It’s Wednesday of vacation week. We’re having a great week as a fam and with the Haley’s. We’ve spent most of our time at the beach but the evenings we’ve been watching the Olympics and movies together with cups of hot Starbucks coffee. The caffeine has convinced me to hold to late hours. I’ve been catching up my facebook and working on getting all my camp pix up. I’ve taken a bunch of awesome pictures of us on the beach. I figured out how to do the multiple fast picture setting and we took some fabulous shots of us doing the long jump on the beach. Mom even did it!
I’ve been getting up when I wake up – not early – and reading my favorite book on the deck. Psalm 119 is officially my favorite chapter of the Word. I’ve been so encouraged and simultaneously convicted and challenged by David’s own personal conviction and love for the truth of the Word. As the power of the Word infiltrates my soul, I discover a Spirit-given desire not to just acquire holiness but to pursue it. I also read Isaiah 1 and 2 and decided to study out idolatry. I need to understand the depth and seriousness of that sin. It’s one I struggle with. I do struggle with it because I now REFUSE to give in to it. I will not allow anything to preempt my desire for Christ and Christlikeness.
Well, we’re headed out to an outlet and then to the beach. I may post more later.
