Grace Under Fire...

On my mind today:


Today, I am feeling a little down if I would stop to be honest about it and admit it to myself…  I realize that allowing myself to continue to feel like this – brings me zero good feelings…  I know that I am feeling under the weather, a bit, however, little negative things are happening and just adding to my ickiness…  I know above anyone that feelings are fickle and change like the weather on a winterish Nevada day…  Sunny and warm in the day and chilly and windy at night… ugh! So, I digress… I have decided to focus on those things which my Lord says about me: I am fearfully and wonderfully made, HE knows the promises and plans that HE has for me, HE is my refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. HE will instruct me and teach me the ways to go, Before I call,  he will answer; while I am still speaking HE will hear and as long as I trust in HIM with all my  heart and lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways acknowledge him, HE will make my paths straight. This is enough for me! In these promises I will set my sights… after penning these and reading them over, I am already beginning to feel better… HIS Grace is sufficient for me!

Algebra & Starbucks...

Hello there… I know it has been a bit – however, life has kept me sooo busy and at times, drained…

Things seem to be flowing – we are getting back into the swing of things and finding some normalcy once again… Taking on too much when you do not take care of yourself is: NO JOKE!  I do not recommend it!

Changes have been taking place, business ones and some personal ones as well.  Georges and I are checking off and balancing the items / things in our life… For one, I have laid off the Starbucks :/ - First, I stayed off of it for 30 days & have since modified it to having one on the days I study until 10pm.

…On another note, my son, has also made some progress! Yes! We have been growing through Algebra madness for the last few weeks – who felt the need to invent this?! Oh, that would be (and this may be up for debate) the Arabs! Lol – Yes, I must agree as this appears to be the case in my house as well… So, as I said, my son has made great improvement, therefore, slowing the progression of white hairs by my temples…

The growing and learning continue!

Take care and be well…

Voting Day!!!

Voting Day!

Today is the Day! To be quite honest I was not going to vote… I was convinced that it did not really matter… However, after being threatened by my parents that I must - that many before me (women, especially) fought and even died to make this happen – I realized the importance and gave in.

I guess I did not want to vote, because quite frankly I do not see much change when we do.  All we see beforehand are the candidates tearing each other up.  Every time I see one of those ads, it just pushes me further and further away from wanting do to so…

However, I have realized that those ‘people – government’ really do not want us to vote.  It somehow works out better for them if we do not… and that, I could not deal with… so, I am off to Vote and do my civic duty!

In quoting, Seth Godin “Voting is free. It's fairly fast. It doesn't make you responsible for the outcome, but it sure has an impact on what we have to live with going forward… Even if you're disgusted, vote. Vote for your least unfavorite choice. But go vote.”

Pray for our Nation… we are deep in it…
