Sometimes I get in these streaks where I sleep only 3-4 hours a pop and get up. I have no reason why. I have plenty of time alloted for sleeping, I just find myself awake and doing stuff.
My mind stays to active.
Today I read in "So You Wanna Follow Christ" by Charles Swindoll about simplicity and taking those things out of your life that only add more stress. Not every space has to be filled in your planner despite what my job tells me. So I am have vowed to myself to start weeding out what I do not need and hold on to the truly valuable.
First things first -- putting God first. I don't do this enough. I don't read my bible enough. I certainly don't pray enough. I realized today that I give God only my free moments when I am ready instead of offering the best and first of everything.
God has humbled me so much today that I cannot begin to paint it with words.
My faith has fallen short.
I learned a lesson about faith today.
My girl, Ava, is my wife reincarnate. She's fearless, inquisitive, and wonderfully focused when she wants something. She climbed our stairs while my wife was cleaning up from dinner.
Ava fell down everyone of them.
Its hard for me to be thousands of miles away from her and not be able to pick her up and have to read about this in an email.
I have faith in my wife because, no offense to the other mothers, she is the ninja of all mothers out there. But ultimately, I have to have faith in God to protect them because from here....my hands are tied.
God comes first, faith comes first and must be complete. Some of you are saying "Duh Adam, gosh!". Sorry , Im a little headstrong....
God bless all of you on this Sunday....
