I'm am getting so excited for our trip away. Yesterday I went for my pedicure that I've been saving since my birthday. I received a GC from my in-laws (they know me so well) and this was just the perfect time to use it. I waxed my eyebrows today and tomorrow I will do some more beautifying things that you don't need to know about.

I really should start packing... but it seems like the older I get.. the older the kids get, the less I feel like packing. There is just so much to pack! But at least I can break it into two. The girls are going to the in-laws and I will pack for them first. Then after we drop the girls off, I will come home and finish packing for us.


On a completely different topic... Trevor and I have been reading our Bible together. Not everyday, but more often than before. I want to read my Bible. I want to get close to Jesus. I want Him to be my best friend. But the things I want to do, I don't.

Romans 7:18-19
And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.

I know that I don't know everything. God has new things to teach me. But I just feel like when I read the Bible, there's nothing new there. It's a horrible feeling because I know that's not true. I know that's a lie and I better start treating it as such.

My enemy is constantly telling me lies. He knows I'm susceptible. I need to stop listening to him. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Of course my enemy doesn't want me to get closer to God. Then I won't listen to his lies so easily.

God help me. Draw me close to You. Help me feel that hunger for You.
