For the last couples of months I have listened to my customers telling me about their vacations. I was getting very discouraged because I can hardly afford to sit on my porch. We have only been on a vacation 3 times in the fourteen years we have been married. I wanted to go somewhere too. It didnt have to be extravagant or far away but I wanted to go somewhere anywhere. So God heard my prayer and allowed me to get a record number of sales at work that will give me a net of over $500.00. WOW!!! So my husband and I went for a couple of days to Niagra Falls Canada last week. We enjoyed a safe trip, nice weather, beautiful scenery and drew closer together.
Thats what I call a vacation. I feel truely blessed and thankful that God does give us the desires of our heart if we seek him first.

| Ok so I guess 2 and 1/2 months is long enough, I must update as Ashley says. So the last two Mondays I have gone down to Storey Square to listen to the music and enjoy the atmosphere.
this past week the band played oldies and polkas...mostly polkas. I had a hard time sitting still, I wanted to get up to dance but I havent polka(ed) for about 25 years. So I just chair danced. It was still good. It doesnt matter so much about the kind of music, its just nice to go sit in a pleasant place and enjoy your surroundings.
Other stuff...I am having a really hard time dealing with this time of my life and all that goes with it.
Also if you dont want to know what I think, dont tempt me! I can deal with other peoples stuff eventually but you have to help me to understand why you do stupid stuff and then expect everyone else to like it and not explain where you are coming from. I have an opinion too and I have just as much right to give it as you do. But when it all comes down, you know I got your back.
Vacation in 2 weeks...yeah... I may have to leave town for a bit.

| I really want to get Hip Hop abs video. It costs 3 easy payments of 19.99 plus 12.95 shipping. Why can't they just be reasonable? The price should be 20.00 to 25.00 and more people would buy it. I need to exercise and get my hip hop fix.
I have been doing alot of painting because I want new railings for my porches. So far I painted 78 spindle posts with one coat primer and 2 coats of paint and 8 rails. That is so far 23 hours of painting! Thats for one porch. Now to put it all together. Time for POWER TOOLS!!! I wanted the pre made vinyl railing but you do what you gotta do.
Not enough money means more work. But I have enjoy my evenings and days outdoors in the shade listening to music while I painted.

| Today I saw a man who I meet when I was a young teenager. I have seen him many times over the years, but today when I saw him he was reminiscing about when we first met and our mutual friend, my first boyfriend. As he was leaving he wanted me to know he was a different man now then he said "God has saved me." I was glad to hear it and said that he has saved me too.
All day I kept thinking about what he has saved me from. Not thinking so much of being saved from hell although that is true but I really just can't imagine heaven in my mind but am just as joyous about being saved. So what makes me so happy about being saved? Being protected from all the bad decisions I could have made over the years. I could have stayed on my path of destruction but he altered my steps. When I think of the men I have dated and wonder what life would have been like if I had married them. Gives me chills. He saved me from losing my job because I was faithful with my giving he was faithful in return. He saved me from accidents and illnesses many many times. He saved me from losing my mind when my life was a roller coaster spinning out of control. He has saved me from the clutches of evil and given me armor to fight the enemy.
He saved me to righeousness, though not anywhere near perfect, my sins are covered by his blood.
He gave me strength, courage, wisdom when I faced the battle. He gave me gifts of encouraging, helps, advocacy, compassion, etc. Believe me I didn't have that on my own. He gave me a large family, my church family, to be a physical presence. He is my rock, my shelter, strong tower. He gives me a place to run to when I need help. If He never does never does another thing for me, I will still be eternally grateful for saving me to the life I now have. So this Easter think about what He has saved you from and I am sure you will be able to rejoice!
