hey, hey, hey

So I know it's been a little bit, but I make no apologies. Okay. I really am sorry, but it's not like you're beating down my Internet door for more posts...lol So what's been going on in my life? Nothing and everything. It seems lately I just don't have too much energy left over to do anything that isn't completely necessary. I'm just tired all the time. I've had a headache for a week and a half, but actually tonight it's a little better.

So if you want to know the complete extent of my ADD, in-between this paragraph and the previous one I went and reorganized my closet in my bedroom...put the summer clothes where I could more easily access them and put the winter clothes sort of out of my way. How ridiculous is that?! I mean, not ridiculous to reorganize, but in-between paragraphs! I think I'm crazy. :)

Anyway, so in my journey as of late leading me to question what made King David so special I've remembered that I had a book called "A Heart Like His" by Beth Moore. I think I'm going to read it, 'cause that's what it's all about. King David, a man after God's own heart. That's what I want. Some days it's totally easier to want to have God's heart and to feel as He feels, but most days it's hard because I want what I want when I want it.

Anyway, I'll be reading that book pretty soon, so be prepared for some great discussion. Also currently reading the Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. We're discussing it for Bible Study on Sunday nights. It's kicking me in my posterior, and I kind of like it. It's making me look at a whole lot of things differently, not necessarily that I was doing things wrong, but just looking at them a little bit differently...okay a lot differently.

So, yeah, Vegas was great for those of you who knew I went there last week. We had our National Training Conference for Arbonne. Can you believe that I went to Vegas and didn't gamble a bit?! I didn't even put a penny in the penny slots! I've about decided that I'm working too hard for my money right now to gamble it away. Besides, is that what God would really want me to do with what He's given me? The last two times I didn't even think about it. I was in Vegas. I gambled. I won all the money back I'd spent on my trip. Let me tell you that it was really difficult knowing that the past two times I'd won my trip back and not to take that chance this time. But I was on a pretty tight budget and just didn't want to risk it. We had a ton of other stuff to do anyway. Here's something you should do...Read the Irresistible Revolution right before, during or right after you go to Vegas, the city of wastefulness.

The crazy thing is there were so many families there this time. Maybe there were the last two times and I just wasn't paying attention to stuff like that, but we were walking one night at 11 p.m. and there was a group of about ten 9 to 10 year olds walking in front of Misty and I picking up the little cards of the naked women on them. So sad.

I'm listening to Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson...just so you know. Also, one of my favorite groups that only made one good CD...Wilson Phillips. I will probably totally get made fun of for that comment, but there's nothing like family harmony!

Anyway, these are my random thoughts. Hope this has been an entertaining post for you!
