Well, the new Quiet Times start on Sunday! Call my Dad to get yours ASAP...

Todays Quiet Time was immediately convicting for me. Malachi 2:6 was the verse that stood out the most..."True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many back from iniquity."

I won't go into all the details, but last night I went and ran the lake with a friend (which has been awesome...I ran it without stopping -except to let the dogs do their thing- for the first time ever and did it in pretty good time-for me-I wouldn't have done this without her prodding, I mean, encouragement) Anyway, I woke up this morning to have my QT and as I read I knew right away that some of my words last night running with her weren't right...I felt so horrible because I love this friend so much and right now, the thing she needs most is someone walking with her who is walking closely with Christ and living like HIM. She needs to see how pure and holy and beautiful and loving and trustworthy He is.

So I learned this morning how important it is to keep our mouth's full of truth and righteousness if we want to "turn many back from iniquity". This will not be accomplished in my own strength. That is for sure....I've been reading Isaiah 40:28-31 a lot lately...if it's been awhile, please look it up soon and really think it through. It's been great for me.

Austin is doing well in school...he's got 2 days under his belt and seems to be enjoying it. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his classroom...I don't get all the details I want...
