Back to work!

I'm kind of glad to be back to work. I'm not a big fan of the 4th of July. It never seems to be a good time for me. For the last 8-10 years I have always had a bad 4th, so I have gotten to the point that i just avoid the holiday all together. It was nice having the day off yesterday, but I just worked in the yard and stayed close to home. I stopped going to the fireworks a few years ago and I usually avoid cookouts too. There was actually a pretty good show in my neighborhood that I could see from my house.

I have Bible study tonight and I'm looking forward to it. We have changed it from once a week to bi-weekly for the summer and I am starting to miss it. I used to meet with a couple of girls on Sunday at Starbucks and we have stopped doing that months ago. There hasn't been much going on with the young adult group either it seems. All those things help keep me accountable and keep my thinking on track. Without them I have been slacking off on my own quiet time and Bible study. I just realized that it felt like something was missing in my life and I think that is probably what I am missing. I am making a promise to myself to get back into the habit of Bible study and quiet time every night before bed. It fills me with such a sense of peace and contentment. It's so easy to get busy with life and stop taking time to slow down and really think about the important things in life.
