This week: I’ve had the flu, missed two days of work, missed working on my Master Life for 3 days, and spent the rest of the week trying to catch up on everything. Wouldn’t call it my best week of life, but I sure would say that I learned from it. For the first time in my adult life, I found myself craving time with my Master. I wanted to read His word and engage in learning scripture and learning more about myself so that I can be a disciple of Him. Even when I was sick and aching and cold with fever, I had God right there in my heart and mind. Today’s sermon for Palm Sunday was wonderful, and I rededicated my life to Christ at church.

I feel a renewed sense of spirit, mind and body. I know that I will still make many mistakes in my daily walk, and a while ago, I would have just given up on myself. I have finally learned, after 25 years of being a worldly Christian, how to be a Spiritual one. I know that when I fail, no mistake is too great for Christ to wipe clean. I have to just “get back on the wagon,” so to speak.

Scott and I are working on the fruits of the spirit this week and throughout our walk. We are learning how to react when a spontaneous emotion hits us. “The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Against these there is no law.” (Galations 5:22-23) This morning, I was feeling grumpy and tired, and Scott asked me if I’d like a piece of fruit! HA! I probably needed more than one.

Maggie is doing well at school, and I’m so proud at how well she is doing in math. She is doing 1st and 2nd grade mathematics, and she is working on phonics for reading. She’s taking an art class on Tues and Thurs at her school, and she’s becoming a regular little Picasso. 🙂 These are the pictures of her artwork above. She hunted eggs tonight at Kids for Christ, and she had to find all the eggs that spelled JESUS. She had fun, but is still not very interested in singing in the children’s musical. I’m hoping that gets better when she can actually read the words to the music.

We are going to start swimming lessons soon, so that I won’t freak out everytime she gets in the water this summer, like I did last summer. I’m looking forward to summer craft days at the library with her, and our yearly mother-daughter overnight trip to Galveston and Moody Gardens. Can’t wait to see what the summer holds for us.
