So stress can really stress me out.... just sayin'
I can be a real pill if I'm stressed out even if I'm stressed out with good and happy things. Such as this weekend is filled with friends coming to the house and going places to hang with my friends and even the fourth of July! I also work from 6am-4:30pm Thursday through Sunday.
All of this combined makes me a little antsie. I'm excited yet I worry I won't have time with God and time with Pete. Both I need terribly. SOOO Game plan---
1. Go to bed before 10pm
2. Wake up with enough time for a shower and taking time with Pete
3. Don't worry about how things are going to happen and go with the flow
4. Finally, Don't forget about my evening time in the Bible and devotional book.
This is my plan. I know what to do, it's just a matter of doing it and not letting the list stress me out too!
Harder said than done...

Copy Cat
I have a friend, She started a blog. I also have a husband named Pete Semple. He has a bunch of blogs of his own. I really like to journal so I decided to start a blog. I used to blog when I was in High School. I started with MySpace. I eventually deleted it and lost all that I had written. I regret that big time.
I'm reading Magnificent Obsession right now with my small group. I'm finally getting into it. I didn't really enjoy the first chapter. I have a feeling it was because I wasn't ready to hear what it had to say to me. As much as I want to grow in my spiritual life with Jesus Christ I know that I'm like a monkey. I'm sticking my hand into a jar to get a banana, but in order to get my hand out again I have to let go of the banana because my hand plus the banana are too large to get out of the jar hole. Despite this knowledge I refuse to let go of the banana that keeps my hand trapped in the jar. This is one of the illustrations in the book that hit me like a ton of bricks. I want to get closer to Jesus, but I know that I refuse to let him have all of me. Among other things I struggle with food. I've been dieting since I was 13 and have dieted on and off for years. My real problem is that I continually let it take a godlike position in my life.
My ultimate goal is to glorify God with all that I am.
This includes my thoughts, my eating behavior and other behaviors, my marriage, my friendships and so much more.
Throughout this blog I will talk about struggles, victories, emotions of all sorts, and most of all what God is doing in my life.
