Exhausted

After the madness of the last couple of weeks, the constant going, going, going since Tuesday, the being with lots of people on Christmas Eve, Christmas and then the HUGE shrimp fest party for my birthday boy yesterday, today I'm EXHAUSTED. I don't want to see anyone, I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to have to use up my energy sources for a thing. Today I am taking care of myself so I can in turn continue to minister to my family and others around me because right now I have nothing left. It has been great holiday, I love my family, I love my friends, I just need to refuel...

Blessed

I love music. I am not the best communicator and I get so frustrated sometimes when I'm trying to get something across and my lack of words, emphasis, inflection,... something does not allow me to do it affectively. Music on the other hand. I hear a song and it is THAT exactly what I want to get across. Like someone took it from my head and put it so eloquently to music. The funny thing is, my husband is the complete opposite. He is an incredible communicator. He is smart, witty, quick and has an entire dictionary in his head which allows him to communicate quite affectively. But music to him is really just a lot of noise that he has troubles deciphering unless I give him the lyrics to follow along with. With our incredible differences we do communicate pretty good. Mostly he is just a VERY patient man as a I ramble for hours to try and let him know what I'm thinking and he eventually figures it out. Or else I find the perfect song and I hand him the lyrics.

Here is one of those Perfect songs from an incredibly gifted lady~Enjoy!

Contentment....

Psalm 131
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 My heart is not proud, O LORD,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.

2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul;
like a weaned child with its mother,
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD
both now and forevermore.
