On my day off...

Why is it that when you are supposed to be at work you hate it... but then on your day off you go into work because you have nothing else to do. I am the lamest person ever...

Oh did I mention I have jury duty tomorrow. The second best thing to do on my day off. Can anyone name the first?

Anyway, I am tired. I am going to get some rest so I can be all happy about tomorrow.

God is working.

Although I have no idea where I will be living in the next few weeks or what job I might have. i know that God is going to be in it all. I have been praying for a while about what the next couple of months hold. Really, I still have no idea. But I know I am one day further to finding out. Please keep me in your prayers.

Goodmorning!

This day is going to be great! I have spent the past couple of days in Louisiana with Jessika and have lobed every minute of it. Sad to see it go. But God has definitely been working and I can't wait to see the path of which God is providing. It is Oct and it feels like Nov but I am ready to spend time with family and enjoy life to the fullest with the Lord.

Vince's Verse for the DAY

As I am getting ready for bed... my friend Vince sends me the verse for the day.

Numbers 18:17
17 "But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep or a goat; they are holy. Sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD."

Then said well its just a joke, but it got you to read Numbers!

I am glad that the burning of fat is an aroma to the Lord...

Yet then Vince chimed in to say that well Bacon is!!

hmm, What a night.

Everett!

Here is my kinda nephew... Yup that's what I said. Kinda nephew.

Hawaii!!!!!

So... I know my followers are a little disappointed with my performance to update so here it goes.

Hawaii... a trip I will NEVER forget.

Sarah, Scott and I went to Maui to relax and have a wonderful trip together! Sarah and I left from Oklahoma City to fly together to Maui... Picture number One:

Then Sarah took about 28 pictures of the wing of the plane. Here is the best one:


Arriving in Maui... SEE! Then we got Layed... (With flowers!! DUH)

Prayer

I went back and read this last post... I know that I try to be sarcastic and funny, but I would have to say that to whomever reading this blog and does not know me, they would think I was a jerk and a ditz. As for I really am, I am a woman seeking after God's will for my life. In two weeks I will be graduated from a 4 year University in three years, accomplished what I wanted to in college, have wonderful friends, and have no idea what I am doing or where I am going to be on day 15.

I have a feeling of loneliness, fear, sadness and the fact that I want to hide from the next phase of my life. I don't like feeling this way. I want to know now. I know that God is teaching me patience and to follow Him. I am trying I just need prayer. I have been praying all week for God to show me the desires of His heart. Allow my desires to be of Him and what He wants for me. I am struggling, I don't want to write this 15 page paper or study for the final. I want to sleep. I do not feel well. I have a sore throat and sinus crap... I do NOT have the swine flu.

I do need prayer and a little support right now as it is getting closer and closer to the end of school and the beginning of a new section of my life. I am breathing everyday that I will wake up one morning and doors will be open and the grass will be green and this HUGE peace will come over me. I know that God is taking care of things. I know that He will not give me more than I can handle. YET even though i KNOW these things believing them can make a difference, Starting today... I believe.

A new day

So, I got my blood drawn yesterday. With my body... I don't do well with little blood. I like to keep ALL of it. But "they" seemed to think they need it more. WHATEVER! Saving four lives with one blood donation. Yeah okay. At least I get to know what my blood type is for the IMB.

That is another headache in itself. This has been the longest process ever! BUT for me a good one. It has been teaching me patients and go with what God is calling me to do. "Love does not easily anger" I continue to remind myself that this is for God's will. Not my own. I continually want to say no and back out and run in the other direction, the easier direction. But I know that it is going to be the story of Jonah if I don't listen now. I am going to regret it and then I am going to have to go anyway.

As this semester is coming to a close, I start to realize how my life is changing. My best friend is getting married in July, I am walking across the stage of graduation, I am dating a boy in which my family is meeting this weekend, I maybe going to San Diego for the Bateman finals, and in January will be leaving for Europe for two years. I never thought I would be saying that. I am excited and nervous and filled with joy and fear. I think that is the best place to be right now. As weird as that sounds I truly believe it.

Today is a new day. I am conquering what needs to be conquered, standing up for myself when necessary, and smiling cause it confuses people.

I FORGOT!

So Since I forgot the yesterday was Tuesday.... Here is the two WACKY WENESDAY thoughts :).

ONE- When you have finals/ MIdterms... it is good to study for them instead of blow them off. THerefore making an "A" would not be so hard.

TWO- Your last semester is the most difficult semester to want to do anything. Make sure you do not get senioritous. I HAVE IT. So I am taking a deep breath and am going to finish strong.

Those are the thoughts of today. SMILE it is going to be a great ONE!

The coolest Video I have EVER seen!

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie- 

I love the fact that The birds are socks and then the pillow clouds go from bright white and happy to the grey clouds. The window portion where her hair is blowing in the wind is beautiful. I am amazed by this video. It takes a lot of patience to do a stop motion video. I have high regards for these artists.

This part where they are dancing on the sheets amazing me because it looks like they aren't laying down. IT IS AWESOME!

At the end she wakes up and seems like she as no idea what she just did. It was all a dream. 

The Tuesday Two's

So from now on, every Tuesday I will be giving my Tuesday Two's. Which means: I will be sharing two thoughts, recollections, tips, random thoughts or epiphanies with you. This is all about the numbers.

FOUR today, Number ONE is Love your neighbor as yourself. God describes this is full detail in the Bible as this is the greatest commandment. 

Number TWO- Always look at the positive side of things. Every time you think things are SO bad, allow GOd to show you how blessed you really are. YOU are LOVED!

I look forward to next Tuesday!
