I hope your extended weekend was lovely, friends! Mine was nice. fireworks. food. family and friends. It was nice indeed.
I’ve been taking a little break from the computer lately, and thus have been absent from blogging and posting pictures and the like. It’s okay, because I needed it. I’ve been reading A LOT. When I read, I blow through multiple books at a time. I think in the last three weeks I’ve read maybe five or six novels, maybe more? I just finished “the jungle” by uption sinclair (depressing, much?) and I’m going to start “Gone with the Wind” today methinks. I’m not sure I have the patience for another long classic. I’m kind of needing a light airy breezy fiction read, or maybe some interesting non-fiction. Any suggestions?
I heard back from the studio I interviewed with and as of today, I have two scheduled weddings! Joy! The first wedding should be even and all the more interesting because it’s in Port Huron, an hour north of Detroit, and will be a traditional native american ceremony. Wowzers.
I have to admit, I’m nervous, but also excited. It will be great.
I don’t have the mental energy to post about my healthcapades because it isn’t pretty. I’m not eating great, and I’m not losing. I’m a slug. I need to get moving. I feel so much better when i work out, but I’m so recalcitrant to do it. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
Maybe it’s the dog days of summer that have me all lazy and unmotivated. Maybe it’s the tides of life. My schedule’s been cattywampus and I need to get back into the swing of life. I’m not depressed, just bleh and meh and eh. You know. You’ve been there.
Anyway, I could do with a little personal motivation, and I have a sneaking inkling that it will begin and end in prayer. Today, I thought “i miss you, jesus.” I believe that indicates a problem, doesn’t it?
I am scheduling a date with my Bible. and putting it on repeat.
I hear you, Lace! I find that I am seldom spiritually recharged at my church and it is only because we are so small after a split in the congregation a few years ago, which caused me to take on way more than I wanted to. I work here, teach Sunday School, co-lead the teens, sing in the praise band, and co-chair VBS. Basically, I am too busy having my azz kicked by all this work to actually find Jesus in any of it!
So this weekend, I am bound for DC for the Women of Faith conference, which does totally recharge me and this year, it could not have come at a better time.
That post was an incredible reminder for me that when things aren’t meshing, it’s probably a spiritual issue. That’s so true, and I know it, so why do I forget it over and over?
I’m excited about the Native American wedding… sounds like a scenario for some truly beautiful pictures!!
mmmm. I need to dive into a good book too. Before I start back to school and can only read boring put-me-to-sleep theory for the next 4 years. 😦
Girlfriend – I so hear you!! I’m right there with you – so in anyway I can help – tell me! 🙂
