Reflections of the past

The past few days have inspired a few reflections on past events. 

On Sunday, the kids from youth group went roller blading... and a bunch of us dressed up 80's style. I had no idea how much work that hair was! I have a new appreciation for the photos of my parents that we've previously made fun of. We had a blast, but there is no way that I'd be willing to put that much effort into my hair and makeup on a daily basis. It was super great to look through old albums and to wonder what my kids will think about the pictures they see of me. 

In a different reflection, I was remembering back to a year ago as I finished up my one year Bible reading plan yesterday. A year ago in February I wasn't really reading consistently and I didn't really know where to start. I found a chronological plan, which I had never done before and decided to use that. At that point, a certain friend of mine reorganized the entire plan so that it started on February 24th instead of January 1st and offered to do the plan with me for accountability. I was very blessed by it back then, even more so a year later as we are finishing it up together. Maybe he thought that if we read together that we'd get to spend more time together... I guess it kind of worked out according to his plan, haha :) Time to start a new reading plan!
