Flavour Your Day!

It's Thursday!!! - that means tomorrow is FRIDAY! PTL. (if you aren't down with the abbrevs. it means Praise The Lord)

Favorite songs today = "We Cry Out" - Kim Walker & "We Are" - Kari Jobe

Bible Verse of the Day =  "I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong." - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

UPDATE on the spider situation: I bought RAID MAX for Spiders and Scorpions - I owned my window sills, patio and front doors - Hoping this worked like a charm, will keep you filled in!

 

Last night was FLAVOUR at Fellowship Church - Grapevine campus; I was a little apprehensive at first because I didn't see many people I knew - but God loves to take us out of our comfort zones! I went with the "Singles" Influence Group! Let me tell you I am SO glad I did!! I enjoyed every minute. I met about 12 girls who I hope to call friends shortly.... they are all different ages ranging from 18-26 and we all have something in common, whether its attending school or a full-time job, thoroughly enjoying our beauty rest so much so we are running late some where, or just JESUS! ;) I can't wait to see what the Lord has in-store for our group! I believe it will be a very encouraging and God filled time. Can't wait to get to know these girls better. (they even prayed for my spider situation - lol #score)

high five for friday

Good morning lovies! :) 

"it's Friday, Friday, evvvvverbody loves Friday! TGIF, Friday! Wahooooo"

That was me doing my Friday dance/singsong voice! lol Hope everyone's day has started off on the right foot! However, mine did not..... I woke up an hour late, was only about 15 minutes late to work, thankful for a boss that doesn't really care what time I get in if I let her know & my other two boss' (CFO & AVP) are out of the office! #score --- Moving on!

 So this week was a little rough, okay let's be honest just Thursday, as in yesterday. I had my first lab test/quiz/experiment, what could go wrong?! HA. never ask that question. I was stressed out because I had to have goggles for lab but I had yet to buy them, so the procrastinator in me waits until the day of to buy them before class. I usually leave work around 4:40pm to head to school -- frantically worrying if there would be any goggles left (yes, I worry about things I can't control) I got there about 5:20pm and there were TONS of goggles left, WHEW dodged that bullet. Okay, so I'm thinking I'm all good and prepared for class - so I go to change clothes, because you have to wear certain clothes to Chemistry Lab - whoknew - after I change clothes I'm finally chilled out and I can go wait for class to begin (this is about 5:30). I'm sitting there thinking and I realize we are having a quiz and lab over measurement today so I will need my calculator, well I dig through my purse and my bag and its NO WHERE to be found! I die - my face is burning, I'm getting anxious - my stomach gets this sick feeling. I'm thinking greaaaat way to begin your first grades in this class by being unprepared. So we get through lecture -- all the while I am not really paying any attention because I'm so nervous about the quiz and I'm in a rather foul mood, just because I'm very hard on myself. We take a break in between lecture/lab and when we returned for lab it was time to take the quiz; to my surprise Dr. Peterson had a stack of calculators waiting for us if anyone needed one. WOW, can I just say that the Lord always, always, always takes care of us even if we are doubtful or scared or worried or whatever the case may be and we I have got to learn this! I mean really I could have trusted the Lord to take care of it and saved myself a lot of worry, etc. Thanks for the lesson, I'm going to try my best to remember this the next time I get stressed out, scared, worried! (and really all of that wasn't THAT big of a deal - I just made it more of a big deal than it was - yes I know no need to point that out. Ha.)

 On to my High Five For Friday. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :) & as always linkin' up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk!
