Chill Days

I started reading the book Pursuit of the Holy by Corey Russell this morning, and I am a little blown away so far, and it is basically everything that I need to hear. I had to make myself stop reading it though because I really want to absorb what he has to say instead of just reading through it quickly as I know I can do.

I'm taking a break from work today. I don't have BH tonight, and I decided not to go to my other job today either. This is what I love about having a flexible work schedule.

Also I'm still waiting for the doctors office to call back about getting me in for an appointment, so that might happen today, but who knows.

I feel really horrible because I am not going to be able to celebrate Father's Day with my family. I have to work lunch and dinner on that Sunday, and then I'm leaving that evening after I get off work to go to Springfield for a couple of days. I think that my immediate family is going to probably end up celebrating on a different day, so that makes me feel a bit better.

I made oatmeal raisin cookies last night that are healthy and delicious!! :) I also found a new website with lots of healthy cookie recipes, so I'm excited to try some of them out!!

Another cause for happiness...my Arbonne facewash came in the mail yesterday, so I can now was my face with something besides water!! :)

Also got the family car listed on ebay last night, and we have already had some activity, so I'm hoping that will do well....plus I get commission. :)

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
