Over the weekend we went floating the river!! My sister, Mikey, and I went and it was very fun. I'll have to admit I was incredibly nervous about going because I burn SO easily, but I DIDN'T!!
However, my sister did, badly.
We made the 6 mile trip down the river in a little over 4 hours and stopped and helped one guy with a dislocated shoulder. Ew, that's all I can say. There are some crazy people on the river, mainly because there were HEAVY drinkers there.
We survived the trip minus 1 towel, 2 lost sunglasses, almost 1 flip flop (recovered), and on the drive home my (favorite) pair of sunglasses were found to be broken :(.
Pictures to follow.
I started a new reading plan for the Bible today. It's the 100 Essentials plan on Youversion.com
I'm hoping that I can refocus my drive to know Jesus more with a little guidance, seeing as how I can't seem to do it on my own.
Today's Readings: Genesis 1 and 2
I've already read those many times before but this time, after praying that my heart is open to receive God's message, I had a renewed vigor to understand what God did at the beginning of the world.
I also did some cleaning out of my earthly possessions yesterday. At church they talked about the "toxic" influences you can find in the world (mainly through media outlets). It got me thinking about all the bad movies we have in our home (Kill Bill, Good Luck Chuck, and Waiting to name a few), we never watch them but there they are sending out bad messages to us and our son. So, out they go. I'm only keeping ones that have good messages to them, or ones we really like (hey, I can't give away ALL of our entertainment, I'd go into withdrawal). It's all about one step at a time. We'll get there.
