Still Up, Not At'em

Well, it WAS a long day. Good thing is that the day was productive. I managed to get everything done today that was on the agenda I mentioned earlier. I was even able to remain faithful to my new goal to go to the gym all but one day out of the week. So, I got back from the gym about two hours ago and have been sitting on the couch, watching Godfather (undoubtedly my favorite "secular" film), and enjoying the "spunk" of my family. They really are great. It is just another reminder of why I am doing this all in the first place. Of course, I look forward to every opportunity to equip and position myself for kingdom work and advancement. But, I am also motivated, determined, and focused on effecting a better future for my family. They are so worth it... I got sidetracked, in more ways than one for a few years, but God has me "in the zone." I love what He's doing with, in, and through me. Thank you Lord for deciding to use me. So... I'm still up, but figured these moments with those I love the dearest is well worth the time. So, no "At'em" tonight. The books are on the coffee table, the homework is in the backpack, the laptop is still in the bag. As Scarlet O'Hara would say, "I can't think about those things now, I will have to deal with that tomorrow."
