Lets Give Them Something to Talk About

I don’t know why, or how I do it, but I always seem to take the hardest possible route to get somewhere, thinking all along that it is going to be the easiest.   Yesterday I painted- AGAIN…   Right now, I am pretty sure there are only 4 walls that I haven’t painted in our main living space and I am thinking about touching them up today.   I hate taping.   Taping is such a waste of time when you have laminate trim because it just wipes right off- right?   WRONG!!!   Every other time I have painted, I haven’t worried about taping because it rubs off quickly and pretty painlessly.   That works well on the bottom trim; on trim around windows, it is terrible- if you scrub too hard, the paint comes off the walls (and after 7 coats of paint, that is NOT what you want to happen), if you use a razor blade, it cuts into the trim, there is no easy way to do it other than slow and stead scraping with your finger nails.   So something that could have been ...

Today, there isn’t going to be much of a Bible lesson, instead, it is the lesson that I have been learning in life this past 6 months.   Pressing refresh on my e-mail yesterday I held my breath, no new messages.   Thinking the e-mail had been sent in the split second that it took to re-load that page, I hit refresh again.   Nothing…   All day I was checking my e-mail obsessively waiting for news that would change my life as I know it.   Either I would be going to Grad School, or I would be figuring out the new direction and purpose of my life.   Finally, when I convinced myself it was too late to get the e-mail, it came! In December 2003 when I graduated from college, I had a small desire to continue my education and to get my Masters Degree so I could change the world.   I also had a much larger desire to be done with school and get one with real life, and that course of action won out.   After working at a florist for a short time an...

I am at a cross roads today.   God is going to point me in one direction or another.   Something is going to happen either today or tomorrow that will change my life.   I have been evaluating how I feel about this the past few days.   I haven’t had an appetite; I have checked my e-mail about 600 times since Friday; I have lost sleep knowing that this decision, whether it is what I thing it is going to be or not, is going to change how I have been living; my stomach is in knots and well, frankly I just want it to be over one way or the other!   I keep telling myself to STOP CHECKING MY E-MAIL, but I just can’t.   I feel like I am in limbo.   I HATE being in limbo.   I am someone that likes to have a course set out.   As the destination gets closer, I like to ensure that the course has a direct plan and purpose, but right now, that course isn’t clear.   How do you get through the days when your course isn’t clear?   How do you...
