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!!
