One Of Those Weeks

The Bad:

- A job opportunity I was really hopeful about didn't work out. Ironically, I volunteered to work at the church three days this past week instead of my usual two, and after hearing this news, I had to go volunteer. Was NOT easy, but I pray I reflected Christ even in the midst of all of this.

- Last night (Saturday) I was on my knees taking a DVD out of the player to put another disk in, I lost my balance and the left side of my face slammed into the shelf that my DVD player is on. Now I have a "lovely" purple(ish) black bruise there. Had to pile on the powder before church today. And yes, it HURTS.

-Friday was a rough volunteer day, had to re-do some copies and refill boxes WITH said copies that took me about an hour to do (unknowingly with the "bad" copies) the day before. Was SO happy when the day was over!

The Good:

- Liz and DK found out they are having a baby girl!

- The AWESOME amount of love I got when the job didn't work out. My friends are incredible!

-Movies starring Patrick Dempsey.

-Flashpoint DVD's

- LOTS of crankin' up Michael W. Smith

-The start of another softball season for Alexis! Played their first game yesterday and won! Lexi made some awesome plays and every time she would look over at us to see our reaction...And the smile she got on her face....Man, I'm so proud! SHE was proud, and she had every right to be! Nothing like letting go of frustrations from a tough week by screaming your head off at a softball game! Felt GREAT! Got some sweet love from Austin while he sat in my lap for part of the game too...Love being an Aunt!

- A Golden Girls marathon today

Wrap-Up:

In a nutshell, the job news really affected me all week. And honestly, I'm still processing it. I'm confident however, that God will lead me where He wants me and open the right doors in His perfect timing! Please keep praying for me. All that said, looking at the list of "good," I have LOTS to be grateful for and excited about!

This week WILL BE BETTER! I'm claiming it now! :-) Have a great one!

Love!!!!!

I may be single, but I have a relentless Lover. He created the Heavens and the Earth and everything on it. And before and after all of that, the Creator of the Universe....Is madly and deeply in love.... With me. Wow.

Wanna know something else? He's madly in love with YOU as well!

"I have loved YOU with an everlasting love!" Jeremiah 31:3

Incredible feeling, isn't it! Soak it up....You are LOVED today and forever!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Another Music Monday!

I come with two more recommendations for your music library:

Fall Over Me by Jon Bauer

This was going to be the only one I posted because I just can't stop listening to it! I end up either cranking it up and singing out with it just worshiping, Or I end up on my knees pouring my heart out to God. This song takes you to the Alter and keeps you there! AMAZING!!!!

However, I couldn't NOT include this one:

Lift Me Up by The Afters

Such an awesome, awesome promise in the words of this song that I have found myself clinging to these past few weeks! Be reassured and comforted with this one!

And yes, both are available on Itunes! Crank 'em up!
