Yes, I am doing my happy dance tonight. It comes right after the snow dance a few coworkers and I did after school today. It worked!! We have no school tomorrow!!
This past week has been busy. It's easier to tell the story in pictures.
I really need to find a new pair of shades. Blake calls me "Hollywood" b/c he says I look like the actresses that wear them when they are looking rough and trying to hide. HA!
I started my winter Bible study at Shandon this past week. Large group of ladies but I think the study will be good.
I did this to give my coworkers a little chuckle. I found this braid on my floor. I am sure it belongs to a student that I had to tell to please stop putting her hair in during my math class. When I found it on the floor, I hot glued it to the outside of my classroom door with a "Lost and Found" note above it. My coworkers took pictures of it and told me it was priceless.
This is how I drive. Usually my cell phone is in my seat along with my Dt Mt Dew. Yes, I have a cup holder, but usually it is filled with something other than a drink. My SUV is a mess. (Yep, wearing my favorite "boyfriend" jeans again.)
Hit pay dirt this weekend. I got two tops, four scarves, a pair of earrings, toothpaste and gum for less than fifty bucks! This top was three dollars!
Sweetness or ET? HA!
Pork rolled around spinach and mozzarella cheese...The Colonel loved it; I disliked it. Not going on the "keeper" list.
Publix was out of the pecan bars, so I decided to try the roasted almond. OMG! Delicious! I eat these every morning on my way to work. Perfect breakfast along with a Diet Mt Dew.
I have a thing for roosters in my kitchen. I thought this one would be cute for spring.
My earrings I found.
OMG! Now THIS chili is a "keeper." It was so good. I jazzed it up with onion, diced tomatoes, bell pepper and kidney beans. I had this with a big hunk of cornbread. LOVED IT!!
Keeper
I was craving fried pickles so I picked this up from the grocery store. I think I over-cooked them. They were hard and not the flavor I was wanting.
Sunday I got to the sanctuary early b/c our Sunday school class got out early so the choir members could get to the choir room. Alberta (You know her as the fabulous Mrs. Stewart) was finishing up a little practice session before worship. I recorded a few seconds of her practicing. (Below) My phone video recorder does not do her justice. I agree with our pastor when he said that hearing Alberta Stewart sing is like a little piece of heaven. It isn't just her voice, but her spirit when she sings. Sure she is singing for us, but you KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt, she is singing for her Jesus. She has such joy on her face and you can feel the words she sings. It is hard to explain. Literally every time Alberta sings, I have goose bumps all over me the entire time she is singing. It is pure worship. Maybe that is the best words to describe her singing--pure worship filled with love.
I hope you'll continue to pray for the homeless family that I told you about in a previous post. Our guidance counselor has found housing for the mother and her six children, but the paperwork always takes time when dealing with government agencies. They are still in a hotel and teachers at our school are helping to pay for their stay until things get worked out with their new home. We are praying that this family is in their new home soon, and the children adjust to their new school as the move will take them out of town. We are trusting that the Lord has a plan for this mother and her six children and that He is working this sad situation out for good. How comforting to all of us to know that our God is the same today as He was yesterday--that He does not change. He loves all His children and "knows the plans He has for us."
Stay warm!
