Hectic

I'm back. And I'm behind in life. I'll get you caught up one of these days.

In the meantime, is there anything you want to know about me? My life? What kind of cereal I eat? Ask away!

God's Chisel

Last week at church we talked about John 15. Pastor Ken ended a 3 week series on the 15th Chapter of John by interviewing a congregation member as well as sharing a video clip. I highly recommend you go watch it (since I can't seem to get it to connect with this post).

Basically it's about YOU being God's masterpiece, but it'll take some chiseling away to get you just right.

So pop on over to youtube.com and watch the God's Chisel Skit.

It's a weird, weird life

Man things are strange right now in my little life. Where do I start?

• So my boss is gone this week. I was so looking forward to having the week to get caught up before I take a few days off next week. It ain't happenin'. I've gotten 2 things crossed off my list and added 12 more.
• Currently, right this minute, I'm holding a text conversation with an ex-boyfriend. Think years ago ex. Like, ex that was in a bad accident while on duty and is now dependent on a wheelchair.
• I'm going on a mini vaca next week. That's not strange or weird. It's wonderful! I can't wait to see Macie and her mom and dad and meet her new brother William. Then go to my cousin's wedding down in the same are. Me = excited!!!
• I'm also in the midst of planning, or attempting to, another vacation. Can't talk much about that right now though until a few things are confirmed. Stay tuned.
• Speaking of staying tuned. Is there anything you can remember that I've said stay tuned or more to come on and haven't followed through? Please remind me what I was supposed to share with you, because I can't remember. Leave reminder in comments. And. I'll. get back to you. Stay tuned. ahahaha
• My basil flourishes but tomato plant dies. There were planted 2 feet from each other. What gives? Tomato #2 is planted. Here's to hopin' a get one little piece of fruit from it.
• I've been talking/texting with Dennis lately. A lot. Doesn't mean anything. Not pushing anything. Just friends. That talk. A lot. Like before. Just without the lovey dovey stuff.
• God is in control! That's not weird or strange either. But that's my mantra.
• If it's in God's will, He'll make it happen. Again, not weird or strange, just truth.
• I've made dinner 2 nights in a row! Now that is not normal.
  
• My friend, Mandy, referred me to a digital photography/scrapbooking/photoshop website. I'm hooked on watching the free tutorials. Hooked I say! The leader of the site has only classes. I just might sign up for the one that starts Monday. Mandy, wanna do it together???
• Even when I try to go to bed between 10 and 11pm, I can't sleep. So I read some. Then I attempt to sleep and toss and turn until about 1am. Then I konk out.
• In fact, that's what I'm gonna do now. I'm gonna finish watching a tutorial, then I'm going to bed. This tutorial is something that I've wanted to know how to do for awhile. And I'm finally learning. Now I'll get to start implementing.
  
• But not now, cause I'm going to bed now.

Night all!
