Thinking of you Thursday.... delayed until tomorrow.

Instead of doing a thinking of you Thursday, I decided to dedicate this post to my puppy! As I promised here is Bandit.... He's a Bandit! (How clever)


Now don't let the expressions fool you... I know he absolutely loves wearing his costume... although he does not realize he can sit down while wearing it. He has this habit of walking sideways whenever he is wearing something (this costume and his backpack)... it is rather amusing. Needless to say, he did not realize he could sit down though :)

I don't know if I will be posting tomorrow, as I have many hours of Ghost Hunters to watch :) If I don't get to it, I will post and get caught up on Saturday. If you don't hear from me tomorrow... have a nice Halloween!

The Word Wednesday

This Bible verse goes along with the teaching tip from yesterday. I told you that I was a perfectionist and along with that comes much worry and anxiety that things will not be just right. Because of that, I find much peace from this verse:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

Again, this is much easier said than done. I have a lot of trouble relinquishing control and letting things go. I know that I am not in control and that I need to let go and let God. He is the one with the plans and the one who knows what is best for me. I am one who definitely needs to work on bringing my troubles and problems to Him. I always try to fix them on my own and with my own power, but that is not enough.



On another note, I picked up Bandit a costume today for Halloween. I am super excited about it and will definitely post some pictures of him as soon as I take some! Now, he is always super cute, but he is even cuter in his costume :)

Teaching Tip Tuesday

It is hard for me to think about these tips when I am not actually at school. I need to have a little pad of paper or something to write down ideas as I come across them. Today's tip is one that I really need to work on:

Know when to call it good enough.

I need to work on this at home and at work. I am somewhat of a perfectionist (collective gasp) and I have trouble leaving something as is. I always feel like there is more for me to do and more for me to work on and get better at. This can be good for some things, but unfortunately this is how I am with too many aspects of my life. I need to know when to stop and just live. I let the small things bother me and it takes over my life. I need to just let go of focusing on the imperfections and although that was pretty easy to type, it is one of the hardest things for me to accomplish.

I guess this is a tip that I need to put into practice :)

Music Monday!

I am back! And for this Music Monday I bring to you my all time favorite song! It has been a favorite song for as long as I can remember. Most people in my generation know it as a remake, but I love the original. Without further ado... Last Kiss by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers (not Pearl Jam).

[Chorus]
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven soI got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road straight up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tires the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last

[Chorus]

WHen I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Somethign warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew i have missed
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love my life that night

[Chorus]

Woh (x4)
Ohh (x4)

If you have only heard the remake by Pearl Jam, then I urge you to find the original and give it a listen. I think it is soooo much better!

I'm Back

The week from you know where is over... I should be back to my normal schedule starting tomorrow! I know you all are so excited!

This past week I was at school until 8:00 on Wednesday and Thursday, and was babysitting until midnight on Friday... That's a little idea of why I didn't get anything posted.

Check back tomorrow!
