's court, knowing that they'd most likely get killed? That takes guts. And Proverbs is all about wisdom and folly. Esther just seemed to always have the right thing to say. I wish I could be like that. It just shows that there's so much growing I have ahead of me. I just have to remember Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Always something to think about.

Well, the second full day with Becca was nice. She woke up, played, went outside for a bit, took a nap on the couch, woke up and played for a bit longer and went outside again (she just loves the sun and the heat!), went back up and took another nap, and then was downstairs after that. There were moments during the day when time seemed to go by super slowly, but overall the day went by pretty fast. I even took her on a bike ride later in the day, which she loved!! And now my butt hurts. There's something about bicycle seats that just aren't comfortable at all. It was a good day. I got some more sunshine and reading into my day :) These two weeks aren't gonna fly by, but at the same time I don't think they'll drag on either. They'll go by at a nice pace, I'm hoping. Maybe we'll go swimming tomorrow...hmm.

There were a couple times today when my patience was tested, and I know I have some more stuff to work on. And faith is definitely at the top of my list.

That's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin.
