Hodge Podge Wednesday!! Yeah

1. Have you ever played golf? Any interest in playing? Do you have a significant other who loves to play? Did you watch The Masters this past weekend?

I played golf once with my hubby. I wasn't any good and my hubby told me to never try again. Now every time I mention trying again he laughs and tells me not to waste my money. My hubby does golf. I did not watch The Masters I was spending time with my family.

2. Hats are back in fashion this spring...how do you feel about wearing a hat? (fyi-I'm not talking baseball caps) When was the last time you wore one? 

I do not where hats much cause it would make my hair stand straight up in the air with static. I do like hats just don't know if I am a hat person. But I did wear a hat this winter cause IT WAS COLD!!

3. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 meaning proficient and 1 meaning "I'd starve", how adept are you at using chopsticks?

1 definitely staring for me! I can use them a tiny bit.....

4. Has technology taken over?

I do not think technology has taken over but it has definitely taken a huge step.  I mean they do surgeries with robots now too. But, they still need the people to run the machines and computers. So I would love to be one of those people in my studies I am studying computer technology in health care and would love to be a part of it.  

5. In the course of a day how often do you look in a mirror?

I might look in the mirror once or twice but I am not that girl who checks the mirror every time I pass.

6. Tulip or Daffodil?

I love both but if I have to choose it would be tulips!

 

7. I am proud of myself for __________________.

Furthering my education. I am in a Master's program now for Nursing Education and Informatics. 

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Our oil ran out! We got oil today but because our oil ran out our heater now needs to be serviced. The man is coming tomorrow. It is FREEZING!! We do have a fire place and lit it tonight but the flu does not open all the way enough for the smoke to come out the chimney I checked!!

and then I Dwell

My weekend was wonderful! The weather was great. I spent time with my husband went to a new Bible Study last night by Beth Moore which I am going to LOVE.

This morning, well its afternoon for me I just woke up feeling cranky! You know the feeling??? Is it a woman thing?? A menopause thing?? An empty nest thing? I don't know it just happens sometimes.
So what do I do? What I should do is fall ion face in front of God confess my sin and open my mind and heart to him so I can go on and have a wonderful day in the Lord. Is that what I do? NO! I fumble around the house picking at things that make me cranky. We have a well and septic here and have never has one before. When we bought the house we went through all the inspections everything checked out good. Then we move in my water smells like rotten eggs. I called the water place who service our water filters they tell me we need to chlorinate our water. So we do it takes all day; we have to then run all the chlorine out of the water, we do for 6 hours my water is running into the sewer in the yard. Should be fixed. A few weeks later it smells again! My hubby tells me to get used to it! I can't! I'm trying! I HATE IT!!! Just one of the things that make me cranky, so I dwell on it today, Why, because I can and I am a stupid sinner. I don't want to feel this way so why dwell??? I don't know?
My kitten now has to live in the garage because she had trouble with the litter box, she could not find it after many times of putting her in it. Moving it to where she was going, she still went on the floor, so she was banned to the garage. I hate it! I want to cuddle and snuggle with my kitten but I can't. I dwell! Why?
We got our taxes done. We owe money this year because we got money out of my retirement fund and did not find a house until 2012. So the money sat in a savings account and is considered income! This makes me crazy because now we are going to be paying TWO mortgages and I owe the government money also; so I dwell. WHY??

Now I read my devotion for the day and know I should not dwell on the bad. So Today I will try not to.....
This is what I know!...

• I am loved with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3)
• I am the apple of His eye. (Proverbs7:2)
• My name is engraved on the palm of His hand. (Isiah 49:16)
• I am carried through every storm. (Mark 4:34-41)
• I am watched over day and night. (Psalm 121:1-8)
• I am forgiven. (1 John 1:9) 

So I can not promise I will be perfect everyday because I am human and will always be human until Heaven. What I can promise is that I will try focus on the Lord and not dwell.
O I am sure I will still have days like this; which is why I am delighted that my God knows me inside and out and knows that I get like this and He forgives me!
Praise the Lord for Jesus Christ who came to die for me an ornery human who thinks some days the world revolves around me. Praise the Lord He loves me even when I don't!
