Monday Rambles & Wisdom

I have had too much coffee
there is a lot on my mind, and work is nuts - so I am opening the new post window and going to add sporadic thoughts!

First and foremost - I need to find a date for the OIO Buckeye Bash! The medical assistant (MA) of the surgeon who hosts this has demanded me to go this year, and I think I just may go. I don't need a date perse, since the Civic Center will be filled with fellow employees and doctors, but that is why I want a date too - I don't want to be a wall flower!! Ok crisis adverted - a couple of the MAs are reserving me a spot at their table! (seriously it is the little things that I worry about!!!!!) {OIO = Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio, which is a HUGE group of Orthopedic Doctors in my area}


I didn't do jack this weekend. Was called off from work both Friday night and Sunday days. Oh, I listened to B whine because he didn't feel well - aawww poor baby. I swear he whined more than Ducky who is cutting her 4 eye teeth and a couple molars all at once. We rented a couple movies - Hotel for Dogs (for Goose, but we all enjoyed) and The Proposal. No carving of the pumpkins commenced due to the whining - he wants to participate - I just want to get it done!



Oh - Kys over at Stir-Fry Awesomeness bestowed another award on me - smooches dear - my award show pales in comparison to yours, but I wanted to get this up ASAP!

I am passing this on to:

Ok I am off to see if some yummy parmesan crusted tilapia for lunch will help counteract this caffeine high I am on!

But before I leave I must post my......

Weekly Wisdom

Don't run from your trials.

Everyone faces many trials; however, these trials are not in vain. God uses them to do a work in us, developing us into mature Christians.

In James 1:2-4, we are told, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. In other words, God uses the tough times in life to sharpen us, making us mature and complete Christians.

Furthermore, God will not permit you to remain in the same trials all of your life; in His proper timing He will deliver you. Psalm 34:17 says, The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

So don't run from your trials, because the testing of your faith develops you into a mature and complete Christian.
