Tonight I am a bit tired. At work I was busy doing payroll and other stuff. Everyday is something new. After work we had a small party for one of the tellers who will be moving to Mississippi in the next couple of weeks. It was a surprise for her. Most of her coworkers contributed to get a gift card to JCPenney's since she will not have a lot of room in her car. It was a nice party.
Now I am home. I was going to scrapbook but instead got on the computer and was on Facebook for a little while. It is always interesting to see who is on and what they happen to be doing at anytime of the day. Now I am writing this blog. I don't have much to say because my mind is tired and I am not thought provoked right now. So maybe in a few days I will write more and have something interesting to say.
Until then,
Blessings to you~~

Random Thoughts
I know I had thought I would be more consistent in my writing but I let other things get in the way. Plus it takes a lot of thought to put my thoughts down in written form.
January was a busy month for me. Last time I wrote I was telling you about Christmas. Now it is past Valentine's Day and a lot has happened.
Most up to date yesterday I went to see the movie "He's Just Not Into You." I would not recommend the movie. It did however give me a lot to think about. I found it sad that marriage is not sacred anymore. It is portrayed as a negative. Relationships consist more of who I can get into bed with the next time I am looking for someone. How sad! There are rules to the dating game that are so complex that nobody is interested in the truth. It truly is a game and the game is not much fun.
After the movie I went to dinner with a few friends. We tried a restaurant in Niagara Falls called Shorty's. I had the Ultimate Shorty's wrap with chicken. It was delicious. I should have just ordered the wrap and not the fries because by the time I was finished I was more than full. The food at the restaurant was inexpensive and delicious. I would recommend the restaurant.
Since the beginning of the year I have been playing tennis on Saturday mornings. It has been invigorating. The clinics have consisted of 7-10 players. We are drilled on different aspects of the game. This past weekend the coach had us all working on our slices. I am not very good at a slice but I am improving. After the two hours of tennis, I was whipped. I plan to head back this week for some more. Yeah!
The past month God has been speaking to me about different areas of my life that I need to work on namely Pride and control. In some ways, the two are intertwined. Pride believes "it's all about me" and control means "to have things my way or no way." God doesn't want me to be like that. It has been neat the ways He has used conversations, devotions or sermons to confirm the changes He wants to take place in my life. I am always excited when He uses 3 different ways to show me His plans. He is still working on those two areas and when I have more complete thoughts on the changes needed in my life, I will let you know.
Please pray that I will always have an open ear to what He wants me to hear. I just don't want to hear, I want to listen and apply the instruction He is giving me.
Thanks for listening!~
