Keeping The Faith

Sundays's Quote, before I head off to work:

"True love doesn't just fill your heart, it overflows into your whole body and soul."

Volcanic Eruption

The calm. The calm before the storm.

The stream and molten rock slowly begin to rise.

A small eruption occurs.

The smoldering gases cannot withstand the pressure any longer and the volcano erupts with a violent force.

God grant me the strength I must have and protect my children from the wrath that is bound to bestow them.

I have held them for as long as I can, to make them feel safe. Now I must shield them with my entire being!

Looking Toward Our Future

Our goal for 2008 is to become Debt Free (other than our primary home).

I am SO looking forward to this day, when Lance and I can scream "We are debt free!!!!"

What an amazing feeling that will be!

We are taking Baby Steps and we are on our first, but this is so soothing. To know we are on our way... Wow!

Pray for us and wish us luck!

Faith

"ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?"

That was THE question a stranger walked up and asked me at work last night.

I'm proud to say that I could feel my shoulders go back and my response:

"YES I AM."

"I thought so. I could tell."

...and he casually walked away.

Sunday Morning - Kindness

I have learned that some people just ARE NOT good. Most of these individuals seem to enjoy misery and want you to drowned in it with them.

There are others that radiate goodness. Just by their smile and the light in their eyes. These are the people that make me feel warm and comfortable.

When I must stand and listen ALL DAY LONG to the negativity of the "not so good people" as I work, it makes me feel nerved up, anxious, like I just want to run! Run outside into the sun and fresh air! I know this is what causes my tension, my need for release, my need to be out of that environment.

***Oh My Goodness!!!!****
While I was writing this on paper (Yes. This is one thing I did at work yesterday morning because we were SOOOO busy) a customer went out, down to McDonald's, bought me a hot cappuccino, and brought it back to me. Hot! OMG! Just because I seemed like a "nice" person!

Random acts of kindness girls! Random acts of kindness!

I discovered in my writing that this negative person was pulling me down to her level. As much as I thought it wasn't happening... It was!

Thank you Sir. Thank you for making me stop in my tracks and see kindness, as I watch the negative walk away.

Hey! Maybe this red hair IS working for me! (wink)

Footloose And Fancy-free

Hey Girls!

I'm back! and I'm feeling fine! (There's two more for ya Liv!)

I love it when I have a day filled with accomplishment, but especially when it is unplanned!

When I open up my checking account online to discover there is money in there!

I pay our bills and still have a little money left and know more is coming. Not a lot, but enough.

When I get court paperwork ready, praying God will help us, and that family that also must GO. No pay. No stay. Sorry. Don't get me wrong now. I wish I could afford to offer her a free place to stay, but unfortunately my checkbook doesn't reflect that.

I love it when I read your blogs and you just make me FEEL GOOD! OH, I feel so good! Uh! (I think that was a cheer from high school. :-)

Oh! And I forgot to mention that I am now a dark redhead! No. I am not joking. This blonde is now deep dark brownish red!

Do I like it? hmmmm...... I'll let ya know.

Okay Gals! Keep writing, keep reading, please comment, and as Jenn and Tabba have both reflected: Let's make this world a better place!

Smiles...
