beautiful weather... but under the weather

Today I was sick... I think some of it was allergy related but it was no fun. I felt all weak and had a soar throat a head ache and a tummy ache... so I laid around most of the day and was thankful I had pictures to edit so I could still accomplish a lot.  So I completely finished editing and printing for both Elena and Garrett's Wedding as well as for Gary and Penny's shoots.

 I also got to go to my woman's bible study this morning were we talked about Saul and Samuel.  It's been really great to meet with other ladies from the church and get to know there lives.  I feel very comfortable there it is a great safe environment where we all share what we have learned. I am really enjoying being around a bunch of knowledgeable ladies that are hungry for Gods word.  One Lady said that it's great how Gods word speaks to all of us even though we are all in different places in our lives and all different ages.  I am blessed to be a part of such a group that accepts me for who and where I am : )

Stuff I learned this week is that I have a hard time waiting... who me?  YES!  Discontentment is a breeding ground for all things evil.  That quote really stuck hard because looking back on my life when i made bad dissections it was often if not always because I was impatient and discontent and wanted to take matters into my own hands especially my own time table. Not a good thing.  Because I also learned this week that sometimes God gives us what we want and sometimes that is the worst thing possible and the farthest thing from what would be best for us.  Heres another one that hits hard... Horrible situations happen in our lives that sometimes we don't deserve.  This is hard for me because in my humanness, I become so wrapped up in rejection from others that sometimes I feel like i'm being punished by God through their actions toward me. Sometimes that can be just the opisit we learned that from Psalm 139:23-24  I could go on and on but one more thing it was good to be reminded of is that God always gives us warnings before we sin. That's hard because most of the time I give ecuses like well I just can't controle myself... but that's very far from the truth and this is clear though many places in scripture including Jeremiah 11:7.

After Garrett got home from working really hard all day he took care of me and made me dinner and we curled up on the couch and watched a Netflix.  Then we strolled down town and ran into the High School bond fire downtown by the Landing.  Garrett loved seeing people he knew. I love my hubby!
