  • observations from the week:
    Stamp prices are going up a penny.
    This is sad for card making-letter-sending people, I thought it was always suppose to be cheaper to send a letter than to call long distance. *sigh*
     
    Spring confuses me.
    I never know what to wear. I put on a sweater in the morning because its freezing and by noon I am wondering how on earth I ever could have even thought of wearing such a hot item of clothing.
     
    Driving is dangerous.
    I have come to the conclusion that driving has been and always will be life threatening. People tend to do crazy and very scary things while driving: talking, reading, singing, putting on make-up, typing on their computer, etc. etc. etc.
     
    Time with friends is priceless.
    Heart-to-heart chats, hugs and just laughing together over silly little things are such a blessing in friendships. God is so good to give the gift of friendship to us.
     
    Colds are horrible things.
    Being sick is simply inconvenient and colds are one of the worst forms of inconvenience. You are sick, but not sick enough to stay in bed but your head is spinning and your mind cannot seem to concentrate or think well. Coughing, sneezing, loosing your voice, sense of smell and taste are rather disturbing attributes of the "common cold". Heaven will be amazing.
     
    Late Nights are not healthy.
    No matter how "young" one is. Really and truly, bedtime ought to be "strictly observed" by all to be before 10pm. I used to enjoy being up late because the house was quiet and cozy and I could get more done [or so it seemed...] now I much prefer the feeling of a good nights rest and waking up before 8am. *grin*
     
    "Jonah Days" are trying on one's soul.
    I had an "Anne" moment, [day rather] as I was experiencing my Jonah day. Both batches of cookies failed miserably because our oven temperature is broken, my cold was getting worse, it was raining for the third day in a row, we were late for volunteer work, etc. etc. etc. But God is so good and faithful and even in the midst of "Jonah days" I could see His love so evident despite my failings.
     
    Power points are amazing!
    I have been working on the "graduation" power point most of the day today. A dear friend was here this morning and gave me the power-point-intro-101. I am so excited to be able to have yet another outlet of creativity! Yay!!! Thankfully, all is going well and I am actually ahead of schedule for graduation stuff.
     
    Phone calls are important.
    Three phone calls this week from two important friends and a dear cousin who is going through a lot. All three calls were good. I was able to be an encouragement and be encouraged. It is such a blessing to be able to lift up fellow believers or be a light to others who are not walking with the Lord by being a good listener and praying for them.
     
    Jesus is wonderfully amazing.
    His love is so great... my prayer this week has been "open my eyes that I may see clearly all the evidences of Your love, Lord!" They are there. I need the eyes to see and the grace to love they way He loves me.

    I know what you mean about spring being so confusing! It's all sunny and wonderful, and then you step outside it's freezing cold! Ah well, summer shall be here soon enough... I hope! :)

    Kristi, I am SO glad I'm not the only one!! And you are right... the new ones are so WEIRD. I don't know anybody. Though I just listened to uh... the Tangled Web? I think that's what it was called. Where everybody comes back and they all have crushes on Lucy. Anyway, I think that Slumber Party, A Name not a Number, and the Spy Who Bugged Me are my top favs. What are yours? I love your yellow daisies!
