More Randomness

My life is so random lately that so are all my thoughts.  Random thoughts take two...

People seemed to be more worried about the color of Mr. Obama's skin that his morals.

I'm I not content with my life or is God leading us in a new direction? I wonder if my new wants or desires of my heart are there from God. It is very easy to become discontent and I don't want or need to confuse the two.    

Where do you draw the line? 

We spent over 40% less this month on our Visa than months past.  We use our Visa for everything and we always pay it off.  Not going out to eat, No starbucks (I can make a pretty good iced coffee now), no scrap stuff (minus a few things for cards) and trying only buying stuff we need. We saved almost a mortgage payment!  We did do some fun stuff we had Sea World tickets and Christmas presents on the Visa last month, although we didn't NEED them.  It's all about attitude. My new motto is, live like no other so you can live like no other. I want to own my house or a house and that is going to take discipline but the pay off is huge.  100% debt free!   

To go back to work or not to?  There are pluses and minuses with everything.  Of course all the planets would have to align for this to happen.  

Apparently we have a new church service time, 9:30 am.  Many people where still walking in 30 minutes late! One lady actual came in and sat down at 9:41, Danny was already preaching!  I have three kids and I don't think I have ever been more than 10 minutes late into church and sitting down.  I have gotten there right at 9 and had to sign everyone into class but really 9:41 church is over at 10:15.  I just don't understand it.  At what point to you just go to the 11 service? Go out to eat breakfast and be early to 11,  not 41 minutes late to the 9 am service.  

Love your neighbor like yourself.  I will not digress onto a soapbox on how to be neighborly or my ideal perfect neighbor.  

Do we stay or do we go?  This is a harsh reality in my life right now. We might be moving in the near future or at least open to the idea of a relocation.  Mark has to find work eventually. Then there is the question where in the world to you go if you have to move?  The job market is slim picking around here for what Mark would like to do.  It really is in Gods hands and I pray he makes it all crystal clear.  Mark has an interview Wednesday in town.   So waiting is what we do for now.

It's good to get those random thoughts written down, helps clear the mind. Makes us all realize that we are not alone (and neither are you)

P.S. Love your new layout-but woman...it's too early for Christmas!

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...

Insecurity

I am reading a book by Beth Moore called So Long Insecurity you've been a bad friend to us. I was asked by a friend to do a book club kinda thing. I agreed just to feel included so many miles away (insecurity?). I am lonely of being in Alabama without my girlfriends and agreed to read this book. I have to say I didn't think I had issues with insecurity at the time I bought this book. I am a pretty secure woman, but as I continue to read I see where we all have some issues with insecurity. For anyone that knows Beth Moore you know she is a no nonsense Christian and is very challenging. I appreciate her openness and honesty. I am really enjoying the book. Mostly because I have two girls that will be women one day. Don't we all want our daughters to be secure? Of course we do. I think Beth Moore has hit the nail on the head! My challenge to all my girl friends is to not worry about what other think and buy a book that is about insecurity and read it! If not for yo...
