While I still make my fair share of mistakes, I do love working at Bath and Body Works. I need to start making a wish list or else I will not know what to do with myself or how to budget inside that store! Especially during this sale. My work just smells too good and has too many wonderful things. What I like is it's something you can buy a ton of and it won't hurt you. I'm definitely better off buying a bunch of products from Bath and Body Works than from Starbucks or Moe's or something. :P I'm really working on focusing more there. I'm looking and can't wait for the shift where everything goes smoothly and I feel like I've done things right.

Honestly, I don't know how many people read this (or if anyone does...) and half the time I don't know what to write about. And I feel like I'm always writing about myself! I always get to this point where I like blogging and having a place to share my thoughts/heart/whatever, but I don't know if it's serving a purpose. I'm sure though, if I delete this, I'll just regret it and make another one :P

Yall know basically what's on my mind lately and taking part in my life...
Church and VBS teaching, Marcus, Lily, work. Everything's good :) I'm just enjoying the summer. Loving my God, loving my life and the people in it and the privileges I have. :)

Am I the only one who sometimes wishes my life could have background music? I sometimes even imagine that the song I'm listening to wherever I am is actually playing behind me in association with whatever I'm doing or however I'm feeling as if I were in a movie. Is that weird? I mean, I wish that when I succeed at something, a nice chariots-of-fire-esque ballad would begin playing to enhance the excitement. During hard times I wish songs that were uplifting to me would begin playing to illustrate my desire to look to God and or just to see good and be faithful...

...and is it crazy that I actually wonder if celebrities who watch their characters live against a soundtrack wish or even EXPECT that a song should start playing in association with whatever emotion their feeling or event they're experiencing?

It probably is. I mean, I think about it and pretend we (or at least I) live to music probably more often than is sane. :P Just shows you I can have some interesting thoughts. But anyway...


I'm starting to feel very uplifted by the fact that God is calling me to teach Kindergarten during VBS . This isn't what I volunteered for originally but somehow things happened in a way that guided my heart toward being the lead teacher for a good handful of Kindergartners that I hope I will succeed at teaching God's love to while simultaneously providing them with a good week of fun and excitement. I've been searching and searching for ways to serve, and I think this is the perfect, PERFECT answer for now. Next week will be a very enjoyable and uplifting week for me. :)


Oh, and another thing I can't help but share....
Our new little pup, Lily, is here and she is a little fluffy bundle of joy and she's growing like a weed! She is the perfect addition to our family even though Angel still has a special place in our hearts. She's been home for 10 days now and we love her to pieces. Check out this little cute patootie...
