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 :)

Dancer and Prancer

Passed midnight again, but i refuse to go to bed without bloggin this month. I will succeed at this challenge :) No runnin today, BUT I went two-steppin....figured that kinda of counted :) Tonight was the last bible study of the semester. My girls are so wonderful :) It so great to see how close we've all gotten. The study of Song of Solomon was so unbelievably rewarding. We had a good time gigglin through the poetic language, but we cannot deny the fact that we learned more than we bargained for about Love. AH! God is sosososo good :) It's crazy to think, nearly a year ago, I was worried I would not be able to minister to these girls the way God would need me to... Number 1: WHO am I to know what, or who, God will use. Number 2: He Equips, the call, He does not call the "equipped" He's Just so good :) Today will be a Double Blog Day....

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 :)

Me: All Growed Up

My lanta! FOUR years? HOW? I absolutely love that this blog is still here (especially after mourning my xanga presence...RIP). Things are a little different now. I'm almost 30. I live in my dream apartment. I'm the Director of Community Engagement at a nonprofit in Oklahoma City. I ran another half marathon. I wear glasses. I traveled...everywhere. I started volunteering at a Children's Hospital. I overcame sincere fears of airports and hospitals. I started a Master's program. I loved. I lost. I ate. I slept. I danced. I laughed. I giggled. I stopped drinking coffee for a month...WHAT...it's been wild. Jesus is still my fuel and people are still me passion. Last post, I talked about the identity of this blog. Where was it going? What will it center around? I do that a lot. I want to do something and then I talk it to death. What's the central idea?! What's the plan?! How many times will I commit to post?! What's my big picture goa...
