WORSHIP SONG:

Hope in Front of Me - Danny Gokey

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God for getting all my work done before 4 pm, 2 hrs earlier than yesterday.
• Thank you God my husband had an interview today with the company he's already had 2 other interviews with.  They want to bring him in to the company now for another interview.
• Thank you God I got a workout done.
• Thank you God for homemade marinara sauce.  Yummy.
• Thank you God for a good time of worship with You today.

THOUGHTS:

• Though I sort of wanted to just go back to sleep, getting up with the kids and getting our morning stuff done is good.  My son has a really hard time remembering to take his probiotic and ACV, but he did it this morning without being reminded.
• Hard to believe that a quarter of the year is gone.
• This interview process with the company my husband started the jobprocess now probably a month ago or more, seeing 1 in person and 2 phone interviews, now he's going in for another interview where this will be more in depth testing.  He will be majorly studying today through to the time of his interview.  This is the furthest he's gotten in any of the interview processes, so I am proud of him and leaving this in God's hands.  We both really want him to get this job.
• Trying to really adjust to my new glasses.  There's a stiffness to them, so it's bothering me a little.

Notes:   In the middle of doing Group 2, I got an awful side stitch and was unable to do the burpees the 2nd round because of the side stitch, which slowed me down for the last 3 following groups.  My heartrate didn't get as high as if I was doing a Zuzka workout

I really should have had a small protein shake after the workout as I was feeling physically very shaky.
