OH I'm lovin' this. I've been going to the gym. A lot. I've been getting my tail kicked with every single class I take but I LOVE it!! I love it so much I'm even going back for a SECOND class tonight after I did one this morning!! I'm not embarrassed cause I try hard and that's all that I can do. Who ever would have thought that I'd love getting my rear kicked. Speaking of my rear - it's large and NOT used to step aerobics. I used to make fun thinking it was for older ladies wearing sweat bands. Oh no my friends. Never again. To add to my old school workout day I'm going to water aerobics tonight (something else I poke fun of). We'll see if I'm put in my place on this one too. I just love being in a pool so I'm excited either way! :)
I bought a new bible yesterday. It's adorable (not that that matters). I have really slipped up on reading the bible. I haven't been doing it at all really and I'm ashamed of it. I love my old study bible but a couple things distract me when I'm using it - who gave it to me and that the pages are all jacked up from being a victim of Unions tornado second tornado. It adds character but it was time for a new one. My old bible is an NIV translation and I really like New Living Translation better.
So I went hunting for one at Lifeway and found the PERFECT bible (and it was on sale!!). It's "leatherlike" so it's not the BEST but I couldn't resist the sale and the cute vintage flower pattern on it. :) You can't really see it well cause this is a picture of the box but it's cute.
I also picked up a few books - a daily devotional book w/short readings by Beth Moore,
one called Chocolatherapy (goes well with the new fitness routine, don't you think?)
and The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian. I really love her books. I've read one and own another that i haven't started yet but this one jumped out at me yesterday.
Today I'm going to shower (if you smell something it's my sweaty self at the computer) and get my resumes together so that I can apply for jobs. I'm going to turn in a transfer form for another middle school in my district (blech) in case I don't get the elementary job. I'm also applying at Union for an enrollment counselor position. I'm really going to pray hard about my career situation and ask God to soften my heart to accept His will for what I should be doing with my life. I need to walk with Him instead of asking Him to walk with me.
I'm going to shower now. :) I hope all is well for all 2 of you who read this! lol
Update: I don't really like the Beth Moore book. There are scriptures at the top of the page and then a little blurb that she's written at the bottom. The scriptures and blurbs don't go together! It's really weird and confusing.
