Have combined staff meeting this AM in our other office....Brainstorming for 2012. We are supposed to come with ideas to grow our agency. My ideas are ideas to make business run better and that would cause more outlay of monies and hubby said that's not the kind of things he's wanting. So plan to keep my mouth shut and add things as we see what he says. Not thinking he really wants ideas...he wants to tell us what he wants to do and have us buy into it. So we'll wait and see.

The pressure to go, go, go is awful. Hard to take!

Get rid of that pressure and press on to the mark of the high calling instead! Make today count, Kathleen, because we are never guaranteed tomorrow. If we do have a surety for the next day, what would Jesus suggest a priority for you?

Kathleen, you need to tell everyone how stressed you are. Perhaps by spreading yourself out (something w/the hubby one wknd, something w/mom the next and so on) you will be able to come up with a compromise. We live in a fast paced world. I think for myself getting back to the basics is what it comes down to. When I think sometimes of what my ancestors did they had time for everything plus hard manual labor and still made it through. I've already approached my family about Christmas next year and asked them instead of buying gifts for one another if we could instead pool that money and give it to a charity, even if it's only 5 - 10 dollars that's almost $200 to a charity. Forget it being all about me from now and start giving more.. That for me is my goal this next year. Have a wonderful Tuesday.. Donna Report Inappropriate Comment |
Weekend flew by. Left at 8:45 yesterday AM and didn't get home until 8:30 pm. Long day. Felt frustrated I spend all weekend doing for others. That's really what life is supposed to be about right?
Wanting to get some things done here for the holidays.
Took Mom to open houses Saturday. They were gorgeous. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Some looked small from the outside and were really beautiful homes on the inside and spacious. Mom grunted and grumbled the whole time and had to tell everyone about her bad ankle. Needless to say I was frustrated by the end of it...wondering why I had taken her...hopefully she enjoyed it some????
Took her to Church then ran through drive thru to get her something to eat for lunch as we weren't able to take her to brunch. Helped with a Spina Bifida Christmas party. A new experience for me and how wonderful the people are. The children are just precious. Their smiles lit the room. The struggles they face and yet they light up the room!
Friend is back in the hospital with heart issues. We stopped by to visit with him for awhile. His defibulator keeps going off. Got 4 shocks Saturday evening while watching TV. He was just starting to get moving again after another episode of them around Thanksgiving. Without them he'd be dead as it keeps his heart beating right but then he's fearful of doing anthing for fear of it going off.
Hubby got new yesterday...may be starting their company back up. There are new investors that want to make it go. Maybe that's why they haven't found other jobs....Sermon was about trusting God...learning to pray and then end by saying Not my will but Your's Lord. Seems like we've lived that way most of our lives. It's tough some times but I can say it...not my will but Your's Lord! I've asked Him to mold me and shape me to be more like HIm...Painful process He has so much to mold and change 
Done a lot of thinking and praying over the weekend. Working on my resume to send in an application and leave it in God's hands.
Off to make it a great day!

Long weekend, but it is wonderful to give our time to others, especially in this culture that is growing individualistic...sad. Hope your day is filled with awesomeness from the Lord above Report Inappropriate Comment |

Long day/weekend, Kathleen. Very curious, I am, about the potential of some of the things mentioned. I remain your friend, in Christ. Weather is so nice, I have to thank Him twice!

Your Christianity shows itself in so many ways, Kathleen. You are putting yourself out there for your Mom, the Spina Bifida party, and your friend in the hospital. Sometimes we seem to think all I do is for others, but isn't that what it is all about? God bless you on this day.

Happy Monday morning Kathleen. I'm thinking your doing for others so much is coming back to you in bits and pieces that's why you have noticed it much. Like your co-worker and her singing experience. Or even your mtr-in-law and what you are doing for her. Things like that gives us crowns of glory in heaven.... Molding and shaping, yep we could all use that and I'm happy to say you have made a dear friend on here. Thank you  Donna
