On a day such as this, I feel like my words are so ill equipped to speak to the sacrifice of the men, women, and families that all contributed to the freedom we ENJOY today. . .so instead of a half baked ramble. . . .today I'm setting aside some quiet time to reflect and pray and just BE WITH THANKFUL THOUGHTS. .. .
So I started out thinking today would be a GORP update. . but that's not what's on my mind. . .instead I'm obsessing about making Leo's quilt. .the maroon corduroy was dropped on my lap (thanks Andrea!) It will be the border. I bought some black velvet for the squares. and the part I'm most excited about is the fabric pictured above, which I plan to use as the backing. .. how funky is that?? You should have seen the fabric store clerks raised eyebrows when I spotted this bolt of fabric from across the room, literally ran and dragged it back to the cutting table in a protective bear hug. . .what-ev. It will R-O-C-K.
Problem Secretary is another pleasant obsession lately. .. .no not our office managers at the farm;) They are superstars. I'm talking PROBLEM SECRETARY the font. . .I love fonts. .. as in I comb over font sites in my spare time. . .nerd love. Here's a peek:
I love it. . .PROBLEM SECRETARY. . it's just the type of quirky funny that I eat up. . fun.
I felt a bit like a problem secretary yesterday when I fell asleep during Bible Study. . ACK. . so embarrassing. .. and of course it's not like I nodded off and woke up discreetly and rejoined the movie. .. instead I did the large motioned flailing shaking trembling wide eyed wake up. .. where you don't have control of your limbs. . you are just dazed enough to be at your body's mercy. .. but conscious enough to be fully embarrassed about the shaky crazy show you've just put on for the ladies. . .awesome. . .to top it all off I forgot it was my turn to bring snack. . .my poor partner who was flat on her back sick still managed to send her portion. . but ME! Ohhh noooooo. .. no snack. . just the shaky time show. .. well, we all need to laugh at ourselves once in a while. .. yesterday was my turn. . .:)
Happy Wednesday everyone: Number 8 from the list is this:
8) It's O.k. to get angry with God. He can take it.
enough said. Most times we won't feel what we are "supposed" to. .. he knows our inner battles. . lie it out there for Him. .. be honest. . it's not like He doesn't know. .
Peace.
