Lazy Day...

It's another Saturday & lots to get done, especially since I'm leaving town on Thursday. I'm leaving Thursday to go to Sugarland for Ladies Conference with a bunch of my girlfriends & other church ladies. We always have so much fun & it is always so good between the music & the special speakers.

Fat Tuesday...

I went home early because I was not feeling well. I slept about 4 hours straight & when I woke up, my mom text'd me to tell me that IHOP was serving free pancakes to celebrate Fat Tuesday & the beginning of lent. I messaged back - let's go! She said, really? So to make a long story short - we went to Austin (about 15-20 mins from home) and had pancakes. It was a blast & they were good! So what did you do on Fat Tuesday?

Was It ALL for Nothing?!...

First of all, let me say ~ this is for Josh (one of my adopted sons)... it is also a little for myself & maybe you too. We all go through things in life & wonder WHY? Why me God? Why did I have to endure that? We even wish it was just a dream & hope to wake up & go back to the way it was before, but it doesn't & we move on. We make the best of it & learn from the experience & grow stronger! God doesn't wish harm upon us but sometimes He yanks us up by the seat of our pants to get our attention so learn from it & keep your hunger. But most of all, I hope you dance!!!

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

Music Company...

Here is a picture of the office at the music publishing company I work at in the town where I live (Cedar Creek). It is in the people's home & this is a picture of a few of the awards they have on the walls. Some of the famous artists that they have published songs for include: BB King, Huey Lewis & the News, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, Billy Idol, Asleep at the Wheel, Tower of Power and even Willie Nelson. One of their latest groups is a Christian Rock Band named Life in Rescue from San Antonio, TX.

It is very casual & laid back there. I could almost go dressed in my pj's & fit in. =) Next week I will be working 4 more hours a week so I will be working Monday, Tuesday & Thursdays 1/2 a day.

SELF...

Do you ever get frustrated with your friends? Especially that special one?! Well my 'self' got in the way with my friend & now I have to say I'm Sorry. =( I love all my friends & appreciate them being there for me.

When your friends are going through things, sometimes you don't know b/c they don't say much (unlike me!!!). When you don't talk to them as much or hang out with them as much - it might be b/c they are going through something. It may not be b/c they don't want to be with you or talk to you - even though your 'self' will tell you otherwise. You should just pray for them & encourage them. =)

It's Friday...

So have you ever had one of those days where you wanted to say this real loud?! Well today kind of felt like that. Have a GOOD Weekend!!!
