GREAT is He!!

Its amazing sometimes to see what people around you are like. Today I got in trouble, IN TROUBLE for planning a surprise birthday party-a carry in- for our co worker Angie. She always brings in a cake and goodies for everyones birthday and tries to make them feel special without asking or wanting anthing in return. I thought that it was about time we showed her how much we appreciated her and her kindness and did something nice for her. People were excited about it even! And then today I get an email from my boss saying that having birthday events for people leave others out. I didn't quite get it, especially the more I thought about it. But being employed, and wanting to STAY employed (at least untill I find another job) I kept my mouth shut and said of course, and agreed with my boss. Our HR person did not agree and apparently is sending off a firey email to our boss. Gee I can't wait to go into work in the morning!

I was going to blog about how much the sermon touched my heart on Sunday morning. But i think with that above paragraph I pretty much killed all of that!

Seriously though, I was so happy to go to church on Sunday, not be sick, felt great. And we sang one of my favorite songs, which has been stuck in my head for days now. Great is he, he's the king of kings.. Even though I'm a Soprano, I like the alto's words better:) But I digress. The sermon series we're doing is about Faith and we are in Genesis. Gen 16 this past week to be exact. Pastor Whips was telling the story of Sarai and Abram and he told it from a stand point that I had never heard or even thought of before. He had three points to his sermon about how each person wasn't having faith and what they were doing, and doggone it if I wasn't doing EVERY SINGLE POINT!! When he started talking about the first point, scheming.. i thought ohh no.. this is me.. and then he got to passivity.. and i thought wait.. i do that to! and then he got to running and i was like whooao boy i am the captain of the running squad! needless to say the sermon definately got my attention. I have been praying and trying to put the faith into action and not doing those three things and wouldn't you know it. Yesterday and Today have been the best days at work in a very long time. God's pretty awesome. Especially when you pay attention to what he's trying to tell you!!!!!

I did have a wonderful weekend with church and on Saturday I got my new couch! (my parents old couch which i lOVE!!!) it is sooo comfy and looks good in my living room and best of all it reminds me of home! its really comforting to come home to that everyday. I like having used and passed down furnature because it always reminds me of the person who had it before me.

Speaking of my parents, Mom and Grams will be showing up soon. Today was Grams every 3 mos cancer check up in Indy. Her CA125 levels are still at the remission level, so unless something has popped up, Praise God, she is ok. Now we can breathe, untill 3 mos goes by and she goes back.

I am putting my family to work rearranging my bedroom. We are going to move my bed closer to the closet and away from the window so I hopefully won't hear everyone's car doors so much

one hour later

Well we got everything moved!! Thanks to Edge's generosity I still have a rubbermaid container and a large laundry basket filled with clothes that won't fit in my dresser or closet. Mom is probably going to bring my brothers old armoir to my apt next week so I can use that. I'm hoping to clean out my tiny dresser and move those clothes into the armoir. But who knows! On the happy end though, my rocking chair is now in the corner by my window and my entertainment center and my new bedroom tv( I've never had one before!!!) is angled where I can see it from the chair and from my bed. ROCK ON!! So I'm pretty excited. I'm in the furnature moving mood this week apparently. I moved stuff around on Saturday when I got my new couch.

Well I had better get with it. I still can't see my bed!!

JESUS IS COOL!!

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...
