Monday Coffee Talk

What a BEAUTIFUL day it is!  The sun is shinning and the birds are singing and I feel good.  LOL  Maybe it is because I got 8 hours sleep?  I dunno?  Whatever the reason, I feel good and I LOVE IT!  LOL  I usually get 4 to 5 hours sleep.  How'd you sleep? Our challenge for today is to forget about your worries and cares.  Stop laughing!  I know what you are saying, "easier said than done" or "they are too important to forget" , or even "if you only knew".  Well listen, I am there with you.  I'm in the middle of so much right now, from a wedding, to getting my son, Torey into college, buying school clothes for my daughter, and being a Youth Director, but today, JUST ONE DAY, lay all your cares down, all your worries, let your mind be at peace and KNOW THIS, the sun is gonna shine again.  These worries will pass.  Sometime soon, these worries will be over and you will look back and say "that's what I was worried about?".  Too often in today's society and with today's life, we worry and look at the bad more than OUR GOOD.  If we will only learn to focus and see the good in our lives, we will see them more and live more positive!  Let go of the cares and worries today.  I promise you, WE CAN DO THIS TODAY!  I dare you! So, who's up?   What cha sipping on?  Me?  I'm LOVING this White Chocolate Mudslide Kim told me about last week!  I found it Kim and it sure is good!  Thanks for the heads up!  What are ya'll enjoying today? Ya'll have a care free and worry free Monday!  Love you all! On a personal note, I passed my ministerial licensure test and was presented with my Exhorter's License in last night's church service.  I passed the test the 1st time and that is VERY rare.  Something I have been afraid to pursue and WANTED to pursue for 31 years!  YES, I have wanted this since I was 10 years old.  I told my Mom and my Pastor at age 10 that I knew I was called to preach/minister God's Word.  This is a milestone in my life.  Thanks for letting me share this. 

Good morning Randy, I'm so happy for you............That is awesome that you passed the test the 1st time......It show's that your calling is Ministery.......I told Lucy that maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary we could have you renew our Vow's.......... Good post as usual.....Yep, today I'm going to just take it easy and have no worries.....I'll just Thank God for all the good in my life......Actually things are pretty good in my life..... Have a great day. Kelly

Wow - "forget about your worries and cares".  THERE'S something I never have considered doing!  But you're right - either they'll still be there tomorrow, or they won't, but the benefit of letting go and letting GOD take 'em over for a day has GOT to be worth it!!! What a cool idea - does it count if I set most of it aside yesterday, or do I get another whole day to forget about 'em?   CONGRATULATIONS on passing your test!!!!   Proof that you are right where you are supposed to be!  Hoping and praying that Allison is feeling 100% soon, too!

Good Morning!  Congrats on passing your test and becoming officially liscensed I think that is wonderful!  I will make every effort today to lay my worries down, I try to do this as much as possible as I have learned in my 29 years that I do not have any control that it is all up to God and that if I try to control things in my life they just end up getting messed up , I get stressed out and life is not very fun.  So, today I lay my burdens down at His feet and allow the Lord to guide me through this life on Earth.  This morning I am sipping on some Crystal Light Focus-Natural Citrus, it is my way of getting some caffiene in so that I can stay awake at work!  Have a great Monday!

Good Morning Randall......(and Lucy...too) I am going to try to not worry today. I have my cat scan today...6 month recheck on my kidney. I am keeping the faith that all will be fine. Congrats on passing the test!! That is just wonderful. Praise God! Not sipping anything this morning...I am fasting for the scan later (12:45). I miss my WATER!!! Have a great day!! Hugs.....connie d
