So I had SpongeBob in my purse, I decided to take his picture while at GJ one day.
He's sitting on my very doodled folder. As soon as we are done, I am bringing my doodled folder and the covers of my doodled notebooks with me. Apparently there is an art exhibit in NY titled "Juror Doodles". I do not know if I can part with my works of art but, I'll think about it...
Until next time...
So the last few days have been difficult for me, especially since I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve and get so over-emotional.
I said too much before, so I am trying very hard to not make this mistake again. But I just want to get out some of these emotions out and allow some to be aware of what is going on. This has actually been harder on me, than when I was fired from Cabela's. Go figure! I think it is because I love this job and have never been happier. It is the fear of the unknown, it is one of the worst feelings in the world.
I am worried for myself, for how things will turn out... I hope that everything works out as it should, and I am trying to place everything in the Lord's hands, but I still fear for the unknown.
I have been reading the Book of Mormon and I am in Alma. I keep hoping something will jump out at me to offer me some peace from my worries and fear. Perhaps I just need greater faith.
If anyone is inclined to pray for me, for James, for my situation, for J's health, for Foster to be a good boy, anything...I am willing.
Thank you.
Until next time...
And a PS Again I am so sincerely sorry for bringing this fear and worry and such to others. I truly did not mean it that way. I think and would hope that you know I would never intentionally hurt someone in any way. Please forgive me my hastiness, I am hoping my measures to correct this are enough and you can forgive me.
So, Friday night, James dragged me to 'Sticky Foot/Shoe' to see Twilight. While we were waiting to go into the theater, I saw in the 'gumball' machines they had these cool little SpongeBob toys and I had to get one.
So I put in my 50¢ and turned the handle. Ta Da... SpongeBob thingy. So, after we got into the theater, I decided to take SpongeBob's picture at the movie. So I used the little flashlight in my purse (James held it for me) and took his picture. I decided I'd let him live in my purse and take pictures of him in different places. So I plan on having him go to Chicago too, I'll take photos of him there too. I am excited. James thinks I am a freak, but thinks it is kinda neat at the same time.
So here is the first picture of SBob at Twilight.
I know of someone (probably more than I am truly willing to admit) who thinks the world has ended until at least eight years from now...
I am actually praising my Heavenly Father that we actually made it through the last eight, as intact as we did and praying that the remaining recovery will not take as long as I fear...
I just do not get it...
The more we pray for the current administration and the betterment of mankind at this time, the better we will all be. Our country needs our righteous desires communicated to the Lord through prayer, for support. We need all the help we can get.
If this seems ambiguous to you, I'm sorry, I refuse to be more specific. If this offends you, well, too bad, I think the office needs our support and our positive energy, not the negativity that some people are pressing forth from radio airwaves or whatever...
I just had to get this out.
Until next time...
