This Week

The days since my last post have been substantially better in every respect.......
Friday was a really productive day for me. I was feeling MUCH better than just the evening before, and I did a lot of cleaning in my house. Actually, this is probably the cleanest my house ever gets, so that's a good bit of work I put in! Friday night I went out with Lynn Thompson to Fazoli's and then over to Lisa Brock's for coffee with Lynn, Lisa, Jill Osborne, and mi amiga, Alby. All but Alby and I were pastor's wives - there was a men's retreat and all the men were away, so this was a unique opportunity to get together with all these sweet women! It may not ever happen again, so I was truly so happy to be amongst them all!
Saturday I didn't do much at all, but I did go get my eyebrows waxed and I got to Skype with Hannah for over 2 hours! It was wonderful. On Saturday I did seal the grout for the tile in my kitchen and guest bathroom. Since it was so clean from being mopped the day before, I thought it was a good time. One can of sealer doesn't go very far, so I had to stop with just the 2 rooms. I will get more and finish the rest of the house, but I found out the chemicals made me very allergic. I couldn't stop sneezing and scratching my eyes. It was very fumey as well. Blech!
Sunday was a great day at church! The evening service was lead by the college group at church and it was such a blessing to me and to many others - I can't even describe how encouraging and moving it was! The Spirit was definitely in that place that night is all I can say!
And today I had a pretty boring day until the evening, when Lisa Gebhart came over and we went to look at curtains for my house! I came home with a shower curtain that I plan on converting into 2 panels for my bedroom, and there is an awesome display at Bed Bath & Beyond that is in a beach bedroom that will look awesome in my living room! I would have never been all for it until I saw it displayed, and with a sheer in the middle with palm trees on it! I totally could see it working in my house after that. I am going to wait on it, though. It's going to be over $100 for the whole window - cheap for some who do custom windows, but it's a lot for me right now. I was excited to see it, though. We ate a late dinner at Longhorn, then headed home. We ended up talking for about an hour after we got home - she is so easy for me to talk to. I love her!
I have a nice socially busy week planned this week, which I am soooo excited about! Tomorrow during the day I will work on my taxes, then in the evening I get to go to the Hill's for dinner! They are a sweet family who have taken me under their wing a bit and have allowed me to share in their family with them. I relish these precious times with them! I crave that family interaction, which is why I'm so excited to go and visit people in their homes.
Weds starts our women's Bible Study on Esther @ church, and Ali is going to come do it with me! It's going to be a really awesome group of ladies, so I'm really stoked for it!
Thursday is FPU, and I am enjoying it, but I still get really frustrated at not having an income with which to practice the concepts taught in the class. I get so excited and motivated during class, and then realize that I can't do a thing about it because I'm not working. That's a hard pill to swallow. Please never stop praying that the Lord will provide in this area. It affects a lot of different things in my life.......
Friday will be awesome, though. I get to go over to the Cook's for dinner! Pam is an amazing, albeit new friend. She has been someone that I am able to get to know very quickly. She is a wonderful woman in the Lord and has become a valuable asset to me and my life. I love her too!
I am quite sure this post is lengthy. I tried to be concise, but if you know me well enough to read this post, you know being concise is almost impossible for me!
Thank you all for your prayers and support! I love you all!
