Was a *great* weekend with my family this weekend, thank you God /

Great weekend too!!! Thank you God for my friends and family!! /

Wonderful and interesting week and weekend.

Awesome and loving husband and children

God saw me through a hectic day at work!! /
The other girl I work with called in sick, so I had to do two jobs. I was extremely busy but there wasn't anything too difficult for me to handle, which was all God because there is always something challenging!!! I even got off work on time, which is even more amazing!!!

Ooooh how exciting!!!

I'm so blessed and others too when I use the gift God has given me to serve Him!!

I bought a Men's Study Bible for my "boyfriend" two years ago. It was recently lost or stolen. How is this a "yeeeehaaa" moment, you may say? Well, I'll tell you. We went Bible shopping together last night and he got all excited because he found a Bible with a sailboat on it that happened to be his favorite translation, the NIV. He was initially torn between his old Men's Devotional NIV and his new Study NIV with the sailboat (by the way we are the proud owners of a 25ft Catalina which is why the fascination with sailboats). Anyway, a thought occured to me that maybe I could find a small Zondervan's Men's Devotional book with most of the devotions taken straight out of his Zondervan's Men's Devotional Bible. And I did! So now he has a little book of men's devotionals (which is why he liked the old Bible so well) and a new Study Bible with the sailboats. He's all excited about reading now, and he remembered before I did this morning to pull out his new devotional. YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEHAAA.

got out of town last night...

saw the parents of my "boyfriend" last night for the first time in several weeks!

drove around the park with a friend to see the town's Christmas lights it was fun!

played Speed UNO with a ton of friends until 3:00 in the morning!

slept in because i do not have a final today!

fell in love.... again.... at least i think it's love... hehehe

That's excellent Foreverchanged!!!

Sarah, sounds like you had a great time!!

just a little thought to pass on. love you all and best wishes for the
holidays.

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the
jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a
single mother who worked nine hours that day and is
rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do
the laundry and spend a few precious moments with
her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced,
tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make
change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college
student, balancing his apprehension over final exams
with his fear of not getting his student loans for
next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum,
begging for money in the same spot every day (who
really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions
that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple
walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and
blocking our shopping progress are savoring this
moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she
got back last week, this will be the last year that
they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of
all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is
love. It is not enough to share that love with those
we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who
are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow
to judge and quick to forgive, show patience,
empathy and love.

that's beautiful, anangelsarms. thanks i needed that.

thanks anangelsarms!!

gotta love those locksmiths. try popalock[purple hearse looking car], he charged only 20 bucks. luckily was at bank and just cashed a check. money was for car insurance payment, not due yet-thank God for these favors. phoned best bud at time, he offered to call a cab for me[he was at work]. he has a new life now. [not necessarily good]funny how people enter your life for a short time to help you.

I was asked to join a little "think tank" group that helps the pastor come up with new ideas (over at Praise)...he says I always have insightful answers. I was also asked to join the choir. I'm really excited but very nervous. This is the first time I've actually taken an opportunity in a very long time to be able to use some of my God-given gifts. It's kinda scary, but it's worth a yeehhhaaa...Thanks, God for the big opportunity. I'll try to do you proud.

newcomers Sunday this weekend, [I R one], otherwise would visit praise-they have a pm service too?

I don't think they do...

oh ok. thanks. how are you tonight?
