Happy Birthday to Jennifer Larry

It's Jenny's Birthday! I luv ya, gal!

it could be worse....right?

so, this morning i walked outside to get in the car on the way to work....and lo and behold, someone had kicked in my side rear door with their foot. yeah, there were muddy shoe prints all over and a HUGE dent in the side. i was like, WHAT? i mean, really...what's going on? so yeah, i didnt let it spoil my day. things actually turned out beautifully. when i got to work one of the other teachers had her digital camera so we took pictures..i called my insurance who said that it's going to be FREE for me to fix. went to the body shop this evening, and the guy is like we won't even have to paint, it'll be a quick job. and he fixed me up w/ a FREE rental car. so, the lesson learned??? life happens, and then God makes it all beautiful. im thinking, though, that it had something to do with the fact that i kept the right frame of mind. which, if you know me, you know that usually i do not keep the right frame of mind. (im a lil' emotional ;)) oh well, thank God for that. later..

thank, God.

so, i got this idea from liz w's yahoo 360 blog. (liz's blog -http://360.yahoo.com/profile-cL9sHVE0cbGNMuGPQnmlprn9oDTFEg--?cq=1 ) it was sooo encouraging, i started thinking about myself. here goes...

thank god for my job.

thank god for his chastisement, for whom the lord loves he chastens

thank god for the piano, it's a gift from god and anything from him is special.

thank god for the life he's given me, it's His plan for me and that's all that matters.

thank god for my test and trials, someone may wish to have my test instead of theirs.

thank god for my alone time, it gives me more time to get to know Him. there may be a time i wish i had this time with just Him.

thank god for my family in arkansas, i always have a place to go to "get away."

thank god for my financial situation, i have the necessary things I need. God has always provided.

thank god for my friends, i may not have a lot but we only need a few good ones.

thank god that i dont know where my life is leading, it just gives God even more control, which is what He requires anyway.

thank god for the waiting period, "for ye have need of patience that after you have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" hebrews 10:36

wow..that's powerful.

oh..these things have titles..imagine that!

today was allright. towards the end of the day my throat started giving out. im not used to talking so much or so loudly like constantly. but tomorrow's a half day of school. so that'll give me time to get my voice back. but, (sigh) a half day means meetings. hopefully, they'll be interesting.

encouraging scripture i read today..the devil rushed in today of course, but i've purposed victory. so i just had to sit down and really think victorious thoughts until i was ok. but God gave me this scripture too:

zechariah 3:1-2a "and he showed me joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. and the Lord spake unto Satan, the Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee:"

Thanks, God for rebuking Satan for me.

anyhoo, im a little unsure about how im going to do this. i love writing and i like the blog thing, but is this my journal too? like i already journal so that means im double journaling. you're probably like (not our problem, lupe.) oh well, i'll figure it out. let's see i know people like pictures..so let me find one. of course it probably has nothing to do with this post. but whatever!

so, im still new at this. here's the picture for the above entry. toodles!

oh wow! this is exciting. so i started this blog thing on yahoo 360..but for some reason couldnt post pictures. so i switched over..and...here i am! enjoy. ohhh..one more thing. so that you don't miss anything. here's what i orignally posted on yahoo:

so, im officially updating. nothing much going on. i started school (teaching that is.) i like my class. i've only got 20 students so far...and for those of you who dont know, that's heavenly. they're all pretty cute and well behaved. unlike last year! i also feel a lot more confident about teaching. its funny, i feel that way about playing the piano now too. like i know im still not a "tammy" or "sis. cardigan" but in a few years i'll be better. the thing that counts is that i'm enjoying it. and i'm learning new stuff all the time. well, nothing much going on. im going to try and start on my children's book. im like, why not??? i've got plenty of time and i love to read and write. :)
here's a nice picture of my mom, granny, and sister. don't they look lovely. i absolutely luv my family. yes, they can be a bit much at times, but i still luv them. see you guys for thanksgiving! to everyone else, until the next update!
