The Crazies this Week

Well, I can't say there isn't much humor in the beginnings of this week.  First I've gotten at least 3-5 e-mails a day about this repin of one of my popular pins in Pinterest -- It's the Daisy Duke workout.  I don't know what happen but it just happened in a storm.  I knew this was one of my most popular repins from time to time but for some reason people are pinning it like mad the last few days -- almost as if it was an e-mail storm.  Anyone else want to join the cause?  Here it is.

In other news, I've been busy studying the bible as I am to teach it the next two weeks when the main teacher is gone.  I can't say we're teachers, rather we are guides because we are learning it all together but we lead the studies by highlighting the main topics.  I can't say I'm the subject matter expert so I'm not the bible teacher, rather the leader or the guide.  I'm hoping that with time, God will give me the ability to deliver especially since in my next assignment I will be teaching.

And speaking of skills to deliver, I've made announcements as part of my willingness to volunteer for the church as much as I dread speaking in front of a group.  Now that I realize it's not about me the attention is no longer on me.  If I can keep this thought, then I need not worry.  Maybe God didn't design me to be a speaker but a doer and so, hopefully my actions will speak louder than words.

I got to see my kitty on Skype yesterday and I can't believe in two and half months time, he has gotten bigger - face is fatter, take a look.

Well, that is all from this end.  Whether your goal is to lose weight or to become more spiritual, never lose hope, and TRUST -- that is the word to take with you today.  :-)

A Work in Progress

This week is flying by and all I could say is.... I've had my down moments but I have to be more thankful.  God reminds me all the time, which gives me encouragement, that I am on the right track.  Check out this picture.

Yes, old habits creep in but I got this idea from either the bereavement e-mails or one of the devotional book.  I am to set up a shrine that reminds me of how *I am doing.*  Yes you can remember your loved ones by focusing on things that honor them such as visiting a park, doing something that they support, charity maybe, etc.  But the shrine is a symbol -- a growth in spirit.  So I hope that this reminder will continue to build on Bo.  Bo's dark side will subside though it may never be gone, may all the words of scripture be the battle against the enemy.

Only a few more week sand I get to go home.  Feels like forever..I am thankful for another day and a beautiful clean apartment to rejuvenate each day.  I hope I will continue to get the brightest ideas while here and get back to studying for computer certifications (not my favorite thing to do).  For those whose work each day is something they enjoy, blessed are they.
