One of those AHHH HAAA!! moments

I had one of those AHHH HAAA!! moments yesterday. See, I have been struggling with a difficult decision for about 4 months. I will not go in to specifics about the problem, however I do want to elaborate on the moment. Yesterday I was not feeling gung-ho about attending church. I was extremely tired and wanted to stay in the bed all day, but I pulled my self out of bed and went. I wanted God to talk to me - to give me some guidance! Sometimes I need to be hit with a brick over the head for me to "get" something. Anyway, we started a new series yesterday called the "One Month to Live Challenge." What would you change in your life if you found out you had 30 days to live? Good question, huh? Brother Brad gave some scriptures that absolutely spoke to my heart. It was as if they sprung out from the projector screen and knocked me in the head. The first one dealt with not giving up (he is looking it up to remind me of which one it is) that only a fool gives up!! I needed that so bad!! And the answer I had been looking for just seem to have fallen into my lap. All I need to do is LOVE more - not get so caught up in the specifics of everybody's life, but only focus on changing what I can change. There is a family situation to which this is relevant. Big time! And the way to change what needs to be changed can only come with unconditional love!! That's it!! This ahh haa! moment has inspired me to make a mini-book scrapbook on this premise and is the inspiration behind this blog. Bro. Brad also showed clips from the movie "The Bucket List", it is now on my list of movies to watch.

In other weekend happenings: I did cut the grass (wooohooo!!), bought the paint for my scrapbook room (extra wooohoooo!!), am almost caught up on the laundry, printed some pics for scrapbooking, got some things organized at the bow shop, went to the grocery store (Wal-Mart kept calling the house saying we needed to come buy grocies - I kept ignoring) finally, lived off of fish sticks and chicken nuggets (I forgot the roast while at Wal-Mart) and that's about it. I did read several scrapbooking magazines this weekend and got some great inspiration. I also picked up a magazine at church yesterday Homelife. I was very inspired by several articles I found. One was about weathering the storm and it listed some scriptures to memorize each week for 4 weeks. This week's scripture comes from Hebrews 13:5 - "I will never leave you or forsake you." Good stuff for me at this time!! I also attended church last night and again was inspired. I guess the title to this post should have been "EPIC POST" ahem! I mean, "Totally Inspired".

I will check in later!!
