Pity Party

I was just looking over my post from yesterday and geez, pity party! Poor me right? The business I own needs my attention, my loving wife and brand new child need my attention...horrible! ha!
Anyway...I just got done feeding my son and it really got me thinking about things...about how much he's counting on me. It's cool, humbling and frightening at the same time.
Couple good things happened at work today...so that's comforting. I still need to go make some phone calls. Working from home is tough because it is so tempting to focus on things around the house.
We went to the pediatrician today. Benny has gained 6 more ounces since saturday, he's now back up above his birth weight. Doctor said that usually takes 2 weeks, and he's only been out of the hospital for 6 days. Then the doctor did something really cool...at the end of the appointment, he asked if he could pray with us! Man...that really got me thinking, that's how it's supposed to be. No separation between between your "work" life and your "spiritual" life. Christ is either the center of everything or he's not. I often find myself "checking out" of my relationship with the Lord and strapping on my "work" hat...and that is when I get discouraged and down about my work situation. It's when I give it all back to God and say "you grow this business, you take care of it, just tell me where to be and what to do and I'm yours", that's when the work life falls in sync with my walk with the Lord.
Well, I need to go make those phone calls. I'm so blessed, what a problem to have, I have to go sit on my couch, with my laptop, my phone, my puppy, and my son, and I have to make phone calls to people who buy what I sell. haha
Praise God!
