Quiet Evenings

Just here sitting with Bobby as he downloads music onto his IPod and I switch between Words with Friends (my newest addiction) and reading a really GREAT book on iBooks (The Fountainhead). As you can tell, I am loving my iPad! Lol. It's Cinco de Mayo week and my week is totally absorbed with 30+ pinatas and getting them ready to take to the Crockett\Gateway elementary students! I also have 6 classroom fiestas to get taken care of this week! Fun but sometimes exhausting.

I am about to do my weights especially since I just had this amazing Snickers ice cream bar! It was pure heaven! I will also be doing running in the morning. I just love running and the therapy that it gives me. Spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Bobby says I keep too many things in and I think he is correct. Running coupled with my quiet time gives me the outlet for these bottled up emotions. He says I don't like confrontation so I usually just keep quiet. Once again, he is correct. I can usually go 2-3 days without running and/or quiet time before I go crazy. Ha ha. Funny but very true. Anna and I had a heated argument last night and I know it was because I was tired, stressed, and hadn't exercised nor had my quiet time. I thank God we were able to forgive eachother but I am also pained that it caused hurt between us. God is merciful and is growing me and showing me how to control all of these haywire emotions. During last nights Crosspoint "Engage" concert, God showed me that the human heart truly is a deceitful thing and one that easily lends itself to sin and darkness - just
like Conrad's literary book, "Heart of Darkness". Only through my ever closeness to my Saviour do I have hope in conquering my sinful nature.
