Reality Check

It's been a stressful week for us. I won't get into what we have been dealing with, but I can say that I have seen my sweet hubby come out of it my champion, best friend and spiritual leader. While he was seriously wrestling with what we are up against, I needed to check out. Literally. I wasn't sleeping. I was constantly anxious! And the Lord says

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

I spent the past weekend in prayer and in Harry Potter. It might seem a contradiction, but it really did help. This is my second time reading the last installment of the series. The first time I waited in line for 4 hours on the release night. I was the second person to get a copy. I went home and spent the next 24 hours straight reading...not eating...not sleeping...Yep. I consider myself lame, now.

I began the book Friday afternoon at 12:05. I finished it last night at 8:05. Hum, still lame I guess. I really enjoyed blanking out a bit and just reading. I spent college with my face in countless books. Now, I want to bury myself in books. Derek has reaped plenty of fun from this. When I read, he is left to do whatever he wants!

Now, We've made progress into what we are facing and we've enjoyed a weekend of small print. (Probably one of our favorite weekends because we are so deliriously happy to spend it in the company of words on a page.) I'm also ready for the last Potter film which comes to Korea the same day it opens in the US. YES! I can't handle the intense action scenes, but I can remember the "light" action created by my imagination while reading. I need some suggestions on what to read next. Our library has been reduced to our theology genre and I'm a bit burnt out.
