LOTS OF STUFF GOING ON...

1. Work is going great! I'm working at USDA - Rural Development! I'm an Area Technician (I know very descriptive)! I really like it! Very different from anything that I've done before but I'm enjoying learning something new! The commute is great! On a busy traffic day it takes me 15 minutes to get to work!

2. I'm also taking classes at UCA this semester! I've had one meeting so far so good! I should be working on homework instead of doing this post but you know :)! I've always liked going to school so I'm looking forward to it!

3. I joined Curves 2 weeks ago! I'm enjoying it. I didn't get to workout last week because I was sick. I'm back into the routine this week!

4. I'm going to St. Thomas and St. John in May! Very excited! I'm going for a friend's wedding! I'll be there 5 days/4 nights! #1 on the list of reasons I joined Curves!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Sickly...

I went to the doctor on Monday! I had/have strep throat AGAIN! Then I got a nasty cough later in the week! Anyway I'm feeling much better today and I'm enjoying a nice quiet snow/ice day! I'm hoping the weekend is just what I need and on Monday I will be all well!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and gets to enjoy the snow!

The Livesay In Haiti...

Some time ago I stumbled upon this blog and it became a regular on my list of blogs I stalk!

I love reading Tara's stories about what it is like raising her kids in Haiti and all the work that they are doing there!

Now after the earthquake the blog has become a day by day look at what's happening on the ground in Haiti.

Here is the blog link! Even if you don't want to read the blog please pray for these people and all of the people in Haiti and on their way to help!

The Perfect Woman...

A woman knelt in prayer,

and in anguish cried out to God.

"Dear Lord, I can't compete in this world,

I am just a simpler woman.

I don't have perfect hair or perfect teeth,

a perfect smile or a perfect figure.

I want so much to fit in with this world

that asks for perfection.

I want to be loved and appreciated and needed

O God, please do something. Change me."

"My dear child, " replied the Lord,

"to Me you are simply wonderful

I accept you as you are.

I knew you even when you were in your mother's womb,

and I have you engraved upon the palm of My hand.

Each part of you was created in My image.

And I am changing you, daily.

But you see, I work differently than the world.

I work from the inside out, and deep within your heart,

I see the beginning of...perfection."

A Few Things...

Today my mom and I went to Wal-Mart & Kroger. I had plenty of milk and bread we went for regular shopping. Anyway both places were pretty busy...Kroger was busier! You know everyone was stocking up on things they "have to have" IF there is snow. Everyone's list is different. My list: Coke, milk and some kind of chocolate.

While we were at Kroger I found something I haven't seen in YEARS, something that my brother and I ate when we were younger and an item we didn't understand why they no longer made! Cinnamon Toaster Strudels..they were good when we were little. The new ones are made with Cinnabon cinnamon...so I'm sure they are SOOOO good! I can't wait to try one! I hope it isn't one of those limited time things.

Oh and Monday I will start my new job! I'm excited! I'm looking forward to getting back to a routine!

So I hope it snows and I hope everyone enjoys the snow!

If God gives you a PURPOSE,

you're ruined for anything else.
