She passed you, too? LOL
spring/summer sounds doable, for sure....Don't have ballet slippers, can I just bring my bed slippers? lol
Yep ...
Our girl was zooming...and honeymooning with Hubbie 
@ bed slippers You can't dance in those. 
They stick to the floor surface. I tried to spin once :reddancer: -- my body turned one way and my feel stayed glued to the floor. I'll treat you to a brand new pair of official Ballet Slippers. They'll be the real deal.

Sidestepping the "lynch mob"
On patience with children:
Texas Teacher & Little Boy's Cowboy Boots
Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots?
He asked for help and she could see why. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on.
Finally, when the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat.
She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked and sure enough, they were.
It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on.
She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on - this time on the right feet.
He then announced, "These aren't my boots."
She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. And, once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet.
No sooner they got the boots off and he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em."
Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up the grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.
Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots...."

Lord Im tired.I'm tired of having to take meds to fall asleep.I'm tired of walking in anger instead of love.I'm tired of being on guard and having others who don't have theirs together tell me such in the most kind way they can.I'm tired of 8 page journal entries that start off with so much swearing and anger and end in a bit of hope and a desire to try again.I'm tired of this pain of wanting to know how to love,heal,and forgive which would lead to less anger and being able to handle my stress as I represent the kingdom.I'm so ready to be on point so I can help others but right now Lord I ask you place a extra dose of strength on those you have called on my life right now as I know I seem to be escalating to anger more.I'm ready for your peace I know you say your no respector of persons so Lord that peace would be nice and also that rest..Im ready to be filled with you and less of anger.I'm tired of feeling like walking away is the best way when it's not.

Dear GM,
Please allow God’s good word to cheer you up, it will make you whole. God’s word is the only true source of hope because it shows the will of Him who can help. Allow the hope of a good result to seep back into your heart. You will have to contonuously work at it. You will not feel like it. But do it anyway, your life depends on it, and contrary to what you are feeling, YOUR LIFE IS WORTH IT.

Iwanthealthyhair67 wow is all I can say..this is a blessing not only for me but anyone who is lurking.I feel bad but I know I can't operate in my bad feelings for long bc they will destroy me at work.My boss who I loved so much I guess I really didn't bc as I feel him going all hardcore on me for last nights events I see I don't nor can't care for anyone anymore on that level.I saw him as a father figure but now I see I have messed up one too many times and now I will have to fight for my job bc of my stupid mouth.I abore myself for always being my demise.I might as well resign and look into homeless shelters bc Im not able to see anything right now going well..its my fault so I guess we will see what will happen.I know if I had to fill unemployment it would be hard and bad.I want to cry but I can't cry over this..

^^You won't resign, you'll fight until the end. You can do it. Don't despair, get help. Is there a counselor you can talk out your feelings to? I have a feeling your bosses realize this as well and that they are encouraging you. Can you write them a formal letter or something or have a meeting with them? I know you want your job.

No my boss doesn't know actually.He knows somethings but not all.I want to do counseling where I can pay bc I need something more concreate for a while.Money is always a issue for me right now which adds to my fear..and I know God doesn't give me a spirit of fear but a spirit of strength.I'm going to battle until the end but I did clear my desk..

Maybe you could talk to a charitable org. that has free to low-cost counseling? I meant that your boss (according to your previous postings) knows that you are struggling in some area and seems to be encouraging you to hang on. I think it's fear, not money, keeping you from seeking the counseling. It can be daunting, but if you take that first little step, you are taking a huge one. Call your local hospital or university hospital and see if there are some ways to get free counseling. I think there are programs out there.

Money is more so than fear.I know what I need to do but it's a bit stiffing to do it if you get that.
What a woman thinks on or mediates on she will be.So as I dwell on and mediate on the negative things I become progressively worst.I need a new day a new time to start a new.I almost feel weird wanting another chance but I know God didn't give life to live in such a deformed state.I think I need to have a chat with my friend..thank you@Guitarhero..your the bestest..
At times I want to walk away God I mean I see so many being able to get their lives and have fun but I know you will not be mocked so I stay.I'm not happy Lord I want to have wholeness.One day it will be mine I just have to be willing to fight.

Is extreme couponing gluttony? What's the purpose of hoarding tons of grocery items if you have 2 folks in your family and you don't give to charity food kitchens or feed others? Are we that hooked on being surrounded by "things?" The smart man will portion away like the ants, working diligently, surely. But there is definitely something to "give us this day, our DAILY bread." I just don't get it. Or do I? Is there some place else where we hoard things? Is that lack of trust or gluttony of another source?

^^^ I feel the same way which is why I won't be going overboard on hair products anymore..I gave away a 50gallon bin of things to my old church and it was a great feeling..but some believe they needed 300 packs of noodles to survive along with a ton of Snickers..some ppl use shopping like anything else to escape their pain and realities.

Today is a great day.Why because I'm stepping outside of myself and looking at where I could be.I think I could be dead yesterday after this car cut me off badly..but God didn't allow it.Im having to study self love as I have gone through alot and believed that to be a christian I shouldn't think of myself at all however God's word says without love I'm nothing...I also havea issue of feeling inferior..I guess its true one can't go based off how I feel bc they change like a water in a lake.
