Tired

Wow...I am really tired today...at least it's Friday! We just got back from playing at the Shirley's! It was a fun morning and Eli loves "new toys"! It was good to get out of the house. Apparently I am not allowed to mention anything about Eli throwing up, b/c it seems like everytime I post that he is well he throws up the very next morning...however, in typing this I will say that he has had one and a half really good days!
We are thinking of taking Eli to the farm tomorrow to see some "moo cows"..which seem to be his favorite right now. We'll see if we end up getting there.
Overall, we have had a pretty low key week which has been pretty good overall. Sometimes the days can be long. Hopefully, we will be able to relax yet go do some things this weekend!
I have been reading up on the story and history of Noah after watching a very discouraging documentery of the story on the Discovery Channel. Anyhow, The story has amazed me, because His faithfulness is so great to start building a boat larger than anything any human could have fathomed. I am left in amazement and wonder if I would have the same type of faith if He called me to something that big without complete explanation. Anyhow, it is a story that reminds me of the faithfulness, holiness, and bigness of God. It reminds me of how much sin breaks His heart, and yet He chose to redeem us. It reminds me that evilness can take over generations and yet He has offered a different way. I am reminded of how holy He is and how much I fail. However, I am reminded of how good He is and how He sent Jesus...and in the story how He sent the flood yet provided a boat and eventually allowed land to be seen again. His promises and provision in our lives are great. Sometimes we just need to stop long enough to see them.
