Eternal life

I have to admit, when I first found out my church was doing this years Christmas service outside at an amphitheater-I was a little more than apprehensive.  I was born and raised in Florida all my life, so I am not fond of the cold.  Then as I thought about it, it was outside in a manger when our Savior was born.  How appropriate would it be to hold the celebration of His birth in our newly built amphitheater.  It also help that a friend of mine gave me a red wool 3/4 length coat (I love hand me downs), of which would be a great time to debut. I am getting excited about celebrating the birth of eternal life; the birth of my King Tuesday December 23 at Cascades Park

 Sometimes, something as simple as a new look can change how you look to someone. My "Person of Interest" has recently changed things up-and I have to say it has made him more interesting. I will never get up the confidence to approach him or "Catch", Im just too afraid of rejection, so much so that I can live with never knowing.  I figure if it is in Gods will,(God knows me) it will happen.  In the mean time I cyber stalk handbags.  My longest stalk: Dooney and Burke Smith Florentine bag in natural.  For the last 4 years the bag has been almost $400.  I could never bring myself to pay this amount for a handbag.  I have seen the price a little lower in one place recently so perhaps I will get it next year.  If I don't have it by March 24th, my birthday-then I think it would be the perfect birthday gift for myself. I think I will continue to search for handbags instead of looking for a love and affection from a man.  A co-worker  and member of my church recently gave me a very good reminder. " Dating is not a ministry", lol.

I am going to acknowledge where in my life things are stressful, so that I can proactively find a means by which to handle the stress.  I hypothesize,  that if I identify the stress and ways in which to mange the stress-it will give me a better approach to handling the stress than internalizing it by overeating. I have a test on Monday and a Interview on Tuesday.  The interview being the most frightening of the two. I have already prayed for God's will to be done.  I have put it in His hands, therefore leaving no need for me to worry.

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2New International Version (NIV)
