Monday's Musings: Get ready folks, I have a lot of STUFF rolling around in this head!!!

Obviously I cannot sleep, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this at 1:20 am.  With this crazy weather, we don't have school tomorrow.  I was supposed to be off tomorrow anyway, but now I won't be charged a personal day - of course, I'm not going to St. Louis as I had originally planned either.  Hmmmmm.....

 Here is a picture out our back french doors, of the sleet this afternoon around 12:30 pm 

We have a LOT more now at 2:00 am

  Another one of my random thoughts has been swirling around in my head for a couple of days.  I typically do not observe Lent.  I decided this year that I would.  A friend of mine started me thinking about it, when I read her FB post.  Another of my FB friends commented on her post, and, well, I just started thinking, then praying about participating or not.  I am one of those prayers that asks for signs (I know, I shouldn't, but part of the "breaking the habit" process is admitting to your faults, right?)  Gary and I decided we wanted to go to church Saturday night at La Croix.  We have been back at Bethel pretty faithful, but we think we can do both every once in a while.  The service mentioned Lent, when it started, its purpose, and that we needed to be in prayer for it.  BAM, can you say - "here's your sign"?  I hadn't been able to "decide" what I would give up for Lent, knowing it needed to be something I would miss, and would truly help me understand what sacrifice is (I know, there is NO comparison to the sacrifice HE made for me).   To the point, I am giving up Chips for Lent.  To some, that isn't a big deal, to me, it is.  Chips are my weakness!  This is something that, with everyone's prayers, I hope to succeed!!  

 

Thoughts on blogging.  I am amazed at how therapeutic this really is!!  It has made me more conscious of a LOT of things.  Don't get me wrong, I am still quick to get aggravated, and have some bitterness about things that are silly (I know, I'm really trying), but this helps!  I have been doing some blog-stalking (Hehehehe, I love it!) and have gotten some really good tips.  Hopefully I don't bore you too much, or ramble too much.  Maybe I can help a little.  Who knows?  I am by no means good at this, but I am not trying to win any writing awards! Ha!

 

 Here's hoping you have an awesome week!  I know I for sure want to try!  Thanks for reading!
