A Walk of Faith

Lesson:  Have Faith

I don’t know where to begin.

I feel like so many thoughts and feelings went thru me this morning and now that I’m home to write about it, I’m not even sure what I want to write about anymore.

I feel kind of alone today.

I had a great weekend though.  Mark and I had dinner with his family on Friday.  His mom decided now that their whole family is back in town we’re going to have dinner together one night a week.  It’s a beautiful thing.  Getting together and breaking bread with the ones you love.  It’s so sweet.  I’m envious, I wish MY family could be like that, but I try really hard not to be jealous about it and just be happy that I’m also included and welcomed into their nice family.

Yesterday Mark and I went to the Preakness with my dad and his girlfriend.  We had a great time, and it’s kind of ironic because we really considered not going.  I bet on races all day and never won, but Mark won on 3 races and one Exata paid out $130!  That made the day a little extra exciting.  Then at the end we all bought matching Preakness t-shirts.  I went out the day before and bought a new dress, a hat for the horse race and new sunglasses.  You would think I have a job or something after doing all that shopping.  I have buyers remorse though and will probably end up returning the glasses even though they were only $12.99.

It was such a relief that after we got back to dad’s house from the race we only had to drive an hour home instead of the 3.5 that I’m used to.  It’s nice being closer now.

Mark has to work all day today, 9a-10:30p which I guess is why I feel lonely today.  I went to church with his family this morning and it was weird not having him there to hold my hand when we prayed together.  I don’t like that he won’t be able to come to church because of work from now on, but I guess I’ll have to get used to it. This job will only be through the summer, probably, anyways.   

Well, I might as well take a nap.  I don’t see why not….
