Sweet sweet sweet Sunday.

Sunday's are always always chaotic for me.
At least for the last year.
It's off to church early to set up and tear down, hopefully hear the sermon, and then off to work for the rest of the day.
Yesterday, it was sweet peace.
I got to stay for the whole service after tear down, had the heart to absorb the sermon, and then had the rest of the day off with Jess.
It was absolutely forgein- but I could definitely get used to it.

P. Josh started a new sermon series yesterday and the first one was about calling out our bluffs.
We Christians are so popular for our bluffs.
For not being real with people around us.
For hiding what's going on behind our eyes.
I'm not an exception.
I'm probably the example.
It's not that I don't want to be real with people-
it's that I've gotten so comfortable with giving everyone the easy answer.
I think we tend to be that way.
We ask someone how they're doing with not really wanting to know.
Just a social nicety.
Or we give someone else the patented "I'm GREAT" answer and inside we're crying, seething, screaming, or have simply given up.

The challenge to be real is definitely daunting.
Let's give it a shot.

I challenge you guys to get the podcast from yesterday/
There's even a Lady Gaga shoutout.

Breaking the Cycle.

I tend to blog when i'm angry.
You've probably noticed that.
Angry tirade followed by bitter diatribe.
Here's a change.

I'm not angry for once!
(Shocking I know.)
I only tend to have inspiration to write when i've been wronged in some way.
Here's to changing this!

As of December 31st, I finished at the bookstore.
It was a beautiful way to start of the New Year.
I was offered the receptionist/computer guru position at a local vet clinic.
Now I do paperwork and webwork with drowsy kitties asleep on my lap.
The Lord definitely heard my prayers.
I almost don't know what to do with myseld now that i'm happy.
That's kind of sad, eh?

Jess and I have been doing a lot of work on our little house.
Maybe soon i'll have the inspiration to take pictures.
I really like how it's turning out so far.
It's a nice change to see colors on the wall.
We'll start having people over again now that i'm almost done hibernating.

But for now...God bless non-stressful jobs.

Happy New year to all.
Much love and good food.
