Only Time....
I guess its been awhile since I have done anything on here..... lifes been a little bit hectic lately, but really when isn't life a little bit crazy!! :-) If only there were more than 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week and especially 2 or 3 days in a weekend. Every time the week find myself longing for the weekend, only to wake up on Monday morning and realize that its gone already. Working on Saturdays does that I guess. Sunday has quick become my absolute favorite day of the week, and going to a church that I love and spending time with my family are just huge bonuses!!! I am always wishing for 2 Sundays instead of just one!!!
Do you ever have those amazing days off that fall exactly when and where you need them, and you are so excited to have the day off and there is so much stuff you are gonna get done and then all of a sudden its like 7 pm and you have absolutely no idea where the day went or what exactly you got done with your time..... Yeah that was sorta my day today..... I had to work this morning but I had no school today for Veterans Day, and i was soooo looking forward to today and now as I am sitting here I have no idea what happened to the day. I do know I worked on more college stuff, its seemingly forever endless still. Although I did clean off my poor mothers dining room table of all the college info more than half went into the trash, so i guess that is a good thing. I now only have one small pile of manila file folders on the table!!! I guess you could say that is progress. :-)
I went and voted last week!! that was a grand new experience, even though I did not get my choice for president, I will stand behind this man, and I will pray for him as God wills it.
My brother left for Mali, Africa last week. I can't help but be a little bit jealous that he has this amazing opportunity, I would give anything to have the time and the opportunity to be in Africa at all, let alone for 2 whole months. But i guess I will have time someday..... Lord willing. I will be in prayer for my brother though that God will use him, to the best of his abilities, and that his heart will be broken with the things that break the heart of God. All of my blessings, prayer, and support go to you Adam.....
If you can't tell I am a little bit crazed about Operation Christmas Child.....its all over my page!!!! And I LOVE it!!! the opportunity to give a child the only gift they will ever receive and to tell them about God's love in Jesus Christ is so amazing. If you have time I highly encourage you to DO A SHOEBOX!!!!!! Collection week starts on Monday.I have been there, I have given these gifts to these children, and if you had seen what I have you would do as many shoeboxes as you could, because it does make a difference!!!! Almost 3 years ago I set off on a life changing trip to Belize with OCC to hand out shoeboxes and what I saw has forever changed me. I will never be the same. Thank You Jesus!!!
DO A SHOEBOX...CHANGE A CHILD'S LIFE FOREVER

Oy, we need to do shoeboxes this week!! (thanks for the reminder) The day you were having when you wrote this post is a regular occurance with me. WAY too many times lately I've found myself scratching my head around dinnertime going "How is it possible to fill so many hours with what seems like nothing??" I do agree, though, that sundays are truly a gift.
and, oh yeah...the dining room table is like ALMOST totally cleaned off! Just a leeeetle bit more to go...
whatever MOM>>>>>>>
