This has been a crazy busy week. Busy with typical things like laundry, juggle children and work duties, and of course church duties... but with a few extra hurdles to jump.
So, the night of my first post, my daughter got up at midnight missing her blankets on her bed. As I walked her back to her room, I noticed she was wearing two pair of pajamas... odd! Then upon entering her room, all of her blankets were gone from her bed and not in her bedroom. The poor child had sleep-walked and put on extra PJ's and took all of her blankets and sheets and hid them in the bathroom. Needless to say, she was embarrassed. But I am a mom and one of my jobs is to share every embarrassing story with the world. HA HA
Tuesday morning I had to speak at a real estate agency on FHA guidelines and the appraisal industry in general. I was nervous, but I generally am a pretty good speaker. I felt like everything went well and Thanks Be To God that I did not get any questions I couldn't answer. And I did get several thank you calls afterward and a thank you card the next day in the mail with a gift card to a great restaurant. I must say, sending thank you cards may be old fashioned, but it is still so cool. Note to self: show more gratitude because it makes the one who deserves it very happy.
Wednesday I had to speak for the women's mission group at our church (which I do monthly) and we learned about John 14: 1-12. I say "we" because as I studied for my talk, I also learned. A very familiar set of scriptures, but in verse 12, it says that Jesus said we should do as he is doing (paraphrase). If we do as he is doing then, the three things I learned is we should: 1) spend time with the Father God (pray, listen for God); 2) Love people (even those who seem unloveable); and 3) show people the Way to eternal life (which of course is through Jesus - as He said in the prior verses). Very cool. Now, just doing it is the key.
That is so funny, that is major sleep walking. Great advice on remembering our gratitude:)
