Refreshed!!

I got my earrings yesterday, so I had to wear them today!!! I couldn't get my kiddos to take a picture (although this one was happy to be in it) so I tried to do it myself.  I am loving my new earrings!!

I have had a weird day.  I went to TJ Maxx to exchange some pj's for my daughter.  I stood in line forever.  I got to the register, started to process, and realize that we didn't not get them from TJ Maxx but Marshall's!! I was majorly embarrassed to say the least but hey.  This bring me to my next random thing.  While I was at the store this older lady stopped me.  She gave me some "VERY" encouraging words.  She even left me with a scripture, it's the scripture I've been reading this week.  Call it what you want but it gave me chills!! 

Some times when you are on a prayer journey things can look very bleak.  I know sometimes I wonder if I even "REALLY" want what I am earnestly praying for.  Do I want it more than what I am  sacrificing?  I get tired sometimes and other times I am rejuvenated.  I often think about how I comfortable I am if I get what I want I might have to "change".  Whew, don't talk about change or the praying might come to a HALT!!!  Then I have to refocus my attention, think about the bigger picture.  Sometimes it happens in an instant and other times it takes months.  I am so glad God is constant and consistent because I know that when I base things on my emotions (which we shouldn't do) I am not. I am thankful for the lady that felt bold enough to stop and share with me today.  I am thankful that despite what it appeared to be, I felt God speaking directly to me.  I am feeling refreshed!!
