Extraordinary Faith for Everyday Life
I came through the door, sat down to watch the rest of house and now sitting down to tell all you lovely people that this movie was worth my NINE dollars to see it. It was great, fabulous, wonderful, touching, beautiful, romantic, sweet, amazing, unique, heartwarming, heartwrenching, breathtaking…should I stop now? Do you get it? You need to go see this!

I’ve always wanted to read through the Bible. I don’t know how many times I’ve read Genesis and Exodus but I never make it through. I’m planning on signing up and actually doing this. Thanks to Jeana at Days to Come for sharing.
Well, I don’t know if today will be terrific but I’m feeling better today. Scott tossed and turned all night but ended up going to work today. He said he’s not feeling great but it takes a lot for him to miss work so he’s out there. Emma is at home with me this morning. Her class went to the tree farm and I didn’t plan for us to go. So she’s painting and playing around me now. She says it’s going to be a great day today because today’s the day she gets to pick up her pottery and it’s the DWTS finale.
I’m actually hoping Scott gets to feeling better for the very selfish reason that I have plans to go to the movies to see August Rush with S, M, J and who knows who else tonight. I love going to the movies but don’t get to go too often and I love Keri Russell so it should be a great night. House and the DWTS finale will just have to be watched on TIVO. After the dancing last night, I’m not quite as psyched about watching who wins.
This evening Scott came home and took over while I crashed in bed. He went and got me some soup and Ginger Ale and it helped to get some food in me. By this afternoon, I could barely walk around. Of course right around the time the kids went to bed, I started to feel better. Wink, wink, right? No really, I’m still not feeling great. I still have a bit of headache, my stomach isn’t great and I get whoozy when I walk around but it’s a lot better than it was.
As for Scott, right about the time I started feeling better, he started feeling really bad. He was stuck on the couch until he crawled back to bed and has been there since. He even called his supervisor and said he might not be in tomorrow if he comes down with what I had. So lovely, the sickies finally hit the house. But let’s just pray the kids don’t get it because that I can not handle. I’ll take another round before I have to clean up that from someone else.
Wow, that was a fantabulous episode. Let’s hit the highlights
As for scenes for next week, they look just as great if not better than this week. I may just get my wish and not only have Justin Bobby gone but also have Heidi dump Spencer for good. I can’t believe she actually yelled at Spencer. I didn’t think it was in Heidi. I’ll be surprised if she doesn’t give into his apologies once again but I feel like she’s at least starting to see he’s not the be all end all.
I voted for Helio all 5 times.
It almost seemed like they all forgot to dance tonight. I was very disappointed with the dancing tonight. I thought the dancing last week was much better. It seems they were much too concentrated on those lifts than dancing. Do you think I could say “dancing” one more time?
That doll thing was extremely weird. Mel B’s freestyle was disjointed. Helio freestyle was good but not my favorite freestyle ever.
Up until tonight I couldn’t decide between Mel B. and Helio but it seems after tonight, Helio pulled through for me.
What is with bad Mondays? Today is really bad though. I caught FIL’s stomach virus but seemed to have tamed it by lunchtime with some meds. However, I’ve only eaten some toast and I’m hungry, weak and now I have a headache on top of my stomach ache. The girls are doing ok since I’m letting them watch a lot of TV and I hand fed both of them their lunch just so they wouldn’t be whiny because of hunger the rest of the afternoon. Work is not good though. Another production issue today that is causing me grief. Today is the type of day that makes me want to quit work.
In a ray of hope, I got all the proposals today from the consulting companies and it looks favorable for me. Just need to choose which one.
I have to say Sunday mornings have been quite draining for me lately. I work hard to make Sunday School good. I feel especially pressured since there is no youth pastor. I want something consistent, something exciting, something deep, something they like coming to.
But there is one girl in my class who just doesn’t get it. She professes to be a Christian and yet seems intent on bucking the system. She’s so needy emotionally it’s not funny so she does everything imaginable to put all the attention on herself. She comes in late, leaves early, makes mean comments to the other kids, gets angry easily, throws papers down, pouts. And really, most of that happened just this morning. I don’t even get mad at her, I just get so let down. I feel like my words are bouncing off a brick wall never to be seen again. Some of the kids will comment if a week is good like today but then there’s that one. The one who wasn’t listening and could have cared less. She’s so wrapped up in her world that she doesn’t care to respect me or the class or even her peers.
At the end of class, I just have this disappointed look on my face and slowly gather all my belongings and really just want to lay down and pout instead of heading up to choir to sing. It’s just so emotionally draining. To give myself…all the way to my core to try to help someone else just for them to basically laugh at it. It hurts some I guess. But really it just makes me sad. Some for me but mostly for her. All I can think about ironically is the verse from Sunday School today…
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
But as for me,
2 Timothy 4:5 But you, keep your head…endure hardship, do the work…discharge all the duties of your ministry.
