I have to admit it was a long weekend. \u00a0Jacob and Jozie’s wedding is done, and it was really a lot of work. \u00a0I have to say I’m glad. \u00a0My brother and sister (Ben and Emily) were up here and it was so good to see them again. \u00a0I really enjoyed the time we got to spend together. \u00a0They’ll be back up again in September for another wedding. \u00a0Excellent. \u00a0I started writing my speech for graduation today. \u00a0I’ve got a good start, but I want to finish it up tomorrow so I can start editing it.<\/p>\n
Today was a good day. \u00a0This morning God showed me very clearly an attitude of envy, and selfishness that I have. \u00a0So all during breakfast I was convicted. \u00a0After breakfast I was repenting, and then during our strategic planning we watched a movie that was both encouraging and\u00a0confirming. \u00a0He really pointed out that I need to give Him control. \u00a0Praise and recognition are His, not mine. \u00a0When they’re not mine I don’t have to worry about them. \u00a0It’s\u00a0irrelevant. \u00a0God can do whatever He wants with His praise and recognition. \u00a0I have this picture of the whole thing in my head, but I don’t know how to type it out.<\/p>\n
Psalm 76:10 Surly the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.<\/em><\/p>\n I’m not sure what this means, but I really like the wording and contrast.<\/p>\n Proverbs 8:35-36 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.<\/em><\/p>\n Wisdom is speaking. It is important, vital to be seeking after, chasing, striving for wisdom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have to admit it was a long weekend. \u00a0Jacob and Jozie’s wedding is done, and it was really a lot of work. \u00a0I have to say I’m glad. \u00a0My brother and sister (Ben and Emily) were up here and it was so good to see them again. \u00a0I really enjoyed the time we got … Continue reading “Weekend”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
