i dont really have anything to blog today because all that i needed to say i handed over to the Lord, kneeling before Him at my kitchen sink. if that doesnt sum up my emotional overload day in a nutshell nothing ever will.
the day started with 4 hours at the "car place" when i took the grand am in for an inspection, which only passed after i put $280 into it. it wasnt completely a surprise, we knew we needed some new tires, but the finances didnt appreciate it very much. i on the other hand, didnt so much mind the 4 hour wait because i am in the midst of reading a very good book, at first sight, by nicholas sparks...its so good and i dont really ever get time to read at home!! and the ladies, who are twin sisters, that work at the car place (one is the owners wife) they are regulars at starbucks and i have gotten to know them pretty well over the last few years in the drivethru...it was nice to spend some time chatting with them too!
when i got home i was feeling overly motivated, so i packed up all the christmas stuff, the tree and everything. got the livingroom put back together, rearranged some things to try it out a different way for a while. i also rearranged the familyroom so tuscan had somewhere to set up his geotracks now that he has almost the complete set!
i have a pile to drop off at goodwill, i have a pile to drop off at the consignment shop...anything i could do to try and max out the end of the year. im starting the new year on a new leaf...handing more over to God than i ever imagined i would and already i am starting to feel better (i think) the unknown is always a scary thing, but i just have to keep reminding myself, He has always provided, we have never gone without, everything happens for a reason and its all in His time. God is good and may He bless us all in the coming year.

Hey Shan~
I just had to comment on your post. You are an amazing person. Your faith is inspiring. I am so glad that I have you in my life. You and your words help to keep me grounded. 2009 is going to be our year. We can help and support each other thru it all even though we are 1200 miles apart.
Love you~
Love your blog for today! It is such a freeing feeling to be able to turn things over to God! I'm very impressed with your faith as well! I think it would be great if you Mandy and I could really help each other grow in our faith and walk with God. It's nice to have friends that you can share that bond with! I think at times I am not vocal enough about my faith. I tend to be afraid of being to pushy but am learning if I just speak from my heart it's ok. And, you are soooo right! God will always supply our needs! Not always the way we think or expect. Alot of times we have it figured out and He comes up with a way that is soooo much better than we thought! Looking forward to a great new year!!!
You two are the two most wonderful and strong BFF's a girl coulds ask for. Thank you for being mine!
