Day 13 began early - another 4:30 a.m. wake up. I considered going out for my long run, but elected against it. A bear ran across the road on my four-mile-run route last night after Ryan's soccer practice. I think I may just stay in my neighborhood for a while. I watched some television and had breakfast. One of my favorite breakfasts I enjoyed as a child was rice krispies with blueberries. I don't often have it because I rarely eat cereal, but the blueberries are so fresh this summer, how could I not? I managed to fall back asleep.
I also weighed in this morning. Part of me was concerned that my margarita last night would jeopardize all of my hard work, but I was pleased to know that I'm less than one-half of a pound away from my two-week goal of 5 pounds. I believe it will be easier to stay on track for the rest of the weekend. I completed another round of Kenpo X - what a fun workout and I'm more coordinated this week than I was last week. I'm sure that will continue to improve as well.
Today is the first day of soccer games for the kids. Luckily both games are in our hometown, so we don't have to travel very far. Both kids played well and started their respective seasons with a win. It was really hot and one of the team members suffered heat exhaustion. I feel badly that Kat's team won't have any subs for todays game since two girls are on vacation and she is being baptized.
Ryan is spending the night with a friend so Mark and I will have some alone time with Kat tonight to talk about her baptism tomorrow. Jesus said "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven." I'm really proud of both Mark and Kat for choosing to be baptized. I think back to when I first started attended church in our old home town, and all those services I attended alone while he stayed home and slept. I thank God for answered prayer. One of the greatest and most challenging things I ever did was taking my hands off of Mark's relationship with God and allowed Him to do what He wanted with Mark. God's way is always better than our way. I'm grateful for his blessings.
"I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart I will tell of all your wonderful deeds." Psalm 9:1.
