Some Wednesday Random Thoughts here….

Posted on by

I was laughing this morning because you know the Lord always makes you do things you are not so good at doing. For example, I am really bad about writing thank you notes when people do something very nice. I will call them, or email them but to put that pen to a card is sometimes difficult for me.Well since my surgery I have been blessed by so many people that everyday I have been writing thank you cards. There are some sweet wonderful ladies in my Sunday School group that have been making dinner for my family about once a week. My husband is about to leave me and move in with them, because he has never been feed so well. Well yesterday they made me dinner again, and I realized I still had not got the thank you card in the mail from the week before. (guilt. guilt.) I can see the Lord chuckling at me, saying “girl if there is something you are not good at, the best thing to do is do it a lot!”. HA!

Oh and also I am pouting a little bit (just a little) but tomorrow is my birthday and I can not eat any of my favorite cheesecake. I am officially over the half way mark of my 30′s and I can not begin to tell you how that depresses me. Can I please just stay this age? And this is the age I will be when I can offically say “I have a teenager” (early part of next year).

I told my sister I can not wrap my brain around the idea that at 36 I can say “I have a teenager too.” Wasn’t it just yesterday I was changing diapers, getting up in the middle of the night?

Well in honor of my birthday I will let you ask me up to 36 questions of anything you want to know about me or my walk with the Lord. Leave the questions in the comments section, or email me. I will keep you anonymous if you want (let me know by email). Nothing super personal, but anything goes. But hopefully some people will join in, so I don’t feel alone =) I will post the questions and answers sometime tomorrow. Oh and could you eat some cake tomorrow for me?

Blessings

Can I just tell you how God is blessing me….

I was having a very difficult day yesterday, (one of my down days). I am doing a lot better this morning, thank you for asking. Anyways. God has really been keeping me going.

First I have the sweetest bloggy friend in her. Her encouraging emails and care have really helped me (I have told her so personally).

Then I read this

Laurel Wreath writes Let Your Fire Burn! She shares all about how the holy spirit keeps our faith fires going. Laurel Wreath has quickly become one of my favorite encouragement blogs. If you’ve never visited her blog, now is the time to go and get a quick faith-lift for the moment.

from her. And I can not begin to tell you how she blessed my heart on a down day. I even bragged to my husband and Mom.

Then this morning I HAD to go onto the middle school campus because they were collecting fundraiser money and I am the PTA treasurer. I did. not. want. to. go. I got up this morning at 6am trying to come up with every excuse. Well I showed up, they had tons of women covering for me collecting the money from the fundraiser, so they said “go home and get better”. I was almost skipping out of the school. I just did not want to face tons of middle schoolers with my mouth rubber band shut.

Then the cherry on top. I come into work this morning (I have a very flexible job), well my boss calls me and says, “I did not want to send you flowers because they just die, I told him no worries; you made my family dinner and have gone above and beyond” and then he said, “well I just want you to know you have a 9am pedicure apt tomorrow and you will go and then bill me for the time”. I about fell out of my chair. I said “I am not going to bill you for the time”, and he said, “yes you are because I am asking you to!”. I stared to cry.

Oh my goodness how I feel God’s love around me, and I will have pretty toes to boot!

Thank you.

I am baaaaack, did you miss me =) Actually I am only back to reading all the wonderful things you have wrote. I will be making my rounds these next few days as much energy as I can muster.

First of all I want to thank Lauren, she is such a sweet doll. And I wish I could give her a big hug, her words of encouragement and then updating ya’ll for me was above and beyond. Thank you Lauren.

The encouraging emails and e-card sent my way have helped more than my words could explain. I am through the hard part of the surgery. But right now I look in the mirror and do not recognize who is looking back at me. Eating has become a chore, and my life is rotating around what time my next medication is. But alas this too will pass….

I am slowly regaining my energy. Right now I get a burst of energy for about 30 mins then I head back to bed for 2 hours to sleep some more. I know this is all part of my body healing itself. So right now I am off to make my rounds on my bloglines, as energy allows.

Thank you sweet sisters for your prayers and encouragement. Like I said, to say “thank you” just does not seem to convey my feelings of appreciation. But
