Change again, DRAT!

How do you handle change? Does it stress you out? Does it make you lose sleep, or get stomach aches?? I can handle change ok, once I am sure what the change is going to be. Where I have trouble is, "limbo land". Not knowing how things will work out, not being sure what the change will look like, stresses me out beyond belief. It often seems that changes happen in bunches for me. Never one thing at a time. So now I have a few of our "changes" settled, and whooooop, out of no where drops a big one, that impacts all of the other things I thought were all settled. Now how do I handle that one??? Well I already have a stomach ache, and I can feel the stress building. Of course, I feel like this is a test of my faith. Can I let go of the stress and trust that God will see us through, and that it will all work out as it should? He has proven to me over and over that he cares and will intervene on our behalf if I am faithful and prayerful. His solution isn't always what I have in mind, but it is usually better than my plan anyway. Faith has gotten me through some pretty rough times, and I know if I choose His strength instead of my own strength, His wisdom instead of my own, then all will work out. So I'd better get busy praying so I have a shot at sleeping tonight. :) (Don't worry friends, there is nothing horrible going on, just something that will take some creative thinking, and lot's of optimism.)

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I confess, I am a habitual cliff jumper

If ever there were a person who was less afraid of change than I am-- I have yet to meet them.  In fact, I would call myself a "change seeker", a habitual "cliff jumper".  That mentality comes with many a flaw: It makes it difficult for me to stick to a boring, or stressful task. It makes it very difficult for me to defer to the authority of others, I am not sure why that is, it is a rule breaker mentality I suppose. I have trouble with "negative nellie's", or those who must always play "devil's advocate." My brain says YES before it fully processes information. While all of those flaws must seem horrifying to the average person, me not so much. Not being an over analyzer frees me from many a burden: I don't have to know the outcome before leaping, so it opens me up to success.  It opens me up to failure too, no doubt, but I can process failure and move on better than most people. I don't freak out when inevitable ...
