So many thoughts today...

First, I can't believe that I'm still blogging after a week.  (Even though it's much easier to do almost daily than to remember to do it weekly.)

Second, I had a boat-load of water again today.  I'm really enjoying how it makes me feel.

And now for the crux of today's blog...Job.

I have one of those bibles that helps me read the bible in a year.  I have read through the bible before, but I wanted to do it again this year to continue my trend of doing things that are healthy for me.

Anyways, last night, I started the book of Job.  I tend to struggle with Job - not because God allowed Satan to touch him and not because he lost everything.  No, I tend to struggle through the book of Job because of his friends.  (I struggle with how they talk at him for a good portion of time.)

This got me thinking last night about how grateful I am for my friends.  I have developed a network (over the past 10 years especially) of wonderful women who champion me, even when I'm not fighting for myself.  These friends are a constant support - and a constant reminder that God loves me, for they regularly show me the love of Christ.

There will be days that I cannot do this - be healthy, live to the fullest, etc. - but I know I am not alone in life.  I know that I have love and support...And it will no longer be I that has to do life...

We will do life together.

Thank you, friends.
