" The Girls"
Vacations can be a real stress maker,you go away to get a break from the cycle of stress only to come home to get some Rest! This past few days I had the chance to get away with "The Girls" My best friend made arrangements for the four of us to go to Berlin OH. I have been saving for this trip for months and for the first time ever I was able to relax and enjoy because I did not have to worry about finances-----that was lesson number one that I learned on this trip. I have learned the lesson of tithing pretty well and as hard as it may seem I take my tithe out right away but this thing about SAVING has somehow euleded my brain!!! This trip made me see how enjoyable things can be when you are prepared. You know I can look at life that way too, the things I am doing for the Lord are my savings plan for Heaven, I am prepared because I am a child of God I KNOW where I will spend eternity, I am saving for the crown that God has promised me when I obey him I am adding to my savings! Back to earth now: This is my plan I get paid every two weeks so starting with my next check I will be taking out my tithe first then $10 will go into the credit union feel free to ask me about my savings and help make me accountable!
Lesson #2 I learned is REST. We were on the go for 3 days but in the evening we rested. One evening we just sat out on the veranda and laughed and talked and enjoyed the beautiful view of the rolling hills of OHIO reminds me of the beauty of West Virginia ( that is another story another time) One night we splurged and got 60 min massages OOOOOOOOOOO how soothing! Then later we did a little bit of candle waxing of eachother's ears. So funny, we laughed and laughed.
Lesson 3 LAUGHTER - Laugh alot, let your hair down and enjoy a good ole belly laugh-till you pee your pants laugh!!! Makes you feel so good and relieves tension.
Lesson 4 Tears- Tears can be happy or sad but no matter what they are healing and cleansing. It is so good to have friends to hold when the tears flow. Let your friends in on your feelings they can be an awesome source of comfort.
I am back to reality for a little bit this week is going to be difficult for me among other things I have been summoned to a court hearing and I am not happy about it. I have never had to be a witness for someone much less someone that I feel should pay for their deeds. Please be in prayer for this situation, God is the final judge so I am trying to just be truthful and trust him to take care of the rest.
Oh yes the issue with Menards is moving slowly I have a complaint sheet for myself and contractor to complete, I have not given up yet!!!!
I am hoping to start painting this week tune in for updates and pictures!!
One of the pictures on tonight's blog will be the fried ice cream with the kids I promised. Have a great night and an awesome Monday!!!
