public lewdness on aisle 7

So the other day my husband was laughing hysterically at something I had said in the shampoo aisle of HEB. He was actually squatting down on the floor in hysterics so I decided to do what any decent wife would do and knock him over. And since he was now laying on the floor laughing, I decided to jump up on top of him and hold him down. Since that wasn't enough to shut him up I proceeded to lay down on top of him and start kissing him. That shut him up. Temporarily. I believe the next words out of his mouth were "woman, you're gonna get us arrested!"

please pray for me

When you can stand no more, stand some more.

oh great

what a difference a day makes... shouldn't have said anything..... we'll see how strong my resolve is to keep the joy in the face of adversity

who's doing it?

Somebody out there is praying for me, ALOT. God is restoring my joy this week. I have been begging for that for months now. I just found myself dancing to a Cutting Crew song from the 80's while making spaghetti. I dance when I am happy. God is so big. Whoever the culprit is, don't stop!

memory lane

You guys should remember this place! (well, most of you) It's our recording studio!! Well , it was our recording studio...
I was looking at my photography website that I hadn't touched in a year and came across this pic. Man, we had some good times there...

today

I was up at church from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, only leaving once to pick up lunch. I worked both english services at the desk, then went to spanish church, then we had G1 (about 150 people served), then went to the end of the agents/leaders in action meeting. Despite having a sore butt(i think from wearing high heels for half a day, but not sure...)and tired feet, I had a really fun day. Had a few really good conversations with some cool people. Met some cool new people, and had some good laughs. It's fun to serve. If you aren't involved, I encourage you to get involved, it's good for you.

Tonight I was asked if I was an independent person - I obviously answered yes. Duh. I then was told that that has to go away to do my job effectively. I am fiercely independent and value that AND my freedom. Is it worth it to give it up and join the fold to contribute to the bigger picture? Will I lose the spark and passion and uniqueness that comes with being your own boss? Do I really want that? Is it a sacrifice I'm willing to make? Am I really supposed to?
I feel like a wild horse that everyone is trying to tame...

friday

So about 1:30 this morning the India team text messages me needing some information; of course I was almost asleep, but out of pure curiosity had to get up to see who it was. Then had a hard time getting back to sleep mode, then a few hours later the storm woke me up. I'm tired now.
Had lunch with my mother and brother and sister in law today. Up at church we weren't very productive because the lightning killed the internet connection up there for most of the day.
Think I'm gonna go read this phonebook sized textbook my boss is having me read and maybe it will put me to sleep. I'll send Josh to go collect the girls from their various friday night activities...
We have another vb tournament at 7:20 am tomorrow. Thankfully it's the 2nd to last one of the season.

friends

Our church is getting so big, and our time is getting so short. I think now is the time to start building those family relationships we all keep putting off. I know we are all busy, but we need each other. God put us around other people for a reason. We have to have a sense of community or we can get really isolated in our busyness. We absolutely must make it a priority to keep relationship with one another. I think we're failing miserably in this area. I need people around me right now. I need to surround myself with people who believe in my dreams who can share my struggles and help carry my burden. I want to be that person for you too.

cool link

update from India team

"We made it! Right now on our way to church & I'm crying as beggars hold their children up to beat on the windows that they purposely maim at birth to get money. They go from one side to the other. Went shopping in a market - tell pastor Joe there ain't no Nordstrom's!!
Love to all June and Mom"

guess what

I made it through my driving probation of 3 months with no speeding tickets! This means I get that last one dismissed that I went to court and fought. Remember? Yay for me!
