GRACE
In my "surfing the web" i stumbled onto this quote on a blog and thought I'd share...I'm still rolling in over and over in my little brain...
"The best of us are not nearly good enough and the worst of us are not bad enough that His grace can’t reach us."

STRESS
Back on the board again :) I have been majorly stressed out lately. Work has been so slow so I'm board all day long. I hate being board. I rather be busy getting stuff done than sitting at my desk losing more of my brain cells to the Internet every day. But our business is so slow right now. We all were asked to take a 10% pay cut and just yesterday they let go the sales girl. So looks like 10% pay cut and 10 % work increase. I'm so grateful to have a job right now despite today's rocky economy. But the stresses of life, money, and change can really grate on this board mind of mine for 8 hours of the day. My brain is constantly going about maybe we should do this, or school should I go back to school, am I doing enough, what am i not doing? ? on and on...So this mornings reading was this and it really brought some much needed peace to my heart and mind so I'll share....
"Apart from me you can do nothing?" Or, in the same context, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in me and I in him, will produce abundantly, for apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15, passim or 1-8). Clearly, Jesus is not talking about our ability to tie our shoes or operate a computer. He is stressing that the strength we need to better our world, to begin each day with hope and courage, to persevere in the good, all this is made possible by our sharing in His life. Our dependence on Christ does not limit us but allows us to do what our weakness and lethargy would not. If we live in Him we live with His strength."
I forget that there is someone far greater than me who is in control who I can rest in and know I can't do enough, say enough or have the for site to be ahead of the ball on all things...but he does and he holds the favor and me in his hands. Have a great day!

Walk of Peace
I missed Obama's speech this morning and I really wanted to hear it...so I found it on CNN and read the transcript. I have to say I loved his speech today....I do like most of his speeches and the approach he seems to have to politics and world stuff. I in fact am quite the fan and yes voted for him. But I took this from the end of his speech today its quotes from the Bible, Talmud, and Koran. In truth we all do want the same things and desire the same things for our family and community. Blessings to you all and may the walk of peace and love begin with you and let it begin with me.
"The Holy Koran tells us: "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."
The Talmud tells us: "The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace."
The Holy Bible tells us: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God"

Hello Summer!
Hello summer!! It has arrived here to the desert. 100 degree days and 80 degree nights. We are search of things to keep us cool. We spent that day at one of AZ's many man made lakes the other day. At least its water!! So we have a summer full of indoor plans and trips up north. We are heading to Portland this weekend! I can't tell you just how excited I am to go back for a visit. It has been almost 2yrs since I've been there. I miss my friends so much! I'm so excited to show Chris the Portland piece of my life and introduce him to all my friends. Plus we have a wedding to go to and 2 babies to see! :) This week couldn't go by any slower!! Love you all!

Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day all!! I'm loving having the day off...well that day that is. I do have to work a couple hours tonight. But nice to have a day off for a change. Just dropped off Chris at work. He picked up some hours this weekend at his part-time job. He has been a working fool :) Just started his new job at Wells Fargo! There are places that are hiring. Thank God. So currently we are both working 2 jobs and trying to pay off our debts as aggressively as we can. Life is good and God most certainly has us in his hands. It will be 96 today! Getting hot! My least favorite time of year here in the desert! Makes me homesick for the east coast summers! I so miss them! We will be BBQ-ing by the pool today before I head off to work got some steak, fresh corn and fresh pineapple to throw on the grill...all are welcome :). Love and miss you all!
