Two Wolves - Interesting
The Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside popel.
He said, 'My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all... One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.'
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather 'Which wolf wins?'
The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'

Quick Monday Nothing
monday night already. not sure where the weekend went, but i spent saturday asleep. i was sooooo wiped out and not really sure why.
sunday i went shopping with a friend in a town i did not know where it was and may have never been too before. I HAD A BLAST. spent too much money i am sure, but it was fun and i believe will even out in the long run.
i am really too tired to put much tonight. hopefully i will have something exciting tomorrow - or the next time i am able to sit and type a bit. really there are wonderful things happening in my life, still stuff i am so unsure of, but God is faithfully working in me and around me. and somehow i have great hope for the future, and my present.
remind me and i might paraphrase a cool healing situation that happened a few days, or chat about what i was shown this morning. the good thing is every time i spend time with Him i am so blown away by His interest in me and what He says to me and about me. i get to see attitudes He is helping to change so i am free and those around me see His work, tho they may not realize what it is.
love to you tonight, may you sleep with peace. i have an early morning and hopefully a workout shortly after i wake up. so night for now.

What Seems Like The First Day
i have just gotten home from my 'first' mary kay make-up class. it went well and i am pleased with the presentation. not exactly what i hope for, but i can tell it went fine. very much enjoyed the gals there and already have a new booking for another class.
i am enjoying the business. well i enjoy getting with gals and trying the products. i like to get the feedback on the products and love being with other gals.
it has been a long day, and the night seems to be gone already - seeing how it is after midnight. i am so ready to go to bed.
my hope is to be up around 4.30. not sure if that is possible at this point in time yet.
this morning i got up and spent the first hour with God. it was wonderful and i was amazed at how the time flew by. my purpose was to be refueled, restored. have some life put back into my step. i realize that no matter the exercise or diet i follow. there is nothing that will fill me like His presence. i can take wonderful nutritious vitamins, and sleep 8 hours. i can beautify my body and spend lots of time perfecting my look. but there is no replacement for His Presence. it is always what i need. this morning He reminded me to take a moment when things get stressful and give it - whatever it is - to Him. just a moment and i can have peace again. amazing what He offers. it will take some time and plenty of sticky notes planted in inconspicuous places to get that down. it will sure be worth the effort. (umm if it can be called effort - it takes concentration to stop and hand stress over to Him. hehehe)
He is where i find safety and peace. He is strong and bold on my behalf. Whom else will i want? He is everything i need.

'Lucy, You Have Some 'Splainin To Do.'
k, it has been a little while. some would argue nothing has been happening for that time. me - weeeeelllll it has been busy.
i am working a 40+ hour job. it is pretty stressful right now. i am not sure why, but it is. it seems like a straightforward job, yet there seems to be so much time taken up by what, i think, should be simple tasks. AND of course all the added items piled up on my already piled up pile. i guess i may have to tell some people that their immediates can not super-ceed what i am already trying to immediately get done. otherwise every thing falls farther behind. sounds easy, right? i'll get back to you on that one.
in january - i think - i joined the mary kay company with my husband's conscent. now i am a small business owner, and i am quickly finding out that takes hours too. i feel so far behind already. i had two main reasons: i wanted to meet gals, and i really wanted a safe place for ladies to come and see the beauty process God wants to do in their lives. mk is a great tool, but it starts with God and what He says about us as one-of-a-kind treasure. i believe i had a go-ahead and am doing what i can to not get nervous about the details i know nothing about. you can check my website here.
rob and i have been working out most mornings. we get up and out the door in time to be at the gym around 5am. makes long days so i am not quite as consistant as i would like to be, yet i see my time and speed increasing and am very pleased. i take the time on the elliptical machine to concentrate on Jesus and just know that He loves and cares for me. i pray about what i see, what i don't see. i just spend time talking to Him and He continues to give me wonderful visions.
the latest one is knowing that He never looks away from me. i have never experienced the passionate and unwavering look of a pure gaze upon me. He told me He has never looked away from me. even during the times of great darkness and confusion He knew He could get to me. He was never embarrassed by my mistakes, never ashamed of me. never wanted to look away. to me that is powerful. i have often been shamed and embarrassed. i have often had horrible attitudes and judged so unfairly. i am not honest or good by my own accord. yet He kept me in His sight knowing He would have me as His own.
what risk He took. realizing that at any time i could decide something else would suffice - often i did look to others and empty things to grant me a false sense of value and love. many times i have shamed myself in my search for meaning and life. yet He still kept on calling my name. what a wonderful love story. it is my personal story. we each have one, some of us hope to find ourselves in something or someone. truly we can only be found in Him. all in all the past few weeks and months have shown me a great God. He moves on my behalf in me and around me. i am not sure He will ever have the same time frame i try to keep, yet He is moving and i can see it.
so there is a BRIEF snyposis of the past months. if you have questions please comment and i will get back to you.
