Isaiah14:4

So the other morning I woke up and got my cereal and got back in bed to eat it - what? I wanna stay in the bed as looong as possible! Anyway, as I'm sitting there all the sudden I hear Isaiah 14:4.

Who said that? Well, nobody said it out loud, but I couldn't get it out of my head. I was running a bit late and really needed to get up, but -- what the heck. So I went for the Bible.

'you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon. How the oppressor has come to an end! How his fury has ended!'

What a positive start to the day!

The Best

Don't you hate it when you eat your words? I do - for sure! But I did just that today. I always give my sister a hard time because when she's sick, even a cold, she calls our mom. I always say, "Don't call her. Your grown. Just deal with it." But feeling cruddy these past few days and being so stressed at the same time, I wanted to do the same thing!

I think it might just be us. My Mom can make everything better. Instantly when you are around her you feel better. So when your sick...it's a necessity! I went to Mom & Dad's today.

Mom worked her majic and because of her I felt good enough to eat dinner with my husband for the first time in 4 days, and I feel like I'm going to get a full nights sleep - also something I haven't done in 4 nights!

I don't know if your mom can work magic like mine, but if she can you are truly blessed. I hope one day I'll get the chance to be half the Mom she's been to me. Maybe then she'll teach me some of her magic tricks!

Hit a Wall

I've hit it - a wall.

After a hellish day of 200 MBE questions (on which I didn't do as well as I had hoped) I came home to study only to realize I was getting sick (UTI). 2 days later I am still working from home dealing with the stomach/headache from the meds.

I can't help but think that this is a test of determination and perseverence. This is it! The last link in my chain out of school FOREVER!!!

Found this quote and thought I'd share:

Perseverence is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~ Newt Gingrich

darn straight, Newt! Back to studying I go!

Hodafez!

The D

So we went to Papadeaux for 'the D's' birthday last weekend. We had a fantastic time - they even escorted us to a special private booth! Looove the celebrity treatment.

Great food and some much needed time alone with 'the D' sans TV. It was crazy awesome! I love our life!

Mornings

So, right now I am generally stressed during my commute from Denton to Ft Worth for Bar/Bri 6 mornings a week. Last week I started a 13 day stretch. I listen to a mix of music on my drive, usually adding quite a bit of new hits and contemporary Christian music - I know...the combo relaxes me!

Anyway, I had to share the beauty that was the sky the other morning. I love catching awesomeness!!! (Though I'm sure I looked like a freak trying to take a pic with my camera with the window down going 70 - - - - Yes mom, promise I drive safe!)

Cover to Cover - One Day At a Time!

As if I need or even can handle another thing on my plate I have decided to add one VERY important one. I have decided to read the Bible cover to cover this year. I hear myself constantly rambling to others about how thankful I am and how I know it has been God's hand guiding me through law school because his plan is running its course in my life, and I am loving every minute.

But during church yesterday morning, Dr. Jeff challeged the congregation to read the Bible in its entirety. I had the lightbulb over my head, I'm sure. What better time to read the Word than now. I know my life is at a crossroad. I am anxious to refresh my memory on old Bible stories from my childhood and learn better the ones I am now old enough to understand.

As I stand on the precipice of my new career I am excited to take on this task. I will read as much as I can each night. Right before bed...right AFTER the devotion The D and I do together each night.

Happy New Year!

The New Year did a drive by on me this year! With BAR/BRI in full swing my life is crazy for the next 8 weeks. Thank goodness I have a husband who will wake me from my stuper to remind me that a new decade is knocking! Thanks babe!
