Quiet Strength
So as it turns out I'm not really THAT great of a livejournal-er. Maybe I'll just use this as a travel journal instead.
Back in the Dakota. It's not quite the snow covered land it was last month, and thankfully it is much less cold! I got into Fargo with few major issues. Somehow my tickets got messed up in Memphis and I had to recheck my baggage in Minneapolis and go back through security, which semi stressful since I was on limited time, but it was a true blessing they caught it in Tennessee because otherwise there's no way my luggage would have made it to Fargo....and since I'm only here 2 days and Fargo is an hour drive from Jamestown where I stay...I would have probably been back to Pensacola several days before my luggage caught back up to me. Since our flight had to be replanned (as we cut the MN part of trip out) I had to set by strangers on my flights in to Memphis and Minneapolis. On my flight into Memphis I sat by a lady with puppies....which of course i loved. They pups kept poking their little heads out of her bag. It made me realize how bad of an idea bringing Bayleigh would be as theres no way she could have set still and kept her cool that long...still...she would have looked really cute poking out of my purse.
I'm traveling with Mark this trip. It's a lot different from Brady as Mark is first of all my boss whereas Brady is my coworker & Mark is a lot more work driven than Brady. The trip was good though and as we both are talkers there's been few moments of awkward silence on the trip. The bad news as Mark is a bit more work driven he wants us to be at the plant at 7 in the morning. GROSS. Reckon I'll live though. I think we're going to go by and look at the lake me and Brady got stuck in last month to see if it's melted yet. Though there is not much snow remaining on the ground most of the lakes we've seen are still, for the most part, frozen. I'm very intrested to see the lake in the summer!! Tomorrow is going to be a really good day..I just feel it.
In other news I've almost finished reading the Tony Dungee Biography, Quite Strength. It's a really god book and has been very inspiring to me. Although a lot of the book is about football (duh) I really have enjoyed and definitely reccomend it!! I guess the main thing it's made me realize is how little control I actually give God over my life. I know I should trust God, I know he is obviously far more all knowing in the descion making department....however....most of the time I rely on my own judgements to make decisions...until of course I make the wrong decision and want God to fix it...then of course I expect God to fix it. You'd think I'd learn as 98% of my judgement calls are wrong, but nope,I still keep thinking I can do it alone. And I can't. I think it's time I started listening.
For now it's time for bed..I'm crossing my fingers for snow. It's supposed to snow Thursday....but I'm hope'n it comes early!!
