Hi everyone , Its been a while

Hi everyone. Its been a while since I updated this blog.

My family is doing okay, my grandfather died about 2 weeks ago, that was rough(but also okay), I have moved again, got married, and currently considering going back to finish my BA .


For the next month or so I am working on posting 3x a week. Today is day 1.

I decided to post things that made me think.  This is the first one that came to mind.


Proverbs 1-New International Version (NIV)

Purpose and Theme

1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

² for gaining wisdom and instruction;
    for understanding words of insight;
³ for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
    doing what is right and just and fair;
⁴ for giving prudence to those who are simple,^[a]
    knowledge and discretion to the young—
⁵ let the wise listen and add to their learning,
    and let the discerning get guidance—
⁶ for understanding proverbs and parables,
    the sayings and riddles of the wise.^[b]

⁷ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
    but fools^[c] despise wisdom and instruction.

Pax to all

Today, my blog post is a little fractured.

1) It's the Jewish New Year, "SHANA TOVA UMETUKA - BLESSINGS FOR A GOOD AND SWEET NEW YEAR".

2) Today, I had an actual quiet time with G-d today. The day felt different. I am working on getting back into my quiet time on a daily basis.

The Beth Moore study yesterday talked about 6 "Mighty Makers" the 1st one Struck a huge chord with me. (MM)#1 Paraphrased. "the audacity to make an unseen Savior the Supreme romance of our lives."

So I decided that I am going to have a Great Romance with Jesus. No, I'm not going crazy.

According to Webster's, with some tweaking from me,  Romance is : chivalric love and adventure, a prose narrative treating imaginary characters involved in events remote in time or place and usually heroic, adventurous, or mysterious (3) :  a love story especially in the form of a novel (that sound like the BIBLE to me!)

Romance is not about the physical stuff or the easy things, no! Its hard, an adventure.

Jesus is Perfect! How much more romantic can it get? I get to deepen my relationship with him, and its not that hard, sounds good to me. 

Someday, my hope is that the Lord finds me the perfect man; one who lives here on earth in the physical form and is my soul mate.But for now, I am just going to work on my relationship with Jesus. This time he (Jesus/God) has to find the man, I'm not looking.

Friday!!- Saturday

Today I have no school. :)
However, that does not mean that I am being lazy by any means. I have already been to Belleville and back. I have a baby sitting job this evening. The little one I am watching is a brilliant 2.5 year old.

I am trying to get my phone fixed, I have had several phone calls to customer support. I need to make one more. :(

I need to go grocery shopping, the menus are planned for the week. :)

Tomorrow, I am going to be running around like crazy, my schedule looks something like this:
7:00 am  Get up
7:15 breakfast
7:30 Shower
7:45ish check to see if dinner is in the oven
8:00 Be on the road headed to a different town
8:30-13:00 Church related class
(after this is subject to change if I don't get the groceries today.)
13:30 arrive home
14:00 start reviewing for Mondays class quiz #1
15:00 break for "tea"
15:45 back to studying
16:30 start prepping for dinner
17:00 dinner
17:45ish start doing dishes
18:00 check laundry
18:30 lay out clothes for Sunday
18:45 find directions for church
19:00 start the wind down process
20:00 head to room
23:00ish Lights out.

So tomorrow is a very busy day, but, its better than being bored.
The next few Saturdays are the same, different activities but the same amount of things to get accomplished.

Mothers Day

Today in the USA is Mothers day.

I have an awesome Mom. She has always rolled with the punches and life continues to throw them. She just keeps on going. This has not been the easiest year, and yet she still keeps at it. Life takes the 4P's ( Prayers, Practice, Perseverance, and Patience) according to my MOM. Her Faith hasn't been shaken. I am proud of her.

I also have people who I consider 2nd Moms. They are people who keep me grounded. You know who you are. Thank you. I email you out of the blue when life gets nuts, when there is too much drama and I need to vent, when the punches (life) knock's me on my butt and my mom doesn't have the life experience to understand. You just listen and then give me a hand back up. Thank you so much.

There are women of Faith who have no children that I consider "mom" too. Some of you have no idea that I think of you as Mom. You let me be a child when I was growing up too fast. You made sure I had a break in some of the most challenging times in my life.  I don't know if you will ever read this.

My life is not simple, but I am very blessed, by the strong women of faith who keep me on track.

Happy "Mothers" day.

It's a beautiful day

The sun is shining.

My alarm actually went off .. and I heard it.

The hot water is working in the house

The internet is working in the house both on the desktop and on wifi.

A friend of mine challenged me to 5 days of positive posts. 3 each day.  I think I may try to continue longer than 5 days .With a modification; one each day  after Monday.

Positive thinking has anecdotal evidence that says "if you start your day positive that is how the rest of the day will follow." I'm not sure I completely agree with that. There are certain things you cannot control and have no business doing so. But, You can almost always control your reaction to them.

So, For Today I am going to look on the positive side. And get a cup of coffee.
