Get your gloves on!

I think it's safe to say. . .
I've. Been. In. A. Funk.
Dragging, Knocked down - but not out, Been whooped, Beat up, Kicked around, Wallowing, Not in a good mood.
Surprised?
I know, I'm supposed to be the nice one - always smiling and sunshiney. Keeping things running smoothly. Ever the peacemaker. But I'm not feeling it. At least not lately.

So, what am I going to do about it? Well, for starters, I'm not going to listen to the lies anymore. You know the ones. The ones that come through your mind when things aren't the way you think they should be. The ones that make you question things like your job, your ministry, your spouse, your family, your world. . .
I'm going to kick back. I'm going to walk/run/push until I can feel/see/taste/smell a change - especially in my attitude. I'm going to pray harder than ever. I'm going to speak the truth - quote the Word. Do everything to stand and stand firm! I'm going to take time for myself. I'm going to say 'no' more. And I'm going to come out stronger in the end.

It won't be pretty - I know. A fight never is. But I (we) do have a promise of "overwhelming victory" in Romans 8:37. It's a call to action - and I better get my gloves on! What about you?

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility. I am a Promise, With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality! And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up? That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning. Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work. No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05. But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up. I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then? After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it. Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection. The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 m...

Winter Storm 2011

Well, I think we're going to make it. The threat of 5 inches of snow is now past - and we've not missed a single moment of electricity or heat. The biggest dilemma at our house is that the Xbox won't play right now. Kid #1 continues to ask "What are we gonna do today?" and we finally answered with "Nothing!" I do need to introduce you to the newest members of the family. . . The two tetras have been around for several years and just got upgraded to a bigger tank. They have now been joined by 2 beautiful guppies and a molly. None of them have been named yet, but I'm putting in my vote today: the black one should be 'Vader' (as in Darth), and I think the guppies should be Phineas and Ferb. The tetras would have to be 'Peat' and 'Repeat' since you can't tell the difference between them. What do you think? (Which is funny that I ask, because a. you probably won't respond and b. they're not my fish to name) I...
