Blogging is a bit like an exercise program, I start with lots of energy and I do it every day and then it starts to happen less and less and before I know it I am back to hardly doing it at all. I don’t why it is like that, I enjoy exercise and I feel good afterward like blogging but for some reason it is so kind of hard to do.

But here I am so I better make it worth doing and say something interesting…..

I just wrote an email to my mother in law which was kind of fun. I love her, really I do but our relationship has been a little strained, a little stressful and not altogether what I had hoped for. I guess when God called me to bring her out to Australia I did but I think I subconciously thought, ‘great I have done that now and God will take care of the rest and I don’t have to do anything’ but that wasn’t quite true. I then had to get to know her better and accept her more and love her much more and that was much harder but much more inportant and really the reason that she was to come here and although I had God’s support I had to do that. I did it a little but not as much as I should have.

Thankfully though life and relationships are journies and that was part of ours but now there is more and we can write emails and talk on the phone adn reflect on what happened. God keeps giving us the chance to know wachother more and love eachother more which is great, which I guess is grace.

Hey maybe it is like blogging and exercise. You start woth lots of energy and ideals about waht is going to happen and it is easy enough at first but then you have to work and you have to be committed.
