Change the constant that keeps us hoppin'

I am a creature who generally does ok with change. Sometimes I think my spirit seeks it. I am constantly keeping my life in a state of action. Rarely do I let the dust settle, and if I do it is not for long. I imagine that this character quality makes being my friend, Mother, sister, husband or son, a little bit challenging. So far no one has strung me up, although I do occasionally get the hairy eyeball, or at least a gently spoken word of caution. Bless your hearts, Mom, Sis, Jeff, friends and my beloved boys, I really am lucky to have you.

On another note, I do however wonder sometimes why it is necessary to endure so much of it. I try to look at every bump or turn in the road as an opportunity, but some days..... change feels icky. It is one thing to complicate my own life, but when things outside of my control (which is a lot, lol), happen, and impact me, I have a choice. Choice number one, go with the flow, be optimistic, look for the upside, flex and bend, make it work. Choice number two, pout, get sad, make myself miserable, etc..... I will likely choose choice number one, but I may wallow in choice number 2 for a day or two.

God clearly likes to keep us on our toes. We have to trust that his plan is greater than ours. He has the 40,000 ft few, where I am limited in how far I can see. Trust, have faith, believe, that what ever is meant to be will glorify him. Play my part. Some days that is a big order.

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 believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God. I bel...
