Phil Hudson (the president of NMSI) gave me this book and said I really think you’ll get a lot out of this. So I’ve been reading Henri Nouwen’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son” for the past 2 months. I’m a really quick reader except for a few writers that force me to slow down and chew on what they’re saying. It’s taken me 2 months but I’ll finish tonight! I’ve chewed on accepting reaccepting my sonship as the younger son and realizing that I must become like a child again. I’ve chewed on that I’m the elder son and that I’ve harden my heart so much that I can’t see the father pleading me to come home. Finally, I’m chewing on the fact that I must be the father and reach out my hands to forgive, console, heal, and celebrate others.
On a lighter note tonight is T-ra’s birthday dinner and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve made Sour Cream Enchiladas…we’ll have an awesome salad…green beans and spice cake…I love cooking for people!!! Birthdays to me are a big deals…it a day to celebrate you and who God has made you to be! Then we’re going to Ice Age 2…excited but know it won’t be as good as the first one was! It will be a fun night I think. Other than that no other weekend plans…ahhh sweet freedom!
Ohh and I finally thought and am dealing with my car being deathly ill. I believe she’ll go under the knife next weekend. Pray for her speedy recovery.
