Busy

I have been so busy lately! After my post on Tuesday, I worked at County Line the next Three days! Then saturday, I was at mom's working on Granny and Granddad's slide show for their 62nd anniversary. Then today I went to clean at the Kings. Phew...I'm kinda tired! Lol...I have enjoyed being busy though it gives me a great feeling of acomplashment! :) Now this week hopefully i'll be busy too! I'm so glad God is giving me stuff to do! It's an answer to prayer!
Speaking of Granny and Granddad's Anniversary....62 years is quite the record! Me and Jordan are going to do that! :) You just wait and see! Well, if we live long enough!:P So, I might get to work at the school tomorrow....I sure hope I get to anyway. I like it. The lady's can be a little cranky, but what do you expect? haha... But I really do enjoy it. I get to cook and get paid for it!! Wednesday, I get to keep Ember. :) Happyness!! I love that baby! Tonight, I am going to cook Jordan's favorite meal... Beans, cornbread and fried potatoes! He is silly! Out of all the things in the world that you could have that is his favorite!! Not mine....I don't know what mine is...but NOT beans and cornbread and fried potatoes! More like, Pizza or Mexican or....ICE CREAM!!!!
Well, I'm going to go...
Oh I exercised today! YAY ME!!!!!

emotions~i don't like them. They are so hard to deal with, and they are aggravating. My emotions go haywire all the time. My poor, sweet husband. He is so very patient with me. I am so glad God gave me him! I do not know what I would do without him! At church Mrs. Neal read a story about silver being refined. She said that when silver is put in the fire it has to be in the very hottest spot. Then how the silversmith knows when to take the silver out of the fire is when he can see his reflection in the silver. The point of the story was: we are the silver and God is the silversmith. And the fire....is the hard times in life. When God tells us to give thanks in all circumstances that is the refining process. Cause giving thanks takes a lot of work. When we give thanks, or at least when I give thanks in the hard times, its hard....really hard. But in giving thanks we get such peace. Philippians 4:6-7 "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God and the PEACE of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." What a comfort.... God's peace is going to guard our hearts and our minds!! I love that... cause I think way, way to hard about things. Most of the time my mind is in overdrive. Another element of all this is trusting. Trusting GOD fully. This is hard too. Expecilly if you(like me) like to be in control of things. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths" And with this trusting and the peace that comes with it, comes contentment. Being content in our situation because we are at pease cause we know we can trust God to take care of it. Isn't it cool how it all works? So, all of this comes down to the silversmith seeing his reflection in the silver. God is working all things in our life for good, cause He is working them all in the direction of making us look like His son...the reflection. We are suppose to be like Jesus....And He trusted His father completely, and was at total peace, and completely content (even to death)... and that is our goal, to be like Him. So, the refining process is a must. To take all the inpure things out. The process hurts sometimes though....fire hurts, life hurts.
Now, just so you don't get me wrong. My life is not in the "fire" right now. But, I've just been thinking bout this. And yes I would say I'm in the process of being refined...but I would also say that we all are in some stage of the refinement at all times, if we are God's children. God is trying to teach me to do these things even when life is easy. To give thanks, be at peace, trust Him completely and be content. Even at time in life when I feel like I'm not being useful, He is trying to get me to see that its not about what I do, its about my relationship with Him. And, that even the slow times of life, when He says wait, no, and not now, He wants my complete trust and He wants me to give thanks, and in return He can give me His complete peace and contentment. I think the trade is well worth it. :)

Thursdays

I like Thursdays...they are one of my favorite days! Amy comes over and we have fun! :) Today we are going to make cookies! YAY!!!!
So last Tuesday Jordan got off work early cause his grandparents yard caught on fire and he went to help. Nothing was seriously hurt, they got the fire out in time. Anyway Jordan didn't go back to work, he ended up working on house stuff. We got three holes filled with concrete! YAY!!!
We are making progress!! :)
Oh funny story! Joseph came to help, he comes almost everytime. I enjoy him coming he is fun. Anyway, we were talking bout how Joseph always knows everything...and he said this..." I don't evesdrop, I'm just sitting in the room when people talk and i remember it. And people tell me its Evesdropping!" lol it was funnier in person! :P

Today

I didn't get up until 10:00. I didn't sleep well last night. So i went back to sleep after Jordan left for work. I have just been piddling every sence. Well I started laundry, and picked up the house. That doesn't take to long though! :)
I don't know what my plan for the rest of the day is... hmmm....I think I will just be lazy :)
Well, I'm kind of drawing a blank...so i guess i'm going to go!

Monday

Well, I'm sitting here listening to Odyssey. I can't decide if i want to exercise today. I dislike exercising with a passion. There is nothing fun about it to me. Its painful and just not any fun. But, I think it is something i need to do. God says my body is His temple. I guess i should take care of it huh? :) I just don't like it! bla... but I know that I need it. I have decided to try it once again. ugh. Maybe. No, I really will. Today at least.
Anyhow, on another note I had a lot of fun with Joseph Saturday. We played war and ERS. I won both games of ERS, but the game of war we didn't finish. That game last forever! Saturday night we had a party for Jordan. We had cheesy burgers and cake. Lisa, Stevo, Nanny, Papa, Brandy, Reg and the kiddos came over to Mom's. We had fun! We played kinnect on the Xbox. That is fun stuff. :)

The plan for today is: Finish all the laundry, make my bed with CLEAN sheets, (I love clean sheets!) exercise at some point, and sweep and mop the kitchen. The only one I'm dreading is exercising. Bla bla. haha
Well tata for now! :)

Birthdays

I love Birthdays. They are so fun! Today is This^guys Birthday. He is turning 20! For his Birthday he wanted biscuits and Chocolate gravy. I am not very good at making any kind of gravy but chocolate gravy is even harder in my opinion. I made it anyway and He said it was good. :) Last night i made him steak, mashed potatoes, some more gravy, English peas, and crescent rolls, it was yummy! I also made him a chocolate cake with a moose with pink mittens....that's what he wanted. Haha i think he was kidding but that's what I put on his cake anyway! He loved it. He laughed and couldn't believe I remembered he had said he wanted it. Tonight Jordan is going with his papa and Reg and I think my Dad, to go eat fish. He loves fish and I don't so I'm glad he is going with papa. I am so thankful for Jordan. He is such a blessing to me. He is always there and he is the perfect husband. I love how he can make me laugh even when I'm having a hard day. Thank you Lord for another year with my man! Give me many more years! I LOVE you baby!! Happy happy birthday!!!!
Today is also our 5 month mark. Its been FIVE months!! Crazy huh?
