1. talking with people who know ( aka think they get it) see your point of view, but really have no clue. You know those people who think they get what you are trying to communicate but have missed the boat by a mile? Those conversations go no where fast!
People keep telling me to enjoy the season that I am in….so this summer I am doing just that! I’m being productive as well as enjoying my break, i.e., sleeping in until 10:30. But then the same people who keep telling me to enjoy the season I’m in right now—give me crap about sleeping in until 10:30. Seriously? :) Don’t be a hater. lol
I went to IKEA this week and bought a chair and a bookshelf and a lamp. I successfully put together the chair and lamp last night, but need to do the bookshelf. It should be a project but I’m ready to do it!!
Yesterday I took 3 former students to Jamba Juice and then to petsmart. All little boys who have such a difficult home life—so I gave one my number and told him to call me if he wanted to get out of his house this summer. He called on Monday night and said, “Miss Dobie can we go to Jamba Juice?”
We oooohh’d and aawww’d over every fish, snake, lizard, chinchilla and cat in the place at least 3 times before making it out the doors.
I just LOVE summer vacation! I feel like I’m on vacation every day living where I’m living!
Even with a washer and dryer, my electric bill is only 18 dollars!! YEAH!!!!
So much cheaper without quarters in my life!
"You are My Hope"
In Your Presence Here I bow, I am aching for you now
To touch you with Your love somehow, You are my hope.
And when my hands have gotten weak, from the empty things I seek
As I crumble here, You Speak, You are my Hope
And God most high, come and be near me now.
And Draw me nigh to your heart.
God of Life, fill me with your presence now
(Where I am humble, Where I am free)
When I'm hurting for a friend, I see the marks upon your skin
And they tell me once again, You are my hope.
Closer than a brother stays, the one who holds me in His grace
Forever, Yesterday, Today, You are my hope
Who have I have in heaven but you?
And beside thee I desire, nothing on earth.
what a week.
I had to have a conversation with someone yesterday that I did not want to have, but needed to be had. I wanted to respond via email, but wanted to honor the person by going face to face.
it was really hard to do even though I knew God’s will needed be done—and His ways are higher than mine. I think they got it, we’ll see.
