Prayer is powerful

The devil smiles when we make plans. He laughs when we get too busy. But he trembles when we pray.

- James 5:16(b) - The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

::being creative::

i don't feel very creative these days. i am worn out from my job and i feel drained at the end of the day. i am still learning my position and i get stressed when i don't know what i'm supposed to do. i can't wait until i know my job better and i feel like i'm contributing something. maybe i'll feel better after our next event (my first event) which is October 7. i know it will feel good to actually work an event.

i wish i felt more imaginative. i don't even know what to write about these days. it's always the same. i love being married. i love living in a warm state. i miss my family and friends like crazy. i am anxious to get out of debt. i want to be successful at my job. i really hope to be able to go to Ohio for Thanksgiving...... same feelings. same dreams. same stesses. how can i feel so stuck in sameness when everything is new for me this year?!

At This Very Moment
1. Are you craving anything, and if so, what? I am craving ice cream, but I am really full from dinner...

2. What is the weather outside and do you wish it would change? It rained all day today and most of this past weekend. I would have preferred it to be sunny. We tried to get some tanning in and only got to stay for an hour before the sky opened up.

3. What two websites do you think you'll go to next after here? I will check out my friends' blogs and then sign off. I've been looking at my computer all day...

4. Do you wish you were somewhere else, and if so, where? I love where I am. I just wish my family was with me!!!

5. Do you wish you were someone else, and if so, who? I believe I am who God made me to be (along with my own issues). I wouldn't dream of being anyone else. Not even if I could have Halle Berry's body :)

So now I tag Kimber and Sam and Crystal and Bek and Bekaboo and Bonnie and all my blogger friends :)

::happy labor day::

i really have nothing to post -- nothing exciting -- no new news -- just a nice relaxing holiday weekend with my honey :)

we are having a couple over tomorrow for a cookout. it should be lots of fun!!

my family called me from the camping trip last night while they were around the campfire. when my niece, Ellie, got on the phone, i burst into tears. she wanted me to be there and continue my reign as the 'Canoe Queen'... last year her Aunt Karen kept ending up in the pond, taking lots of kids with her and then on the next trip out, their canoe had a hole in it. they were always getting wet, but i stayed nice and dry!!! i know they are having a blast and i wish i was there... thank God for my husband! he's so good to me and i love him beyond words ;)

hope everyone is doing fun things and spending time with loved ones this weekend...
