Day Two

I took an hour nap today! It was so nice sitting in the chair with the sunlight coming in, there was no way that I could resist! Other than my wonderful nap today, my day was fairly uneventful. Got some emails sent out, ate some Southwest Quinoa salad. Now I am at the Schenk's watching the kids. They are all so adorable and lovable! Read them each a Disney story before they went to sleep. Zoe wanted Mickey Mouse, Zane and Aidan got to hear a part of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and a part of Mulan. Nothing like a good ole Disney story! My favorite was always Beauty and the Beast :) Anyway I am listening to some hymns done country style and reading When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor...and Yourself by Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett. It has been really good so far. There is a lot to what they are saying. I would recommend it to anyone who is working in the ministry...and anyone in general. This morning in my personal Bible study I was reading Titus and thought I would share what I feel to be a very powerful verse. "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ or Savior, so that having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." Titus 3: 5-7. I just think it is so incredible the price He paid for sinners like us. That He gives us hope when there are so many times we feel hopeless. Well, that was a little long winded but oh well :)
