Weekly update

Apparently, rather than a few times a week, I now post once a week... better than nothing, right? This past weekend Jeremy and I attended Lasting Flame Marriage Seminar held in Wayne County. The speakers were Steve and Annie Chapman. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. They were funny, easy to listen to, and made good points without shoving it all down your throat. There was a date night on Saturday. Jeremy and I went putt-putt golfing, ate supper at Jake's, and had dessert at Dairy Queen. There were a few things I appreciated that they said:
1) If you want to love like you used to love, then do what you used to do. It was a good reminder to continue to put forth effort in your relationship
2) We are in a divine duet with God. He will do his part and we need to do ours.
3) Work to out serve your spouse. Find a way to share their interests. They sang a neat song about a couple where the chorus had lines like, "It may look like nascar, but it feels like love" and "it may look like dancing, but it feels like love" In other words, doing things outside of what you enjoy, feels like love to your spouse because you took time to do something they enjoy.

This week has gone by quickly. It is already Wednesday evening. I would like to ask for prayer before it gets too late. My Grandpa (my dad's dad) had a stroke earlier this week. He and his wife live in Kansas. My dad and his siblings are working to make decisions about what the next steps may be. Grandpa is paralyzed from the stroke on his right side and his esophagus isn't working. So, there are definite issues to work through. Pray for Grandpa (Sam is his name) that he may feel God's peace even when he may feel lost in his own body. Also, pray for those making decisions. I hope everyone has a good end to their week.
