Monday, November 7, 2011. So I have officially become "stir crazy". I thought with how busy at work I've been, and how busy my Etsy shop. Has kept me.that surely I would just stay focused and not even think about the "wait" and then one day.BAM. we'll be at #1 on the list and just waiting for our phone to ring. UGH. why isn't it happening that way? Today in my Jesus Calling book it said, "I know what you need, and I have promised to provide all of it - abundantly". I am training you to depend on Me alone.

We went to my bosses lake house and Lyla had fun in her sun hat! Checking out the golf cart. She lifts up really well. She would rather be on her back when she's awake, so she quickly rolls over. Oh my sweet, sweet girl! She is growing so much! 12lbs, 10oz and 23.25" to be exact. So after consulting my friends at CHVC. My sweet friend Kerri helped me too! Pardon my face ...

The phone rang…panic set in. They could hear it ringing but were unable to find it. In her purse? Searching frantically for the small black cell phone that was set down during the chaotic scramble one Friday afternoon, they found it, but missed the call. The expectation of that call had been lingering for hours. How could they have missed it? 8221; This would be the last stop of the day. The young girl’s weekend could now get started. The young girl unbuckled his seat belt and slowly reached in for him&#...

Confessions of a Paper Freak: July 2012
http://confessionsofapaperfreak.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. Not a Poster Child. Have you ever heard the phrase, "The cobbler's kids have no shoes."? The essence of this phrase is that sometimes a professional is so busy caring for their clients and their business that they neglect using their skill to help their own family. My friend Brooke's husband used to have a side business helping people with their computer woes. Brooke didn't have a working printer in her house for years. Did I mention I sell Day Planners?
