grrr Rudeness.

Do you ever experience outright rudeness from co-workers? I just hate it! I mean if you don't like someone, fine; but to be boldfaced rude is totally uncalled for. For someone to call your office, and when the person they wanted isn't available to say "No, I don't want her!" very sarcastically and then to add "she doesn't know anything" well that is just rude and uncalled for!

procrastination

So "No Perfect People Allowed" series is amazing! Every week I notice more and more about where I am at, and where I should be. This week was all about procrastination... come on who doesn't love a last min. rush every once in a while??? But seriously, there are a lot of places that I procrastinate: work (blogging at work... I think so), cleaning/unpacking (yes I moved in in August... No my bedroom still isn't unpacked), and lately my bible study/quiet time... now it's not that I don't want to do all of these things, it's just that I never seem to want to do them now!

Last night, I was so frustrated b/c I was hosting my small group, rushed home from work, did some last min. pick of/dishes and waited..... and waited... and waited. Apparently no one was coming. I initially was irritated because I did all this and no one even appreciated it. Then i thought more and figured people were busy, but they just should have let me know. I kept thinking, maybe I am wrong and have chased them away, maybe I'm a horrible leader, maybe... the list could go on forever. This got me thinking, I hadn't really prepared like I should have for the group, was this God's way of telling me I need to get on the ball and get stuff done? I think so.

How frustrated must God be with me that this was the only way he could get through to me! *Slap* I felt it. That stinging sensation when someone smacks you down and tells you how it really is. Yup procrastination and laziness once again got me down and humbled. See the members in my group I know have good hearts, crazy schedules, and are busy. It does not matter that I get in trouble at work for leaving in time to be there, or that I prepare (when I do), or that I took the effort to make sure my apartment was spotless for them. I should be happy they make it when they do. I don't need recognition for anything I do from any of them.

1 Samuel 2:3

"Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.

Yes Thank You God for humbling me!

Dogs are just the cutest! I love my sweet Pixie and she never ceases to amaze me with her cuteness. This morning, I was getting ready for work, we had out 5 min cuddle time and I put her back in her blanket where she sleeps when I'm not home. I finished gathering all my stuff, walked out to the front door, and one of my sandals was missing. Now 10 min ago they were both sitting next to each other right where I took them off. In the 5 min it took me to gather my stuff, Pixie went to the door, picked up one of my sandals and carried it to her blanket. She often does this, she never chews them, she just hides them from me. I guess this morning, she didn't want me to leave. I used to get upset by this, but now I just find it adorable that she does this as her little game and wants to keep me around.

How can you not find this face just adorable?

Seasons

I love it when the seasons change, I love the transition from what was to whats new. The part I am not so fond of is that I live in south Texas and we have no seasons.... j/k but really what I don't like, is that it always causes unrest in my soul. Now this is usually a good thing, but I am often reluctant to plunge ahead with the changing of myself. This year is different in that I have seen so much change already happen, but I am increasingly aware that I have such a long way to go. some of these include:

• Changing how I handle $. Quit spending and start saving and sharing.
• I need to eat better/work out more
  
• I need to get back to devotional time everyday
  

Really I need to get some willpower and motivation. I have noticed overall I have gotten lazy in how I am handling everything and that needs to change.

I love the God is working on my heart, preparing me, and showing me, but like the seasons here in Texas... there isn't much consistency in my life.

relaxing weekend

This weekend I had such a good time. It was low key, by myself time away from the stress and day to day stuff at home... plus I got to spend it with 3 amazing doggies. They are my small, medium, and large all in one room! Who can ask for more? Beautiful setting, sweet puppies, time with God Loved it all!
