it’s true. it is now 12:30am, and i can’t sleep. again. i haven’t even tried to get into bed yet- i just know. i know the feeling of when i won’t be able to sleep. i do NOT want to crawl in my covers- toss and turn, roll around, mess up the nice, tight sheets, and get all tangled. so, here i sit. i have read everyone’s blog on my list- and even connected to other’s blogs on other’s lists….
i have been inspired twice lately to blog. the thing is, i have also committed to writing a blog for consumed once a month. this makes me feel like anytime i am inspired (not counting the quirky, weird kind of blogs) i need to submit it to consumed. thus, my own personal blog is lacking. i was instructed that i am not allowed to “double-blog”. i will inform you, my faithful readers, when my blogs are posted by consumed- so…
i’ve been rediscovering my inner night owl. for the past two years, i have made a valiant effort to turn myself into a morning person. i’ve gotten up at 5am for many, many months now. i prefer opening at my store because i love getting work out of the way for the day. i do not hate my job, but i hate going to work. (this would mean ANY job that i have to do. don’t mistake that to mean…
My heart? What is my heart saying right now? My heart wants to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who prayed for the AG Silver/Cornerstone Benefit Concert last night. All day long, I received precious texts, voicemails, emails, cards, facebook posts, and encouraging notes everywhere I turned. Thank you. God was HUGE yesterday. HUGE. He and I had some powerful moments, and I’m thankful we actually had quite a bit of time to ourselves. I know a lot…
whew! i can’t believe i just said, “whew!” i have reached a new level of nervousness/excitement about the upcoming concert. it is only a mere 3 nights away. (i like to think in terms of how many nights of sleep i have until the said occasion) tonight at church we had a long discussion about roles that need to be taken care of for this event. as details were discussed, i was sitting there getting nervous. my stomach suddenly had…
sometimes i sit at my computer and really have the desire to write a blog- but nothing happens. i type up a couple different paragraphs, then erase them all. tonight- all the things on my mind are more secret things, i guess. i don’t often think about my blog audience, i just write what’s there. but at certain times- i have to filter. normally this would be the type of paragraph that i would delete. not tonight. this is getting…
i never slept last night. not for one measley second. it was pure misery. after several hours of tossing and turning and putting on the covers and throwing off the covers, i started to freak out. horrors. i finished a book. i visited the bathroom a couple times. i tied a bandana around my eyes to keep out any form of light. i prayed. i quoted scripture. i renounced the enemy, who i was convinced was attacking me. finally, at…
I am sitting here in my living room, drinking my third cup of Pike’s Place Blend, (for those of you who don’t know- you can only buy PP in Seattle, at the very first Starbucks! A good friend got it for me on her last visit there.) keeping cozy on this dreary day. There have been loads of things going on in my life, but I am narrowing it down to only one to share with you today! God created…
i survived my first close in like a year. i’m already thinking of things i forgot. overall i think it went well. i’ll find out when i arrive back there in the morning. the best part was, the night went by really fast! it’s a scary thing this closing business. i was literally sick to my stomach and shaky b’c i had not closed in so long. it was quite weird. i’ve been there for almost 4 years and used…
i don’t know if i’m completely out of my rut, but i am certainly getting there. i really do not know what my “deal” is. i spent the day trying not to waste it by being down. i woke up early (5:38 am, what can i say- it’s such a routine now!) and never had a restful sleep, so i got up sometime after 9 am. i tried reading my Bible, praying, journaling, etc. but ended up just feeling BLAH…
