It's All About Perception

On Fridays, I work as an office clerk from 8-5. What time did my head escape my smothering pillow this mornin? 10am...that's right kiddies.....I slept through 3 alarms, 2 phone calls and a text message from my boss. For a good 16 seconds, I went into a self-pity party, wallowing in self-hatred spiral. I started thinking what an awful employee I was for oversleeping, and therefore an awful human then that spilled over into being a horrible student and a terrible friend and...wah...wah...wah.....

UNHAND ME SATAN!

I am blessed with a boss that was more concerned with my absence than anything. When i called her she just told me not to worry and come in whenever I got up and around. She was more understanding than I deserved, but she was understanding. I very quickly told myself to snap out of my funk and get up and brush my hair. My tardiness was sincerely not going to affect my day, so WHY let it bring down my mood? it is a BEAUTIFUL day filled with the blessings of the Lord..I'll be just fine :)

I'm running again today with my sweet sweet dear dear friend, Tarah. After work we're headed to the lake, we might just run one mile and walk the second. We're both new at this, so we're just lookin to build up :) I'm SO excited :))

God is so good! He has another way to look at EVERYTHING that makes it better. Every situation has a bright side, a God side :) He workd everything together for the good of those that love and serve the Lord :) It's biblical :)

I pray you see the God side today :)

I'm prayin for ya :)

Cabin Fever

I want to run. BUT I am SO thankful for this time to work on school work. God is good and faithful :) It's just 5 short days until my FAVORITE day of the year: VALENTINE'S DAY! I know...I know... grumblegrumblegrumblegrumble Hear me out here: Forget about the pepto-pink aisles at WalMart lined with Love Note TUMS and enough candy to send you into a sugar coma for 19 months. Forget about the oversized Teddy bears that could double as couches if you ever found yourself in a pinch.Go with me here: Imagine a day where everyone has a little lift to their step, Imagine a day where sincere compliments are filling the hallways of offices and schools. Imagine smiles, all smiles, all day long. Imagine if for just one day everyone truly Loved their neighbor and treated everyone they met that day as a friend. That's the kind of Valentine's Day I'm rooting for :) More on that tomorrow :) Maybe I'll get to run too :)

Reason for the Season

"We love because HE FIRST LOVED us." 1 John 4:19 We are called to do as Christ did; Love...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say that enough times. We are called to LOVE everyone. Love your fellow humans. There is absolutely NO reason to not love someone ESPECIALLY after you FIRST meet them. WHat have they done to you at that point that merits a no-love response? I'm not calling any one person out, I'm just sayin: If we are to truly live out a CHRISTian walk.....we best be lovin' on peole. CHRISTmas is a time of celebration for what our God has done for us. "For He SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that who so ever BELIEVES in Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16 The God of the UNOVERSE Loved YOU enough to send His Son to the Earth, live a human life, with human temptation, and die on a cross as YOUR scape goat. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Some people cannot wrap their minds around someone loving them that much bec...

December :)

October is my favorite month, but December...oh December.....it makes me heart so happy. It's like the cute boy in your boring class who just makes it worth it. ......an oatmeal cream pie following a rigorous workout. Vanilla Raspberry Black Coffee at 5:30am.... ....a hug on a less-than-stellar day... ...a dress with pockets.... You get it. December is FANTASTIC! I am challenging myself to blog every day in December. As most of you have realized, I am a truly awful blogger when it comes to my consistency. I look at this challenge as a way to work on my reliability and commitment issues :) I'm glad I have YOU to hold me accountable :)
