I had a good shift overnight and came home to sleep while Ruth went to her first swim lessons. We went to eat at IHOP for lunch where Ruth always eats a good amount of eggs. I went to the hospital for some meetings and continue to learn so much from Steve. I am not ready to be director, but perhaps over time I can take some valuable lessons from Steve and gain the experience needed to take that next step. I met Amy, Ruth, Angela, and Will for dinner at Bubba's which was featured in the recent Texas Monthly's cover story about the best affordable meals in the state. Amy drove to work the overnight shift while the rest of us went to the playground by White Rock Lake. It was a diverse crowd of families which brought up questions of what school environment is best for our children. I'll leave further discussion and debate regarding public vs private vs home school for another day. Anyway, Ruth had a bath and played with toys in her room. I think we will go watch the Curious George movie that we just bought and call it a night and look forward to Amy coming home in the morning.

1 Corinthians 4:3 "I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."

This is something that I would say ranks right behind wanting Ruth to understand the love and sacrifice of Christ. Once she understands that He died for our since so that we are saved, I want her to understand that everything in this world is rubbish and to not worry about what others think of us when they judge us. The greatest misuse of my time and the instigator of me taking the wrong path in life resonated from me trying to please other people or wanting the approval of others. "It is the Lord who judges me." If we could all just forget about the other wannabe judges and only care about Him, this world would be a whole lot less complicated. How can I convey this to my kids when I don't live this way myself? I must incorporate this belief into everything I do and then pray that my children will believe this when I try to instill this value onto them.
