Day 56 - Monday

Monday !

I had a really busy weekend so of course, I dreaded getting up for work this morning. I asked God for help, because I really needed to go in. I had quite a bit of work on my desk to complete so I can stay on schedule and ready for another evaluation. The Lord threatened me, from out of no where I got up and got my day started. Only God could energize me enough to get through this day.

Monday helps me appreciate Saturday and Sunday so much better. After I got to work, I was productive. Again, nothing but God, keeping me focused on what I need to do. I had to run several errands after work, so I was not able to do the gym and get home by 7 :(

I had veggie sushi for lunch it was good, I tend to have it about once a week. Tomorrow I plan to leave early enough to stop at Heninen's and pick up some Amy's burritos and probably a salad.

I got home and my cousin Floyd was waiting outside for me. He had brought my mother a cd player and some christian music. My mother is weak today, and not talking much, she is dehydrating again. It seems she cannot take in enough fluids to stay hydrated. As she listened to the christian music I saw her thin, fragile arm go in the air and move around she was praising God. It touched me, sometimes I forget she is an "original christian" and a former pastor's wife. For as long as I have known her she has loved the Lord and given him the glory in her life. In my mother's sickness she holds on to God.
