I work so hard

A coworker of mine took this picture of me the other day at work. My bestie Nikki gave me some 3D glasses, and I found them in my purse yesterday and was just playing around. Enjoy :D

Have a Wacky Wednesday!!

Faith

Last night Chris came home and told me that he wanted to talk to me about some things. Naturally I thought I was in trouble for not 'calling so-and-so' or 'forgetting to do such-and-such'. I am the biggest procrastinator AND for some reason, it is hard for me to get the motivation to do ANYTHING unless it seems important to me at the time. It is definitely something I need to work on, but this time I was off the hook. This was something serious though.

Chris basically told me he was not going to be working with the school he is employed with right now next year. He has had a lot of issues with this organization and a few of his employers this year. I'm not going to go into great detail about it all, but he has had a road block in the form of his principal ALL year. She is the most unpleasant woman! She is on a feminist power trip and challenges a lot of the men in the organization, Chris especially, and is not making some very integral decisions.

Anyway, the point is that Chris will not be working there next year, and he does not have a job lined up in its place. He has some options that he is looking into, and we will be more than okay if he has to go without a job for a few months because of our investments, but the unknown is kind of unsettling. Well, last night as Chris and I were laying in bed, I felt God soo strongly tell me to pray for Chris. **A little side note--I am very self-conscious about praying out loud, EVEN in front of my husband...I just feel like I sound stupid, and that my prayers are really basic. I know, I know, I really need to work on that. As I was laying next to Chris, I was battling God in my head. I didn't want to make myself vulnerable. Finally, I said (in my head, of course), "God, I'm not going to be selfish. Who am I to keep your word from Chris. If he needs to hear this, use me." I held Chris in my arms and I prayed. It wasn't a long prayer, nor was it an eloquent one. I thanked God for his love and his blessings. I told him that Chris and I aren't afraid of what is gonna happen in our future, and that we know that HE is our provider, not our employers. I thanked him for always meeting our needs. That was it. With that one small prayer, everything felt so much better. I felt more confident about our future, and I think Chris felt more at peace.

Yay for listening to God and being proactive. God, you rock.

Little Update

WOW this has been a busy couple of weeks! I finally have a day of and all to myself today! YAY! I have been sitting on my couch cuddled up in a fluffy blanket all day, drinking pink lemonade and watching trash tv. I have been sooooo exhausted for a while now because of work, keeping up the house and other commitments, and haven't really had time to recharge. Last night I fell asleep at 9:30pm, and I didn't wake up until 9:30 THIS MORNING!!! I can'e believe I slept 12 hours. Needless to say, I feel great today.

Since I last blogged, my godson, Caedmon, had his first birthday, Chris and I spent a blissful day at the Botanical Gardens, and we had a wonderful Easter celebration at my sweet grandma's house with lots of family.

Here are a few pictures from Chris and my little botanical adventure.













Have a Terrific Thursday!
