YES

In the midst of a chaotic week, I have managed to fit in 5 workouts, for a total of 3 hours and 45 minutes of exercise. I've even gotten up consistently at 6:15 to make it happen. And yes, I am pretty darn proud of myself right now.

So sad...

So yesterday I was giving a kid a language test. In the test you say "Tell me what ____ means." One of the words was "poor," so I asked the kid "Tell me what poor means," and he said "It means...um, that sometimes, at school....the kids....sometimes the kids at school don't wanna play with me."

It broke my heart.

Job

So one of the things I decided to do in 2011 is read through the entire Bible in a year. And I have to say, I was very thankful for Feb. 1st because I'm following a chronological reading plan and on Feb. 1st I started reading Exodus.

Although it's about oppression and deliverance, Exodus feels like rainbows and puppy dogs after reading the book of Job for the last half of January. And I have to say, I was genuinely confused with Job. It was depressing, but I am not sure I really understand it. Like who was right in what they were saying--Job? His friends? Neither? I have no idea.
