Day 233 - February 2 - Super Bowl

I'm sure many of you watched the game yesterday, and some of you probably feel like me - it would have been nice if both teams had come to the whole game, instead of just the fourth quarter. Oh, well...

We took the opportunity to have a few friends over to watch the game and share the afternoon. Connor had a good time visiting with the folks that were there, but I can say that nobody ate enough food. We've got enough leftovers to feed the 101st Airborne Division, seems like! We seem to be really good at overestimating the amount of provender it takes to sustain our guests.

I guess that makes sense - I'm pretty good at overestimating how much of God's provision I need, too. I spend a lot of my time praying for God to provide - healing, health, finances, marital assistance, understanding, patience, endurance, and the like - and I always feel like there's not enough. It seems that there's absolutely no way we can possibly make it through another day - and yet at the end of the day God has provided for every one of our needs.

And it still doesn't feel like enough. I guess I'm greedier than I thought I was.

I've got a specific prayer request for y'all this morning. Today, if I understand the schedule correctly (and it's entirely possible that I'm completely clueless here, so take me with a grain of salt), Connor's trainer is supposed to come by to work with him. While we think there's much to be gained from this therapy, any activity like this is hard work, which a) isn't nearly as fun as doing something else, and b) takes up a lot of time. We want to stay motivated and pursue these work-outs as diligently as we can, but there's always something else vying for the time and attention. For Connor, it's tiring and so it's easy to put off. For Cherié and I, it takes time that we often feel we don't have, plus it's physically demanding for us as well, so we too find it easy to postpone. I don't want us to do that, so my request is that you would be praying for the right motivators for all of us so that we stay on track and pursue the gains that can be had from this course of therapy.

Please be praying for all of us this week. We've got some decisions to be made on top of our usual routines. We really need some wisdom around here as we decide the direction we need to go, so your prayers are very much appreciated.
