So What?

Things happen all the time that we are not ready for. Good things. Bad things. Stuff happens. Situations change...often so fast your head and/or heart spins. So what happens next? Do you get sucked into the vortex of woulda, coulda, shoulda? Do you try to grasp at the tattered remains?

I have found all the above leave you spent and empty. The thing to do is stop! drop! and roll!! Lol. I kid.

Although... Stop what you are doing. Drop to your knees and roll your cares to Jesus is pretty sound advice!!

I ask myself "so what?!". Everything in this life is temporary. This too shall pass. Even the gut wrenching circumstances and faith testing pain. It does pass...if you surrender to the Father and know He will bear your burden. So. What. God will carry me through. So.What.

Try it. They are fear busting words.

16 tons and what do ya get...

So, let's see... Last I updated I had just moved to Arkansas and was unpacking. This weekend marks one month since that has happened. I have unpacked the whole house. I have hosted people in my home every weekend AND I got a job and have been working for a week. Is there any reason you can think of why I have been a posting slacker? No? Well, my bad!!!

The house is starting to come together and the new job is ok.

I will return to form very soon!

Here is the piece of furniture I repainted and it is in the living room now.

Whirlwind Weekend!

What does anyone do that moves into their new town home do? Well, if you are me, you throw a weekend gathering! That's right! I moved. I unpacked. I over achieved - shocking!!!

I had a wonderful time cooking and relaxing! There were six of us and it was so fun!

I am so blessed to be loved by so many!!

A quick update

I have unpacked the mountain of boxes!!! I did it in two weeks - ok, ok.  I know, it took me longer, but I am doing it with ONE leg.  I am just relieved it is all finished.  Now, to work on making it pretty.  It has been quite the adventure.  I share this little tidbit so you know what I am dealing with here in Arkansas.

The leasing company told me I would have to go to the post office to get my mailbox key.  OK.  I went, and they looked it up and said, that no, they didn't have it - the leasing company did.  I called them. NOTE: The following really happened word for word!!

Me: "The post office says you have my mailbox key."

Lending Office (LO): "We didn't give it to you?"

Me: "No, I got two front door keys."

LO: "Oh, well, do you want me to put it in the mail to you?"

Me:  "Um, no.  How would I get it?"

LO: LONG pregnant pause (I could see the buffering line over her head moving slowly.) "Oh...."

Oh, indeed.  Yes, live bait at gas stations and barely live brain cells.  Thank you very much, Arkansas.  I am here all week!!!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ok, so now I am off to an interview with a staffing company.  The fun never ends!!!
