Weekend that was out of control!

WOW! This was an eventful weekend. So many things were happening that I didn't get to stop.

Friday while I was at work my boyfriends family had a garage sell and my stuff was going to be selling in there as well.  That night we had a rehearsal dinner for the son of my 'family best friends'.  We call them our family best friends or practically family because we have known them for practicially our whol lives.  We hung out together and we had holiday's together.
Saturday I had to get up early (about 5:30) to go help in the garage sale.  Both Cooper, my boyfriend, and I had to start getting ready around 1:00 in order to go to my parents house at 2:00 and car pool with them to the wedding that started at 3:00.  After the wedding, which was beautiful by the way, we had the reception that ended at 8:30/9:00.  The day wasn't over yet because I had to go prepare (or re-prepare) for my lesson I was teaching Sunday morning. By the end of the day I was exhausted!!!
Sunday we had church. I taught my lesson on Cain and Abel. CRAZY story.  If you haven't learned or read about it you should.  Genesis 4!  Sunday for lunch we had a potluck at Cooper's church that didn't end until about 2:30.  After that we raced back to Cooper's parents house to get my dog out of her crate for a bit before we met up with my grandmother to just chat.  We only got to see her for about 45 minutes because she had to go to dinner with my sister-in-law and her grandmother.  Cooper and I then played some arcade games before we had to head back out to go play games and eat dinner with his preacher and his wife. They also invited another girl about my age over to play too. We didn't get done with the CRAZY game, that I can't even rememer, until about 10:30!!!! 

Needless to say I am exhausted! I am going to work until 3:30 today but then going to a House2House event with some famlies at the church from 6:30-8:00. I hope tomorrow is just a lazy day!!

Did anyone else have a crazy weekend? What happened?

Let's Keep in Touch

If I'm going to do this right I want to make sure everything I write and place on here is in favor of YOU! I mean you are my audience right?

Below are some things I've put on my blog to help you stay in touch and coming back.

Hope

Struggles.  Memories.  Thoughts.  Heartaches.  Wishes.  Prayers.  Laughs.  Tears.  Feelings.  Moments.

We all go through all of theses.  I have recently been going through them myself.  It isn't easy thinking positive but it's the best thing for you.  In order to keep going you have to think positive and not dwell on your past.  What good will it do to think negative and think of the bad memories you've been through.  Sure those bad moments you've had made you who you are today and better!

Starting today why don't we just change all the bad into good things.  For instance, TEARS.  Make them happy tears.  When you start to think about that one bad thought over and over again, make it into something funny or happy.

Philippians 3:13 (ESV) says "Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead"

Isn't that statement enough to us?  Sometimes I feel that I just can't go on.  I feel miserable and sad and hurt and unwanted.  That isn't the case!  You... I am always wanted by Him, I am never alone.

Philippians 3:14 (ESV) continues to say ..." I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."


So what happens if we lose track of what He wants from us?  Well to be honest I haven't figured it all out myself but I do know that if I don't keep God in everything that I do I won't have the comfort that I have from him right now.  He comforts me daily when I need him the most.  I lose track of him constantly and I'm not proud of it but I know that when I get to that point of sadness and loneliness I always find my way back to Him.  HOPE is what gets me through the day.
