Today I was so exhausted I didn't want to do anything...It's days like these I wonder if I grew or learned anything. Probably not. I just wanted to sleep all day but of course that is a dream. So it's almost ten and I think I'll finally get my shut eye. Now the question remains to sleep in or swim at 6 am. It is so tempting in this dreary, grey,rainy winter to just stay in bed and forget my resolution to feel great-but I can't. I'll swim.
Whenever I get into the pool, I start at the deep end. I dive in and swim as fast as I can to get warm quicker. I can't help the huge smile and sometimes giddy laughter that I experience every time I do this. I love to swim. Immediately I feel free and relaxed. It is one of my most favorite things to do. I swim kid laps now. In sets of five, I swim a lap for Greg, then a lap for Shelby , then Rachel, then Danielle, and Justin is my fifth. Then I start over, repeating this 5 times. Each lap I pray for this child and think of them. It really helps me keep track of laps and I get to pray for each child as well. Last swim I prayed the prayer of Jabez for each kid.
I will not be bored tomorrw. I will seek to hear from God better. Enjoy my kids better. And beat myself up less for not accomplishing everthing on my agenda. So onto tomorrow.
