Martes (es Tuesday en Espanol)

Hola!

Not a lot to journal about…lol…I don’t feel the need to fill you in on the life and times of me from yesterday….went to work…came home…walked the dogs with husband…then scrubby and farm girl looking I hopped in the truck to run to town with husband…ok so maybe I’ll fill you in a little bit on the life and times of me…lol

So in town (the tiny town we live near) we first went in to the video store because our neighbor owns it and his truck was in the parking lot so we went in to talk to him. He is running for Magistrate. Being transplants to KY we are a little green on the whole KY local political offices. So we asked him what a Magistrate does. And basically, they help make decisions for the County…like as far as what roads to repair and other ins and outs of where to spend money…county wide trash collection etc…so that was interesting to find out….husband has an interest to hold a political office. Well…let’s put it this way…he’s excited that he turns 35 this year because then he can run for president…lol…now I totally don’t see that in his future (Depending on who was running against him, I couldn’t really, in good conscience, vote for him. Does that make me a bad wife? Lol)…but I could see him doing well in a local office…especially in the area that we live…he totally fits right in…but the first step would be to figure out what all the little local offices are so that maybe in the future he may run for something…lol…I’ll keep you posted!

Ok…so after we talked to the neighbor in his little po-dunk video store, we went to the hardware store to look at paint chips. I have picked a color and husband actually likes it…but we didn’t get the paint yet cuz we gotta think on it a little bit…I do not recall the name of it…but I went in with a sort of tea stained, ecru color in mind…which is sorta of a dirty yellow tanish color…I’m not describing it very well…but anyway….they had the exact color I was envisioning…and again I cannot recall the name of it…I’m going to look at Walmart today and see if they have any colors that strike my fancy too…but anyway…I also have to get some tools for taking off wallpaper…the upstairs of our home is laced with these wallpaper border things…I’m not much into wallpaper borders, especially these bad floral ones that someone in I’d guess 1985 attached to the walls up there….if anything I may paint a border….but generally, I prefer maybe crown molding or nothing…it also has that popcorn ceiling…which I hate…but that’s throughout the house and not easily replaced so I’ll live with that…lol

Then after the hardware store we thought to run in to the little grocery and get stuff for supper but then we decided to eat at our little local restaurant instead…I think the senior citizens of the town were holding a meeting cuz there were a lot of em at a big table…lol…

Then we dashed home cuz I had a meeting to go to at church…and then I came home and that’s about it...

Please pray for our church…we just need some wisdom and guidance in a few areas that we’re not growing like we want to be…

Ugh…growth…I, a lot of the times, feel like I’m not growing spiritually the way I should be! I am constantly thinking (and praying) if I could just get my act together…Does anyone else feel like that? Why can’t I stay focused on Christ always?

Lord, help me to seek your heart daily and first…not as a last resort…not only when I am down…not only when I need something or am feeling guilty about something…not only…but always…

Thanks in advance for the prayers!

Have a blessed day!

P.S….the lessons Sunday in the Song of Solomon class were….women like men to listen with their face (meaning make eye contact fellows! Lol)

But I really liked this quote….”Women don’t want a perfect man, but they do want a perfectable man.”
