God Is in the Small Things

God knows our needs! I know it is a small thing, but God is in the small things. This past Tuesday, I did not take the time to make lunch to take to work. I ran out of the house and went to work. I checked my checking account online at work and I had a 0 balance. Normally, I have an anxiety attack when I find that I have a 0 balance, but this time, I said to myself, "Oh well," and continued working. My co-worker came to my office door and told me she would buy me lunch. Thank you Jesus! We went to a nice restaurant and had a nice lunch.

God is Good!

Rhythms

Recently, I have been talked to and talked to about my habitual lateness at work. Why am I late so often? I have no real excuse. I do believe it is a passive-aggressive streak in me. I am not enjoying work and the politics, so I will get back at them by being late. It is childish and of course is only hurting me. So, I definitely have to create a new rhythm. For one week so far, I have been on time. This is the new rhythm I am creating.

Wake to alarm
Devotions
Exercise
Breakfast
Fix lunch
Get dressed
Take 7:19 AM bus

Bathe at night
Lay out clothes for next day
Get bag ready
Devotions
Go to bed

Finding My Style

My first entry is in response to a Wings To Soar weekly challenge.

Colors that catch my eye are:

Purple is for royalty. My bedroom is lilac.

Lately, I have been interested in greens, particularly yellow green.

Red for me is bold. I really would like to try red, orange, or yellow in my home, but have yet to do it.

Furniture that make me drool.

I like hardwood floors.

Wicker

I like to wrap myself up in a nice heavy blanket.

Believe it or not, I've never really thought about flowers. Sure I love to receive them and I rarely have received them, but for the sake of the challenge, I'll give this a try.

African Violet

Lily

Roses
