It's Ok Thursdays!

Today, I'm linking up with Amber for "It's Ok" Thursdays! I haven't done it in a while, or any link up for that matter, so I figured today was a good day to get back to it.

It's Ok...

-that I don't feel like doing anything at work today...I was up late last night caring for my poor sick puppy, Rowdy, so I'm exhausted!

-that I get aggravated with the returning college student's ignorant driving...it's been 2 years since I graduated so I do not fall into that category (and graduate students know better)!!

-that I feel like I could use a vacation, girls weekend, or just to sit in one of the chairs in the picture below for an HOUR...I've done nothing but go to work, clean when I get home, and deal with this ridiculously irritating Scabies skin infection so I think deserve one!

-that I am really excited about the predicted cold front coming in this weekend...even if it is just in the 80's that was be GREAT!!

-that I wish every week was only a 4 day work week like this week...it's been really nice thinking it's Wednesday when thankfully it's actually Thursday! Thank you, Labor Day!

- that I would love to just eat junk food tonight and do absolutely NOTHING...I've been eating pretty healthy lately so I think one unhealthy night wouldn't hurt. 

-that I miss so many of my friends that live away from me and that I haven't seen to the point I could cry! :(

-that I am super stoked about the first Texas Aggie football game this weekend as part of the SEC!!  BTHO Florida!! 

What are y'all "Ok" with today?   

Days 13, 14, and 15

First of all, thank you to those for your kind words and prayers after my last post!! I am in a much better place now and a lot of it had to do with you and my prayer group at church last night. It's amazing how God can transform our minds through prayer, His word, and the people He brings into our path when we need them most. :)

 

Day 13: Quotes and Verses

 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.   
James 1:2-4

This is my favorite verse in the Bible, because it applies so much to my life. I know trials are going to happen no matter what, but the way we react to those trials makes our rewards in heaven even greater. I have to remind myself of this every day.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will; 
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
A men.

 Day 14: I am looking forward to...

1. My hubby finally coming home tomorrow night!!

2. Prayerfully hearing that my sister passes her court reporting state board exam Saturday morning!

3. Going to the Texas Aggies vs. Idaho Vandals game Saturday night with our friends and my brother-in-law who's coming to visit.

4. Hopefully getting an interview for a couple possible jobs that have come up *fingers crossed*

Day 15: New Bloggers

1. Don't be afraid to be yourself or to talk about your real feelings! I am so glad that I've always been honest about who I am and how I'm feeling. I may not have a lot of followers, but that's OK because I know the ones that do are the ones who really care. :)

2. Have fun doing it! I have always enjoyed blogging and being able to talk about whatever I want to talk about. It'll be why you come back to read it again and again when you're older too. 

3. Link up with other blogs! I love doing these blog hops especially and also the weekly link ups such as What I'm Loving Wednesdays and Thoughtless Thursdays.  

National Champions Texas A&M Aggies!!!

CONGRATULATIONS AGGIES!!!!!!

Proud day to be an Aggie! :) You earned it ladies!

My family has always been very dedicated to Aggie Women's Basketball and this year Coach Gary Blair's hard work paid off!

I would LOVE to be at Reed Arena tomorrow when they have a welcome back celebration for them at 2PM, but I really need to go to a job fair so unfortunately I'm going to have to miss it. :(

 

Favorite part of the night..........

Coach Blair doing the Dougie!!!
