I had the best weekend I've had in quite a long time.  I thank God for it.  I do.  Friday night Mark asked me if i wanted to meet him and Chloe and grab dinner.  I said OK, but I felt so tired.  The entire week last week was just really exhausting.  I didn't do anything major, I'm just tired and felt a bit overwhelmed.  Ok, alot overwhelmed.  But Friday Mark has straightened the house up, and was determined to do everything he could to make my weekend great, and he succeeded.  Saturday morning I could've slept late, but Chloe's alarm for school went off and woke me, but that was fine.  Just to know I didn't have to go anywhere or do anything was great.  Rebekah was going to come over to spend the night with Chloe, and Holly called sort of last minute and asked about she and I taking all the girls to see a movie and maybe dinner.  We did.  It was just a great night.  Holly and I haven't really hung out in a while, and it was great.  She asked me what I'd learned most about everything I've been through lately.  I told her I thought lessons on forgiving.  But later on I though more about it, and realized another lesson I've learned is on trials and struggles.  I used to think in life we just went from struggle to struggle to struggle, and that was life.  But I now believe that God's plan is struggles that he delivers us from, trials with Him and answers for life heartache and pain.  I'm not suggesting everything in my life will always turn out the way I want it to, but I trust now that if it's in God's plan it's the best for my life.  So Sat. night was fun to be with my BFF, and then got home and Mark had went to the store per my list and bought some groceries.  He was a real sweetie the entire weekend, and I'm telling you not only did I notice, I felt like queen for the weekend, and very cared for, and it meant so much. 

Last night's Vision was very interesting and very good.  My lesson took some unexpected twists and turns that I wasn't prepared for, but really has given my some topics to prepare for.  I now know how Roger must feel when someone asks him an out of the blue question, other than I'm sure he can answer much better and quicker than I can.

My lesson was on choosing sides.

I Chronicles 12:16-18 16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, "If you have come to me in peace, to help me, I am ready to have you unite with me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you." 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:   "We are yours, O David! 
We are with you, O son of Jesse!  Success, success to you, and success to those who help you,   for your God will help you."  So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands

David was basically drawing the battle lines, and forcing these men to decide. I had bring up something I'd read a few chapters earlier, I Chronicles 10:13  Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance. I think there's alot of this going on, well any is too much.  We toy around with new age junk, and call it a gray area.  Not. The bottom line is committment.  You can't be on both teams.  You're either on the team of Jesus or you're not.  It's that simple, even though it seems complicated.  He's our coach.  He tells us our position and which plays we will make.  Choose your team today.  But keep in mind, we already know who wins.
