How I Spent My Weekend Off

Since I typically get two weekends off a month, I like to use my time wisely. Did I? I got off work at 0730 and got in bed by 0815 then I slept til noon. Trevor came by and we cuddled for a while (you're laughing right, that just happens to be one of our favorite activities since we see each other once or twice a month). He even surprised me with flowers. Aww sweet(: We slept off and on all afternoon til about 5:30 in the afternoon. Then our good friend Dave cooked us dinner at his place. We talked about politics and current events over steaks and vegetables.These guys are definitely entertaining! Then we watched Boy Meets World, season one and made a trip to the 1045 showing of Shaun of the Dead at the Edwards Marquee. Go see the movie if you haven't already, its hilarious and usually I stay away from "scary" movies. Finished the weekend off with church and then saw Trevor off. Don't worry I get to see him next weekend for 6 days straight! That's about it for my weekend off. Yes, oh so exciting I know.

Fruits of the Spirit: Peace

Lately, I have been trying to do a study on the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5: 22-23). I am up to peace. I looked at the index in my Bible for peace and I came across Psalm 119: 165. " Great peace have they who love your law and nothing can make them stumble." I am convicted once again on how I need to internalize Scripture, especially during this time I am away from many of my friends and family and I am still "becoming" a nurse. I will need to have that peace tomorrow night when I really don't wanna go work while Trevor and Dave have fun. 'Tis my life as a nurse. Lol, I guess that's why they pay me the big bucks. Seriously, I would have a lot more peace if I trusted, in those I love more, and especially in the Lord and the word which he has given to guide me.

Look at me (:

Trevor helped talk me into this, Dave, but my daily visits to your blog have been an inspiration....
As I told Trevor, its kinda scary having my thoughts posted. At the same time it's cool because few people know me so there's a little freedom. My blog definitely will not be as exciting or creative as Dave's---at least for a while--but that's ok. Maybe I will keep it updated more often than Trevor. Read on if you dare.....
