General thoughts on today
Main highlight of today was having Cristyn’s girls over after school for an hour. Isaac always enjoys having people over, even if he’s often not the best host, but they all had fun drawing Pokémon balls that open to show their favourite Pokémon (Charmander, Squirtle and of course Pikachu). All while feeding them on chocolate and squash - which we all promised not to tell Cristyn about :) …with Steph keeping Alys entertained…which she loved doing, such a smiley baby.
Also we had a visit at Isaac’s school, partly as a welcome to year 6 and partly to run through the week he has away in October. Outward bounds adventuring - I hope he loves it.
I’m also going to try and keep this Journaling to a specific topic each week. More to try and make some headway on a few of the ideas I have…it’s easy to get put by not knowing where to start. I did think about going back to my blogging days and having a topic per day but I think changing it to a week will allow me to get into a topic in more depth. I’ll still keep these going as notes on the day.
Work
Continues to tick over. Alex is back from holiday so it was good to have him help out with a few chases. Also I found out that Jacqui Chub is working in Data Protection which means I’ll probably need her advice from time to time. It was good to connect and she’s now in Pembs as well.
Exercise
Mainly walking - too and from school. Which Isaac didn’t complain about! He’s been a delight today and was really good with the girls when they came over and was the perfect host getting them drinks and snacks. I even offered for him to have his Xbox back for the evening as a reward and he said no - I’ll save it for another evening (super proud!).
Prayer
Reading
Today was John 10:11
11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His own life for the sheep.
Thoughts
The fourth of the memorable “I am” statements. For me this sets out a promise from Jesus as our sovereign and the example that all leaders should aspire to. He will (and did) sacrifice his own life for the good of us (his flock). If you are committed and invested in people then you put yourself in danger to save them. It’s core to what happened on the cross and central to how we should aspire to be.
Prayers
So today is all about finding Jesus in my Prayer List. Hoping that all those without faith (for a variety of reasons) come to know and trust in the Lord like I do. It still surprises me sometimes that I do…funny how life works out and paths find their destination.
