I've been "practicing" obedience (ya know, that whole *crucify your sinful nature, put on the new one* thing) and have had many opportunities to try and lay down my anger and be patient..... Pretty much suck at it so far but I'm not giving up! Ha! And God's not giving up on me. Anyway, it all feels like really HEAVY stuff and I just need a break from it to breathe for a second. So lemme lighten it up by mentioning some really awesome blessings that have come my way:
- I have been craving this oversized cardigan at NY&Co for awhile now but just couldn't reconcile spending 50 bucks. Then I found one just like it at a local store for $13. And one of my graduating 5th grade students had given me a $10 gift certificate I was able to use so I got what I wanted for back-to-school for $3.00! Can't beat that!
- By a clerical error, we've been slightly overpaying our mortgage payment (which has been automatically withdrawn since January). When I called to ask about a conflict I saw on our statement, they said they will NOT be taking our money next Friday for July's payment and will cover our August payment with the excess we've already paid!!! :D We won't have to pay our mortgage until September! Thank you Jesus!!! We needed this breathing room right now! *phew*
- I will *hopefully* get to spend the whole day in Charleston next week with my friend Stephanie just taking photographs and exploring. :) I haven't done that since we moved down here....Prolly the neatest thing I've done all summer!
- I won two tickets to go see Guster in October! :D Yay! I like that song they have on the radio right now but mostly I just love 99.3 WXRY and I can't believe I actually won something!!
- I'm going on a "Celebrate Mommy Weekend" with my friend Cheryl next weekend in Concord Mills. Both of our moms are coming and since we're new mommies ourselves, we're bringing our babies to meet for the first time (Caleb and Kennedy). So excited! :)
- My friend Heather is town!!! :D
