Stuff

I haven't felt much like posting the last week. Not much has gone on to post about anyway.

My sister turned 32 earlier this week. So until July 30'th she is now four years older than me (hahaha).

Brandon Scott Thomas has a saying on his blog (I don't know how to link to it or I would) for things that you just can't blog about. He calls it "creamed corn." That is kinda what is going on with me. I have some stuff on my heart that someone confided in me at church this morning, but I will have to sort it out without posting about it.

I went to a small group Bible Study with some people from church tonight. They are all about my age (married of course). They are watching the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace video series right now. I know Dave has some very good points, and he has gotten a lot of people out of dept, but something about this guy just grates on my nerves. Maybe it is that you have to pay him, when you are already in dept, to have him tell you how to get out of dept. My parents went through his program several years ago. As a teenager I was forced to endure his radio show whenever I was in the car with my parents. That probably explains my feelings for him. I don't own a credit card, nor have I ever, so I guess I feel like a lot of what he says doesn't pertain to me. I do have student loans out the wazoo, but the only thing I can do about those is pay them. He says if you have something you owe money on, besides a house, sell it. Can I sell my student loans? I wish. Drop me an email if you want to buy them from me :)

Word has gotten out that I am not keeping Austin anymore. I have to babysit for a little boy in the morning and then go keep a little girl right after that. I also have to keep the same little girl on Tuesday. I had the boy two days last week. I may be able to pay my taxes after all. I want to go down to the city schools office and apply to be a sub. Looks like I won't have time until wed. to go out there.

God,
Thank you for the wonderful day you gave us today. The weather was gorgeous and Church was so uplifting. God I want to lift up the person at my church that told me some painful things that had happened to them. Thank you for giving her peace of mind and helping her move past it. God, we have both made a lot of the same mistakes. Help us to be able to minister to each other and put our pasts behind us. I also want to ask you to be with my friend Jamie. I just love her and her family God. Her father was recently diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Be with them as they wait to find out if it has spread. Be with the doctors who will decide his treatment, and heal him if it be your will. They prayed for years for him to become a Christian and just a few years ago he was baptized. Let them find peace of mind in this. I love you God, and I am so grateful for the life you have given me and the people you have put in my path. I feel honered to be able to worship you and to know that you are always there.
In Jesus' Name, Amen
