I should not be allowed to have caffeine on Wednesdays. Wednesdays (and now Mondays) are my least favorite days. So the combination of coffee and being in a bad mood have me a crazy lady today. When I'm in a bad mood and hocked up caffeine, I clean. Yes, I realize I am Monica from "Friends" :) At least my house is spotless today.
I realized something this month; as I approach my 28th birthday (6 more days!), I am understanding God's plan for my life. I am realizing that I am right where God wants me to be (1 Cor. 7:17). I recently caved and started looking at facebook again and even though I'm not excited to see that once again, everyone and their brother are having babies, I am okay with it. Of course I am saddened to see that most people are working on baby #2 or #3 and I don't even have ONE of my own yet, but I honestly haven't shed a tear of it in a very long time. Am I becoming desensitized to my own "issues"? Maybe. Or I am growing as a person. I'd like to think it is the ladder, but I really don't know.
Even though everyday I am forced to think about these things, it truly is not all I think about. I try to be a positive, optimistic person...and I think most people would tell you that I am :) I am actually excited to celebrate my 28th birthday. I share the day with one of my best friends so the day is really extra special! We are going to the movies this weekend am I am geeked to spend some time with my friends. Everyone has such busy lives that it's hard to get together, just the girls. I am also getting a birthday massage! I love massages! One of my amazing friends saw how stressed I have been over foster issues and she got me a gift card to our favorite massage therapist (do I have amazing friends or what?!). To add to the excitement, Matt's mom is coming to visit in early October! I can't even express how excited I am! I love visitors :)
I am still working on "The Shack" and am getting closer and closer to the end. Once I am finished with it, I have a new book, "Leaders That Last". It is written by Gary Kinneman and I am so excited to read it! He is going to be the guest speaker the weekend Jeanne is in town and I couldn't be happier that she gets to hear him speak. He is amazing. He has been supporting our staff as we are going through our current transition. I couldn't have picked a better person to guide us through a rough time :)
