New Year

January 12, 2010

Wow - I haven't blogged in a while! I think about it every now and then, but it just hasn't been a priority.

Working on all the things that have come my way has been my joy!

I've continued to stay busy enough with Avon to keep it going, unexpectedly got to participate in a grand opening where I got to set up a table to show off XanGo, and then got the chance to build a website for friends at church.

Aglow always keeps me busy, and I'm looking forward to getting all the stuff in my house straightened, sorted and all in order.

I continue every day to be extremely joyful to be unemployed, I am so blessed!

11:11 on 11/11

November 17, 2009

I had promised myself, and told my husband, that the next time the Lord woke me up, I would get up and go meet with Him ~

The other night, when I rolled over to look at the clock, it was 11:11, on 11/11. I got up directly and searched the Word for each and every 11:11.

A couple of the verses really spoke to me as far as being an Aglow leader - the first one was Numbers 11:11, when Moses said to God "Why have you put this burden of these people on me?"

Then in Deu. 11:11, the land where we go is ...

Working My Dreams

November 17, 2009

What a day! What a week! Is it only Tuesday?

I woke at 11:29 last night to write down a dream, and then checked online to see when would be the best time to go out and see the Leonids. I was glad to wake up again at 4:30, and went outside to look up into the sky. I saw about a dozen, maybe just 11, lights in the sky as the particles of...

Roses, Voting, Mission, Working from Home

November 11, 2009

Stopped to smell the Roses in November

It's hard to believe another week has passed - tomorrow will be four whole weeks since I had to report to work at 8am!

It has been incredibly busy, rewarding, exhausting... and I am still loving every minute of it!

It was one day last week when I made the short walk out to the mail box and as I walked by, I smelled the faint perfume of the tiny white roses by the short mud lane that serves as our driveway. I said 'Thank You Lord' for small...

Mission Accomplished!

October 29, 2009

Whew - sorted my entire primary yahoo in-box into appropriate folders - I love an empty in-box! Only when it means I have sorted all the emails LOL! For that box, it was over 2,000 - the biggest task first!

Today is the first day since Feb. 26, 1993 that we have not been the parents of a teenager. Early January it will be over and we will do it again until 2017. A 60 day respite, sure it won't change much, but gives us a breather anyway.

Lots of other things on my plate today, but I don't have...
