A Day in The Life of a Moody Person

First a shout out to mister "TATE". Thanks so much for mowing the lawn. What a blessing that was.

So it's monday. Back to work and regular life. Me and Annie and Becki went San Antonio for the the weekend. We had a fabulous time and we talked about everything we could come up with. I was scared for a moment and thought we had run out of things to talk about but I guess we were just taking a moment to think about "ATLANTIS" and then we started talking again. It's always fun to see people's family, you know to kinda see where they "came from". Annie's aunt Susie and uncle Rudy let us stay with them and they cooked us breakfast both days. It was so yummy. I wish I had an aunt and uncle. My mom is an only child, so I guess i'll just have to keep wishing!!

Everybody needs to start studying because I'm gonna do one of those quizes like Becki did and I expect nothing less than 100's!!!

So sorry I haven't posted in a while. Work has gotten busy busy. The full time receptionist quit so now I am running the front desk full time. I like it a lot because it's not as boring as what I used to do, but it's a lot more responsibility so I have to stay on top of things to make sure they get done.

Today is my mom's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I don't think she reads this but just in case.

Interesting antecdote of the day: Ok so I work at a dr.s office. I tell people to sign in and take and seat. Probably 90% of the time people say ok and then tell me they are gonna go to the bathroom real quick. There are two reasons why I don't understand this: 1) No dr.'s office is that quick. You never sign in and then get called to come back right then. You have a good 5-10 minutes if not more time to sit in the waiting room and twidle your thumbs. 2) I really don't care. That is just too much info for me. So the nurse goes to get you and you are not there, her first thought would be that you are in the bathroom. So don't worry just do your business and leave me out of it!!!

Have you joined the new dance revolution? Well, come on get with the program. So my mom and little brother are here. He brought his PS2 DDR2 game. It is so much fun. At first I wasn't very good, but I'm making progress. Some of the songs are really hard. But I think it is good exercise and good for your foot eye coordination, and hey we all could use a little more of that!!!

So things are happening at work. The other receptionist found another job so I will take over the front desk full time. I think it is going to be good. It will be more of a challenge than what I do now is, so that's good. I'm a little scared because it is a lot of responsibility but I really think I will enjoy it.

Spring is here!! I love spring it is my favorite season. The weatheris usually nice. And all the flowers a blooming. It is so beautiful. Josh hates spring because it is his worse allergy season. He will suffer until the end of June. Poor guy. I am excited because we are going to put the pool up soon so it will have time to warm up before summer time. I love having a pool at my house. Somebody was a genius. This is what our pool looks like. It is huge. I think it is 15'x30'. We are gonna have a blast this summer!!!

I have been such a slacker lately. I'm sorry. I hope that you all (2) can forgive me :{ That's me with my big mustache!! I don't really have anything exciting to say. I must have writers block or something like that.

Ok to all my readers (don't act surprised that I have so many devoted fans) I must say that I have the best little brother in the whole world. (Dougie, you may not want to read this because I'm probably going to embarass you!!) Ok so here's the scoop. He is 15, a straight A student, plays almost every musical insturment ever invented and is a poet. He is just AWESOME!!!! Everytime I think about him I just smile. Just the thought of how great he is makes me all happy and tingly. Sadly though we do live in different towns and I miss him terribly. He is growing up so fast and soon he will be graduated and off to college. Or he may be on the road touring with his band. Either way it will all happen too soon. But I really can't wait to see what he does with his life and where the Lord will take him. I know that God has great plans for him and I am so excited to see what they are. Thanks Dougie for being the best little brother in the whole world. I can't wait until spring break either, we are gonna have a blast.

Here is the link to his website that has some of his poetry. You are gonna wanna stop by and read it and be amazed!!

So today is Sunday the 19th. On Wednesday the 8th I found out that I was pregnant again. I was excited but a little reserved since the last pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Well by Monday I had miscarried again. So this last week has been really hard. The title of the post comes from the Tree 63 song that says "Every blessing you pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in Lord still I will say blessed be your name." This song really helped me the first time and it is helping this time. I have to realize that God is still a good God regardless of what my circumstances are. He will always be there and still loves me regardless of my pain and suffering. He will heal my heart and my suffering will be for His glory. "You give and take away, my heart will choose to say blessed be your name." That is what I choose. I want to praise Him in the middle of my tears. I want to show the world that even though for reasons I cannot know or understand my God is still good. I live in a sinful and fallen world. But my God will always be here. And He will meet me in the midst of my suffering. He cries when I cry and rejoices when I rejoice. Thank you Lord that you gave me this second child if only for a moment. Thank you that my baby is in heaven with you and that one day i will get to see them both.

Well, today in church Greg talked about worship. About being undignified in our worship. Being free to express our love for the Lord. Not worrying about what others think and not trying to live up to some kinda Christian ideal, or go the other direction and being stagnent in our worship. That there is freedom in our church. Which there really is. That is one of the main things I love about my church is that there is freedom to be who we are in Christ. To follow as the spirit leads. So he talked about raising hands, kneeling, dancing, laying on the floor. All things that are mentioned in the Bible concerning worshipping the Lord. King David danced in the streets. And he wasn't concerned with anyone who had the thought that he wasn't acting like a king. He was praising his Lord.

I had some thoughts along this same line last week. When I was at church during worship last week there was a person behind me who was very vocal in their praising of the Lord. Saying things and during one song actually crying. At first I was a little annoyed. It was a distraction and I was trying to worship too. But then I realized how wrong I was. This person truly loved the Lord and was expressing that. And then I asked myself why I couldn't do that? Why was I so stagnent in my love for the Lord? It is a question that I am still trying to answer. Why am I so afraid of what people will think is really the bottom line. Why can't I be unhindered with my God.

So as you read this I want you to ask yourself what Greg asked all of us. First he said that demonstartive worship has nothing to do with your personality. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert. It has to do with the overflow of your heart. So he mentioned that today was superbowl Sunday and he told us to watch how people and ourselves are when watching a football game and think why can we not express our love to the Lord of the universe, the God that saved us from eternal damnation the same way we express when someone makes a touchdown????

Thoughts???
