Day 15.
More listening. Have taken the 10 minute listen challenge and it is HARD to listen. Continuing to be open to what this can do in my life...it is definitely not natural for me. Need to be on the computer less so off I go.

Day 9
New game plan.
Actually no plan. Just have pretty much been blowing it and finding I need to take Paul's words to heart.
"Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy...think on these things."
True: I am loved.
Noble: I am a queen?! Hmm...that's a strange one.
Right...
Ok the specifics of this are harder than I thought. I do know this...there is lots to be thankful for.

Day 4 & 5
Spent last night at my team Christmas party and today doing life. So I'm combining. (I can break my own rules that's the beauty.)
1. Connected with God by literally "casting my burdens" on Him. Saw burdens removed instantly.
2. Connected with Aidan by cleaning up his room with him, Mikey by holding his foot in the car, and Jeremy by cuddling a little more than usual.
3. Gave my team their Christmas gifts. Made them Christmas CDs and was bold in my faith. Excited to see what God is gonna do. Expectant.

Day 3
Pretty much blew it today. Not intentional but more reactionary.
Barely this..
1. Prayed a lot of breath prayers to get me through the moments of exhaustion.
2. Held Aidan's hand and cuddled with him. Watched the Office with Jeremy while it broadcasted. ( A big deal if you don't have Tivo.)
3. Gave encouragement to my co-worker who feels like he isn't making a difference. Gave grace to a student who didn't have supplies. Gave time to help Aidan get cleaned up when everything in me had nothing left to give and needed to sleep.

Day 2
1. Read My Utmost for His Highest and was struck with some awesome words on obedience and being open to God using us.
2. Connected with Micah by sitting on the stairs with him and eating some pizza rather than running around like a crazy person putting stuff away.
3. Gave to Jeremy by trying to scrape his windshield before I left for work since he had to park outside due to Christmas decorations in the garage. Too bad it kept snowing :)

Day 1
1. Connected with God in some heartfelt specific prayer. Listened. And new things were revealed to me about the work that He has done in me this fall. Hard to explain but God gets it.
2. Connected with Aidan by taking the time to fill his stocking tonight (with stuff from around the house) after he went to bed. So very important to him and I can so easily get caught up in what is important to me.
3. Gave encouragement to a coworker who was feeling guilty that she wasn't doing more this year with all the big ideas she wanted to implement. (She literally said, "I need to confess to somebody..." ) Reminded her that we have limits on what we can do and that God created us that way. Couldn't have told her that if I wasn't learning it myself right now.
