:: Lunch with my designers today was so fun! We went to Zookinis and had salad bar/potato bar/soup bar. And had good conversation. I work with such great people, and I enjoyed treating them to lunch as a 'thank you' for all they did while I rested on my Sabbatical.
:: Right now, I am all about blackberries and watermelon and blueberries and raspberries. YUM. They make it really easy to eat clean. Doing well so far.
:: Another good stress-free day. I'm loving it and oh you should try it!!
:: I'm going to begin a temporary section on each daily blog entitled, "Daily Rock"...and I will share an inspiring tidbit from "Marriage on the Rock". I think much of this information is so helpful and think that every single marriage in the world could benefit from hearing this stuff. So...below is the first tidbit. I mentioned this briefly on one of my Sabbatical blogs, but after this it will be new information.
DAILY ROCK
First things first, and the most important question you can ask yourself : Who meets your deepest needs?? Deepest needs are the things that every human needs, including acceptance (knowing you are loved and needed), identity (knowing you are individually significant and special), security (knowing you are protected and provided for), and purpose (knowing you have a reason for living).
Most people naturally look to their spouse to meet all of their needs. We are raised to believe that it is part of marriage, that a spouse should fill us up completely. The honest truth is that your spouse can not meet all of your needs. Only God can. God created humans with a "Jesus-sized" hole that only He can fill, and no one on earth can fill that hole. Not even your spouse. People can not give what they do not have.
Are you looking to your spouse to "complete you"? To make you feel loved? To give you a purpose in life? That isn't his/her job. You must first seek God. Once you allow God to complete you, you can then turn to your spouse for the rest. You can then receive from your spouse the special gifts that only he/she can offer. And there is so much less pressure!!
