Spring cleaning and doing all the things!

Good Tuesday to you!!!!

It is soup-er muggy here today. Tomorrow looks like a stormy day, so today we run. By we I mean me; and by run I mean make my ponytail bounce as I move at a speed slightly faster than a walk.

Our computer system went down at work before I had even finished my morning coffee at home. Who gets the call? Me. The girl that doesn't own a computer or have the internet; or know how to use her smartphone totally; or how to use an iPod (that she can't find. more on that later)  We got it back up and running at 4:22pm. You can imagine my day. I think in the future I'll just get a big ball of wires to wrap around me so everyone will believe I'm working on the issue.

 


So my iPod. I have a little shuffle that clips on. I loaded music on it in about...oh....2006? I've never updated it. I lost it in 2012 when I clipped it to a box in my closet. It was reunited with me last summer (2014). I used it one whole time, and lost it again. Dang. I have the charger though! I need one for my 1/2 marathon this month, but don't want to buy a new one. A: because I don't have my own computer/iTunes. 2: I don't want to put music on it. If anyone has one they would loan me for just one day, with upbeat music, I'd totally preesh. I'll even buy one for a reasonable price if it's preloaded with cool songs. Think about it!

Oh, spring cleaning. Yes. Not really, but while looking for my iPod I unearthed many things that needed to go. Old pictures, I hate throwing those out but sometimes it's necessary, broken cheap jewelry, cards, receipts, check stubs (shredded, don't worry), dust, and hair. Plus that really ugly purse I never should have bought, and never used. And price/size tags off clothing. Why did I have so many of them? Everywhere!!  I also found my old hand wraps. Remember when I was training to be an MMA fighter?!

And now, because I know you're begging for it.....RANDOM PICTURES!!!

This portion of my lawn is left untouched on purpose. These cute flowers open all over, everyday. He doesn't have to buy me flowers, he has left them for me each time the sun comes out.

Mom sent me some seeds to plant. We don't know what they are. We'll be surprised together!!

Chocolate chip cookies with raspberry extract. Not ruined; total amazing.

Help.



Finally, my favorite pins of the week (one has a bad word, look the other way):

A feeling on a Friday

Sometimes you just have to trust God and go with it. I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've gotten during my life, good and bad, that have shaped me into the chick that I am. I want to radiate the love of Christ through patience, understanding, and hospitality. I think helping and giving are in my bones. I get so excited when I know of an opportunity to lend a hand, lend a shoulder, lend a room, lend a car, whatever it may be. It's what Jesus did, and what He wants us to WANT to do. Oh, but my little mind gets in the way. Don't think for a second that it's easy to give out of lack. It may be true that the less fortunate give a higher percentage of themselves than those well-off, but, that doesn't mean that it is done without worry from time to time. I've tithed BIG amounts, and right before I do, I always worry about that time coming when I'll say "oh, if only I had held on to that money". My stomach knots and my heart races. Then I

Growing up, self-tanners, ...and doing all the things!!!!

Do you ever make lists of things you need to do? I don't mean things like stopping for gas, or buying a new nail polish. I mean BIG things. Grown up things. The kind of things that you have to do on your lunch break when the business is open. Things that require legal jargon, or measurements, or notaries. I've had a pretty overwhelming list for the past 4 months. I'm finally getting to the end of it, which feels good. Looking back however, I've noticed how much I ran from these tasks. Decisions that can change the course of your life need to be well thought out, and executed with importance. I took the time to research them, organize the plan, and then.....I postponed. I didn't delay because I didn't want to face them. I didn't delay because it caused an emotional downturn. I delayed simply because "I don't wanna!". I wanted my mom to do it, or my teacher, or my big sister. I don't wanna go talk to the mean man behind the desk. I don

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur
