Beating Monday Blues

-





So waking up on Monday morning (yesterday) was kinda rough. The day was kinda challenging. But I found some great Monday motivation to get the day started and that really helped. I posted this on Instagram:
I love this because it's a great reminder that God doesn't promise us that we won't go through tough situations and pain, but He does promise that He will take care of us and replace what we have lost if we trust Him.

Fabulous reminder. Much needed.


In FCS after school, Ashland talked to the kids about the choices we make and how they cause us to sink or float and it was great. Then she posted this quote:


If you can't read it, it says:
"Every day can be exciting if we see ourselves as God's secret agents, waiting to sprinkle a little salt on all the lives we encounter. And we know that because we are deeply loved by God, we can never run out of love - no matter how much we give away."
- Joyce Meyer

That quote yesterday was just a great reminder that no matter what kind of day (especially a Monday) we are having, we can take comfort in the fact that God LOVES us and we can give His love to everyone we meet and never run out!

There was a torrential downpour yesterday, and Emery was caught in it for like two seconds before we got her in and then we hung out for a while because puppy therapy is the best therapy.




The second best therapy is doughnut therapy, and I got plenty of that last night! Sarah, Jimmy, and I went to Krispy Kreme and I stuffed my face.



I tweeted about it, and KRISPY KREME REPLIED, HOPING MY DAY HAD GOTTEN BETTER. If it hadn't already, it would have after seeing that!
I'll back KK any day, forever and always because they not only make bangin' doughnuts, but they seem to really care about their customers.
So now me and Krispy Kreme are tight, and the doughnut girl in me was like
#GOALS



After KK, Sarah, Litsa, and I went to see Pitch Perfect 2, which I'd been dying to see.
We ended the night laughing
and kicked the Monday blues.








Monday made.

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
