Today was a good day!

So today I found out that I get to go to Tenessee with some friends...I'm way excited and I think it's gonna be a blast. I'm not going until the end of March but I'm really looking forward to it. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get the time off because I just started a new job and all but My boss had no problem with it, and the best part we get one of the days off as a paid holiday. So I'm really only taking 4 days off which I can still get paid for with vacation time!


The other thing that made it a great day (and fellow bloggers alike will find joy in this) that Ashley VandenRaadt (Russey) has joined the world of blogging! It's only taken her about a year to finally brave the world of blogging but i ask that you give her a warm welcome and check out her blog here

Why is waiting so difficult?

God has really been pressing upon my heart recently the area of waiting. Not just waiting in general but waiting upon HIM... Something that may come easy to some, but that "some" does not include me. I had been given this book by my brother a couple of years ago that I read and loved but couldn't find it for a while. The book? Waiting on God by Rev. Andrew Murray. I found it recently when going through some stuff in my room and God just kind of encouraged me through this book by this quote from it.

"Let us resolve at once that it shall be the one characteristic of our life and worship, a continual, humble, truthful waiting upon God. We may rest assured that He who made us for Himself, that He might give Himself to us and in us, that He will never dissapoint us. In waiting on Him we shall find rest and joy and strength, and the supply of every need."

I was just toally blessed by this so I wanted to share so that you might be encouraged and blessed also. And if you want a good read. Pick up Waiting on God, it's challenging.

My day off...

So with this new job and all working for the school district I got today (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) off paid!!!! Which is way cool. But I kinda just hung out at home this is what my day consisted of: Noticing that the dog had obviously gone digging to bury something and come back in the house with her feet and face covered in mud. And then coloring mom's hair. That was what I did with my day off. But it was quite enjoyable really.

My Sunday School lil' ones.

I sure do love this little kids! They are such incredible, amazing, trouble makers who always make me laugh and it never ceases that I have a great time every Sunday morning. Even if it is at 7:30 am!
