Weekend Reflection

This has been an awesome week! I can't even count the blessings I've received from God this past week! Father's Day was a turning point for me, after a lot of prayer and a lot of study in The Word! I posted last week on the gift I would be giving my husband for Father's Day and that gift turned out to be, probably the best gift I could have given him - but also a gift to me!

I have a great husband and even though I have always known that, I have not always shown him that I knew it. In asking his forgiveness for my attitude and behavior during our marriage and committing to him that I now, with God's guidance, will be transforming myself into the wife God intended me to be, I have been blessed beyond measure!

We have talked more together, we have spent time together, good time together and we have prayed together. We have always been committed to our marriage knowing that we would be together until death, but being committed and "walking in a love relationship" are very different. I believe this week (after 18 years) is a turning point for both of us and I know we are on track with God's plan for us.

Chance has been gone a week, on vacation with his best friend and family. We have talked to him several times and he's having a good time. This is an awesome family and I know that he is in the care of a family who takes him in just like he belonged to them, loving him and sharing with him the characteristics that are also important to Jody and me. I never worry about him when he's with them.

My job continues to be a place that I really enjoy! The women I work with are caring, positive women and my boss is a blessing from God! She genuinely cares about all of us and shows us that each and every day. Our job is very demanding with deadlines on everything! Our job is critical to the work done at the hospital by the medical practitioners, and because of that D knows that we work hard each day to accomplish the tasks set before us and rewards us for work well done. It may be nothing more than a "thank you" or it may be allowing us to leave a few minutes early on Friday afternoon. Whatever it is, it's always appreciated.

I had been invited to lunch on Thursday with a good friend of mine, but had to postpone our meeting until Monday because of a project I was working on that, of course, had to be completed that same day! We will now be meeting for lunch on Monday and I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't seen her in a couple of months, so it will be fun to catch up on all the news of her family!

Jody and I went to together (another "new" activity) the other night and stopped at Mardel - my favorite store - and I found one of the Daily Dieter's Devotional book that Annie has been posting on her site. I thought we weren't going to find it, but just as we got ready to leave the store, I found it! I was so excited! I have been enjoying each day's devotional on Annie's site, but I really wanted one of my own to carry with me to read at times of temptation. Annie had said she would get one for me, but this way she can save it and give it to someone else who may not have access to one. Thank you, Annie, for posting and for the offer of the book.

Well, that's pretty much my week in review! It was a great week and I'm ready for the new week to begin tomorrow! Visit Judi, who hosts the Weekend Reflection for details on posting you own reflection.
