Happy first Friday of spring!

Otters who look like Benedict Cumberbatch...

I hate Mondays...

Unfortunately, the "Monday-ness" began Sunday night...grrr...that's just not fair!!  **pouts with arms akimbo**

To counteract the general rotten-ness I present an awesome art blog:  http://www.thisiscolossal.com/  Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

from President "O'Bama" and me!

LOL...

So, I went to Jewel to buy pizza pie and fruit pie.  The bakery section was selling pi day cupcakes.  Um, okay, if only there was a delicious baked good that easily tied in to pi.

Feelin' feisty...

feist·y/ˈfīstē/

Adjective:

Having or showing exuberance and strong determination. Touchy and aggressive.

Exuberance and strong determination?  Yep...it's in my DNA, the very fiber of my being.

Touchy and aggressive?  Oh. yeah.  It's on.

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 

2 Corinthians 4: 8-9

Sunday, I realized that I have been totally unaware of the amount (and sources) of pressure I've been under.  Before Sunday, I would've told you that I was crushed and despairing. But...not.now.  I am done being held down and driven under by the pressures of this world. I am a citizen of God's kingdom...God who loves me and made me and will never, ever, abandon me.  I will get knocked down, I will cry, I will be hurt but I will not be destroyed.

To whom it may concern:

I am not satisfied with what you have to offer...I will no longer be under your control, your influence.  You can't have my kids, my husband, our friends or our family...you can't have my gifts, my devotion, my time or my strength.  They belong to God and I.do.too.

God's Kingdom is coming and God's Kingdom is here...here and ever advancing...my true destiny.  Because God made me, because God gifted me, because God is always with me...I am a force to be reckoned with...

(...today and every day...)

This is My command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Brilliant...
