$20 Dollar Bill


So I had to drive this am to Charlotte, yes at a lovely 4:40 in the morning!!!! not very fun, but anyways. On my way I was listening to one of the Christian radios that came on, and it was this lady teaching to women. She was sooo funny!! but anyhow, she mentioned something that kinda got stuck with me, so I'd thought I'd share. She said.... (I'm paraphrasing of course..lol)  "A $20 dollar bill will always be a $20 dollar bill even if you crinkle it, and spit on it, and write on it, you can drag it across the mud if you wanted to, but it will still be a $20 dollar and it will still have value, so that you may use it. ( although many people may not be too happy about taking it..lol) In the same manner, we are the same way. When I accepted Christ as my Savior, I became his child. I may get thrown around, I may sin, I may disappoint,  I may have some really low days and think that I am completely worthless...but in God's eyes I AM STILL HIS CHILD AND I STILL HAVE VALUE!!!!
It was really cool, cuz lately I've been struggling with "being worth" if that makes sense. I know that God has a will for me, it's just going very slow for me, so i get a bit frustrated at times :-) but I'm so glad that even at 4am God can still speak to me!! :-) hehe...

ok back to work...hopefully i won't fall asleep before noon, cuz I'm SOOO taking a nap!!! :-)

Back in the swing of things?

I don't know if I can say that I am back. Traveling this past week really messed up my schedule. We got home and had TONS of mail! So today I had the joy of going through everything. :(
Today was a bit rough. I'm really glad that Matt is with me today and tomorrow to get over these bitter moments! We're really having issues on selling our house and just ironing out inspection items and such:( it's been a real hard stress. However today when I was reading my devotions it was like was God was slapping me upside the head :) I read the verse where it says (paraphrasing) give me your burdens, take my yoke, it is easy. It's like. Why do I worry! Why to I hesitate and question? God has done wonderful things in my life, and has provided miracously! Why am I stressing because I have to fix something or because things aren't going my way! Why do I like to carry my own burdens when I don't have to? Silly me :)
I know that tomorrow will be another day in which He will be faithful!:)
Well I guess off to bed now. I definitely need some rest. :)

I just love my nephew!!! He's so full of joy some times :) i loved watching him help my dad and playing with the water. I'm going back to Fayetteville tomorrow, so I'd thought I'd share a bit of Esteban :) I know that next time I'll see him he'll have some new tricks up his sleeve :)

Blogging part DOS....

Since my last failure of blogging, I never thought i would try it again!! LOL. However, my husband is deploying and I figured it would be a cool thing for him to read my daily struggles and laughs. :-) I will try my best to post as much as possible.
Feel free to comment and give me ideas as to what to post!! you would think a woman wouldn't have a problem blogging, but for some reason I really struggle!! ok back to work now....
