Spring Break

Time goes so fast! Over the past few days of my Spring Break I have been catching up with friends and family that I normally do not get to spend much time with. I've gotten to go to my cousin's elemntary schools and eat lunch with all four of them. It's been a fun adventure to say the least. I've also gotten to hang out with "my peeps" at CharlotteOne. Last night I stayed with my friend, Stephanie in Charlotte. She's a Georgia peach :) My goals this week has been to get my car cleaned, CHECK:)... and to get my Taxes at least started on! That is on the list for today. I need to clean up more around the house but time has been short with working and catchiing up with everything else. So for tomorrow, I will visit my Great Aunt Dorothy and then catch up with cleaning. I know many of you dont really care much about my routine, haha, but I thought I would tell you all anyways just for kicks so thanks for listening to my "interesting" life.

My time with the Lord has been good but I still want more. Today at Family Dollar I found an awesome notecard/notebook to keep track of memory verses. I'm pretty siked about it. It's like a folder, rubber band, and it's spiral bond. You know that's cool! :) It's all about the small things in life.

Oh and can anyone tell me why we interchange St. Patrick's Day and St. Patty's Day? Did I miss something? Man to woman? I dont' get it. Please help me understand, afterall I should know since I'm Irish.

Ready to Rest in Him...

My fear lately if I can be brutally honest with you is that the things God has brought me through to get closer to Him will be forgotten or rather not applied. I'm not sure if any of you know what I'm talking about although I have reason to beleive most of you may. I don't want to be complacent in my upbringing but rather unsettled for seeing the world much bigger than through my mere eyes. I want to see,ache, experience and reach the world for Christ. I want to think past my own desires and seek His desires so through His desires they will become my desires. Pslam 37:4 I'm off of work next week since it's Spring Break and to be honest, I'm looking forward to a great retreat to get more time with my Father,God.

Being back home is great! I'm so blessed to have a family like I do. It's funny though that no matter where I/You am/are, I'm/you're always going to have something to complain about. The truth about it all is, life isn't perfect. People definitley aren't perfect and there's only so much one person can do. The older you/I get, the most demands we have put on us. Do this, do that, the list(s) go on and on.

I am emotionally and physically tired. I want to Seek the Lord. Pray and love Him. I miss my Father. My Savior. My life has been more out of balance than I have wanted and my focus isn't in focus like I pray it to be.

I blog all of this out in hopes I'm not alone. I also blog it all out to just filter my thoughts out onto something visual.

So much on my mind...

Praying for a rested, humble spirit.

Happy Birthday Rachel :)

Today is my great friend and co-worker, Rachel's Birthday! Her brother is in town for a bit and she's been showing him what her life consists of. Her smile can light up a room! I'm very thankful for her friendship and look forward to many more moments to share with her:). In Ecclesiastes 3: It talks about "To everything there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven.." Even if Rachel and I are only coworkers for a "season", I'm still thankful for the here and now, sharing the times and laughs together while we can.

Here is a pic of Rachel and I and our two wonderful friends, Sandi and Ezelis.

Good times!:)

Recap of the week

This week has been quite busy for my family. My grandparents went on their first cruise and while they were away their kids and grandkids went to town on their home acting like "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" only instead, "mini makeover". The floors were replaced with berber carpet and laminate flooring. The "sewing/fabric room" was converted into a spare bedroom and the "junk room" was converted into storage/pool table (kid size) room. As excited as i was to see my grandparents faces as they walked through the rooms, I must say I completely forgot to take the first picture to document this special occasion. How nice it must have been to come home to your family ready to greet you with a smile and hug, and what a bonus to have the fireplace a glow, and the house "spic and span". Pretty cool! With all that now accomplished, it's time for a good 'ol day of rest! Praise the Lord for the weekend!:)

Thanks for listening.

Blessed!

The latest thing I would like to exclaim my praises to God for are the continuous outpouring of new Christian friends through CharlotteOne. I love being apart of the body of Christ. Last night was the Shane and Shane concert!! As always it was amazing. I think my new favorite song of theirs is burn us up. Check it out!

I almost forgot!.. so, I'm a greeter at CharlotteOne each week and since last night was the concert, I was one of the peeps taking the tickets to get in. While I'm taking tickets,this guy trys getting in without a ticket and says, " I'm with the band, I'm with the band." My skeptic self is like, yea whatever go ahead. It wasn't until my friend Daniel told me, the guy I tried to keep out of the place was the guy I had came to see! Talk about hilariously embarrassing!In case you are aching to know who it was, it was Shane Everett. It just goes to show you how ordinary "famous" people look. It was a neat reminder to me that we all fall short, and no matter how "famous" we are, we all will bow down to the FAMOUS ONE.
