Wondering....

At work on the way to the restroom, there’s a clock on the wall right before you get there. I noticed the other day that I look up at that clock every time I pass it even if I know what time it is. I wondered if I was the only one so yesterday and today, I made it a point watch when someone passed me in the hall if they looked up too – and most people did. So now I’m wondering about the people that do look up, is it because it’s a habit, like I think it is for me or do they not want to make eye contact with someone when they are on their way to the restroom?! (oh maybe that’s why I do it?!) And now I’m also wondering if the people that didn’t look up were wondering why I was looking straight them smiling. Hopefully, they were just pleased with a smile from another UPSer in the hallway.

I know now you're wondering why I'm wondering....

Back to Work :(

So my "stay-cation" is over and it's back to work tomorrow. I'm not happy about it - not one bit! I'm gonna keep on praying that in this time of "no promotions", my boss gets promoted, promoted right OUT of our department!

Even though I didn't go anywhere on my vacation, it was still a good one. It was relaxing.

I had a great day yesterday hanging out with some people that I normally don't hang with. I had a good time at both of the cookouts/parties that I went to and I hope there are many more to come.

Church was awesome today. God's presence was strong in both services. Pastor Don didn't get to preach in the 1st service, but in the 2nd he brought forth a great message! "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" how true is that!

Isaiah 26:3

Tonight at church, we had a concert with Eddie James Ministries. It was such an awesome concert and I really got a lot out of the service. At one point, Eddie was talking about Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You

I talk to people everyday and even have ones that are close to me struggle with depression and trouble in their mind and sometimes it scares me to even think that I would ever need pills or medication to give me peace of mind or even help me get a good nights rest because of worry. Even just today at work the girls were talking about having to take a sleeping pill because of worry. Lord, I pray that I can keep my mind STAYED on You and only You because I want I need Your perfect peace! Help me to stay focused on You! And Lord help me to have the courage to tell my friends and family that struggle with this that You are the only one that can bring peace!

Camping

The Outhouse
The Tent

This past weekend I went camping with some real good friends. This was not my 1st time going with them. I went two years ago. That year I had borrowed a tent from my sister. I had no idea what kind of tent it was so when we got there and put it up, I was like “no way am I sleeping in that!” I think it was specifically made for little people and plus, the full size mattress that I had borrowed from my sister that year, would not fit in it. Not sure if I was thinking clearly that year. SO, this year, I was on it! I was asking around to see who had a nice big tent I could borrow. Luckily, another friend of mine’s brother offered up his. He said “it’s a 4-5person tent” so I was like “hot dog; I’ll have me a big ole tent this year!” Fast forward after the trip – 4-5 person tent? I think not! Tent makers lie and I think I’m going to have to invest in an 8-10 person tent! I will say that is was bigger that the previous year and it did keep me dry when it rained. All in all good times at the camping trip! Of course I could do with out the outhouses but, I do believe, I’ll be doing this every year!
