Days 35 and 36

No special title today.

Yesterday I spent the day cleaning and vacuuming out my truck and performing other household chores. I'm always amazed at the number of stray Cherrios and Skittles that make their way underneath car seats, underneath the leather truck seats, and into cup holders. But it's now clean (on the inside, anyway) and smelling fresh(er). :)

Last night, my husband and I watched the Christian-based movie, "Fireproof." It's how to save a marriage. It was good...but really, I thought unrealistic. Personally, I think "Boundaries in Marriage" might be better to put into a movie somehow. Because the couple on Fireproof had obviously not established boundaries...which is what led to their near-demise.

Anyhow, today is Sunday and I'm going to take my youngest two girls to a new church. I have been prayerfully considering a new church for a while now. Tried a few out and even thought I'd found my new church home. But the church we've been attending doesn't have much in the way of middle-school-aged activities. And this new church we're going to try out today has a HUGE selection of toddler, elementary, middle-school and high-school aged activities. They also have something called AWANA for the children. Years ago, I used to take my two older girls to this activity. I know there are lots of activities and lots of ways to learn. I just know that my poor girls have been out of a church activity for over two years now, and it's time to get them involved once again.

My husband could care less. I think I've mentioned before that he's not saved. Well, he did say some sort of prayer about 12 years ago...but really no life changes evident, so basically, he is a nonbeliever. Doesn't read his Bible, doesn't pray except the same memorized prayer for dinnertime. He doesn't pray about his day, or for God's guidance...or for our marriage, for that matter. No, my husband flies by the seat of his pants daily. I can't imagine life like that. But wasn't I just there mself for a few years? That's the pot calling the kettle black, for sure.

So today we're trying out this new church and I pray that I would feel welcomed, that my children would feel loved and that we would all feel God's guidance to this new church...or not!

But I'm getting closer, I can feel it. An excitement that builds in my soul that I don't quite understand...
