peace...

sometimes Gods peace seems so hard to grasp on to. The concept seems difficult and distant. Other times it seems ridiculously simple and I wonder why I don't take advantage of it more often. I believe God's peace is freely given but not with out action or guide lines to follow... for instance we can not and will not have God's peace when we are living life according to our own desires and purposes. If we are doing things OUR way then peace? Not so much. Remember what it says in the bible... His ways are NOT our ways ( Isaiah 55:8-9). The first clue... if I'm doing it my way then true ever lasting peace is not going to happen. My hope for peace is following God's ways know matter how nonsensical,  know matter what society is telling me, know matter what my human mind is saying, in fact just remembering the scripture His ways are NOT my  ways is bringing me peace.

back to work...

back to work tomorrow...

I've had two glorious weeks off this month and have enjoyed every single minute! It's been full of happy memories with family, my favorite thing, laughter, tired feet, oh and sleeeeep beautiful wonderful sleep. Of course all good things must come to an end as they say :) 

Honestly, I like my job lots and I've missed the scooby gang... no job is perfect and I definitely have THOSE days, but I chalk that up as normal and consider myself completely blessed to be surrounded by such great, normal (well maybe not quite normal???), not afraid to be themselves people.

So vacation I'll miss you but the show must go on!!!!!!

Saturday Inspiration...



this weeks weigh in

okay so I"m supposed to be weighing in on Tuesdays but haven't been. I got up today with a new determination and decided I would bite the bullet! I weighed in and have gained 2 lbs!!! I must say I'm not surprised. I haven't been sticking to the weight watchers plan at all... I stopped tracking my points and drinking water and blah blah blah.

So today I am picking up my boot straps on the boot that I can't wear because they give my legs muffin top, putting my head down and pressing forward!

Here's to not giving up! You can do it old gal you can do it!

feeling better

yes I'm feeling better today... I think it helps when eyes roll like bowling balls and looks that could kill get hurled at me!

we are getting away as a family for the next few days and that helps too :) it was between vegas and the happiest place on earth and we decided on the second. we will be members of the passport community again and i cant wait!!!! We LOVE disneyland in every season and I'm so glad we will be able to go when ever we want!!! Fall/Halloween's my favorite but I love Christmas too!!! I am sooo happy!!!
