I don’t think I’ll ever learn. Seriously. I AM HARD-HEADED! Never, never start your day out with a post like this on your Facebook status:
Looking for ways to honor HIM today. What about you?
Why? Is that what you just said? Because you will do nothing but face a challenge every time you turn a corner. ALL THE LIVELONG DAY, PEOPLE!
What I thought was a great little saying actually followed me around everywhere I went today. Oh I could easily blame it on the hormones….yea, they’re a ragin’! But honestly, I have to give kuddos to the Holy Spirit for whispering in my ear reminding me I BELONG TO HIM!!
Monday automatically falls into the “boo” category in my book. Goodbye lazy weekend, Hello duty laced workweek! So just imagine my attitude this morning when that alarm (love ya, KLove) sang it’s praises in my ear. I was not feelin’ it! But I marched on, because I’m no quitter! 😉
Once at work, I made sure to be in the presence of every annoying student I could find. Maybe I’m just a magnet for noisy dudes who like to drum their hands, fingers, books, pens, feet, hats…or whatever else they can bang on desks. See, I told you I was her-moan-al?! I felt a tad bit sensitive is what I’m saying and I’m ashamed to really confess it here. Some might call it witchy.
I did manage to hide it. No one picked up on my feelings of wanting to keel them with my bare hands. Oh I kid! You’ve heard of the evil eye, right? Nevermind. I’m joking. Remember, I was looking for ways to HONOR HIM. My eyes were sparkling! 🙂
It was the highlight of my day when I pulled into my garage and spotted 2 boxes had been delivered for me. I’ve been waiting patiently for my Lilly Pulitzer agenda to arrive. It’s a replacement to the one I ordered last month (the one with a flawed page). I had ordered a sweet Lilly tumbler too since I’d dropped my other cup and shattered it last year.
Both items had arrived! Yay!
The problem? When I opened the Lilly agenda box….it turned out to be a tiny little POCKET-SIZED book! The first one I received was double in size. I felt sick! The reason? I’d ordered a Large agenda a few weeks back for my girl Ally and when it came it was the same size as my SUPPOSED pocket-sized one. I called the company and explained THEIR error and the owner agreed to reinburse me the cost difference .
Yea, this stuff really does happen to me. Beware! You’ve been warned!
Surely you know where I’m heading right? Now…..now that I have placed the Honor Him challenge upon myself–I have to call the company back and admit my terrible mistake and give back the money (hubby says, it’s not been put back into my account) that I felt so confident was mine! Oh, man!
Why me?
Lord
Thank you for keeping me humble. While it’s painful to admit, I really do appreciate the way you trim and snip my branches.
Amen
On a HAPPY NOTE–I ordered my AWESOME LILLY cup from Purse Lady Too. Not only was it less than you can find anywhere else….it came with FREE SHIPPING! I ordered it on Friday night and received it today (Monday)!! Thank you PLT!!! I don’t want to whine about how long it took to get 2 agenda books (from other companies) and HOW MUCH THE STINKIN’ SHIPPING WAS!! No, I don’t want to tell you. Cause, this is a HAPPY NOTE!!
