Shoe Dilemna
Have you ever wanted a trendy article of clothing that looks incredibly cute on everyone else but looks completely ridiculous on you!?!? Well, here's my dilemna. I want these shoes. I LOVE these shoes. I almost want to marry these shoes. I already knew I wanted to buy these shoes before I even tried them on. I was so excited.... Then, I put them on, and the ankle part swallowed my ankle. WHAT? I do not have skinny ankles. Anyway, they look stupid on me, and I'm not paying $60 to look stupid. However, if I see anyone else wearing these shoes, I will dead-leg them and run away.

God is bigger than the Boogie Man
Long time no post... I know. Life has been crazy here lately to say the least. We finished up our last regional competition this past weekend, and just when I thought I had time to breathe, I remembered that there is a bridal shower at my house this weekend, dance recital is three weeks away, and my house is in serious need of some TLC. Josh says he is ready for me to be a boring stay at home wife again. I told him maybe next week.
Anyway, I may not have taken off with updating my blog, but I have become a big fan of reading other people's blogs. There are so many people that have such wise and insightful blogs. It makes me realize that this world is so much bigger than my small little life in Prattville, AL. The quote below is from http://jodyrlanders.com/. Read this blog. This woman is so real and honest... She and her husband have four children of their own along with two children they adopted from Africa. Moreover, she chose to stay with her husband after his infidelity. At this point, I'm not so sure I would do that, but her reasoning for doing it, and the journey along the way are all so eloquently written. I read this and remembered that you never really know what you will do until you are forced to be in that situation. Hopefully, I'll never be there.
Here is the quote: Seeking God will not always result in fixes for life's problems. Instead, it will cause us to realize we live within a much bigger story - one in which God resolves the disappointments of life in ways that far exceed our shortened sight.
Sometimes, our disappointments cause us to see that life is much bigger than our unnecessary worries and stress. I've been challenged here lately to slow down and breathe. Life can't be prodded, rearranged or fixed. The shower will still happen on Friday, and recital will come and go just as it has every other year. And one day, I will be the boring stay at home wife who cooks dinner every night and does laundry every week. Sigh. Not today.
