July Nineteenth

Should we blame work or summer for me not blogging…

Since if I’m not at work, I’m either being lazy watching TV or off playing somewhere…

I work tonight and then this weekend we are off to Pacific Grove/Point Lobos and the Bay Area…

Just a few more weeks til school starts so gotta get in the last of our playing…

Son1 got accepted into the Apprenticeship program at his new job…

He got his books today…

This past weekend he and DIL went camping with Kona and son2 house sat for them and watched Danny…

Son2 has been busy hanging with friends every weekend… and has once again gotten his driving permit… we’ll see if hubby can get him in the car to practice…

Son3 has his 12th birthday next week… He is happy to spend his summer right at home with air conditioner and his electronics… he would be happy to have a virtual reality helmet so he can go places without leaving the house…

Hubby has been busy with doctor and dentist appointments… Still going to physical therapy with his finger… and now taking care of his tooth that has an infection and will need a reverse root canal… and another tooth broke so over the next year he will have an implant put in to replace it…

I have new tires on my van… Last Friday I was driving home from work and heard a clicking… found a screw in the tire… so hubby took it in to our tire car guy, who said the tires were bald and two had split all the way around and we were lucky we did not have a blow out… Good thing we took the Jeep to Vegas…

I still go to work every day… I’ve accepted and gotten accustomed to my new job now… just had to remember I still work for the same company so technically nothing had changed… guess I was expecting something… however work has been stressful with everyone getting all freaked out every time we have visitors in the store… which is every week…

Hubby and I still having heart to heart talks… been married over twenty years and with him not working gives us lots of time to talk…

I have been trying to start a couple of new habits but it is just not happening… one being water the houseplants every day… so I do it for two days and then a week is gone… another being write down everything I do at home to help me feel accomplished instead of feeling like I got nothing done… just found my list and the last time I wrote down was the eleventh… it takes 21 times to make something a habit, I can’t get past two…

I’ve also realized my work schedule is a bit crazy lately and then with every day being a day off for hubby and the boys, it makes it hard to not so much get in a routine, as life is crazy but settle into which day is my Sunday, a day off and which day is my Saturday, a chore day… since I work every weekend now except one a month… I always have Tuesday off but then I could have Wednesday with Tuesday or Thursday with Tuesday or Monday with Tuesday… and then have a day off and then back to work for a day and then a day off, or work six days in a row til I get a day off… so makes getting into a rhythm at work even hard…

Time to go get ready for work now and then I am off the weekend…

Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...

true faith flowers from and through doubt.

If you never questioned your beliefs, - you are just a puppet dancing to somebody's strings. If God had wanted your mindless obedience, you would've been created without mind and without free will. But you have both so you can come to God of your own accord. Just look at the lives of saints, - most of them had gone through a dark night of the soul, and that's why their faith was so strong. The path to true faith always goes through doubt. So ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask, and find the answers, and then your faith will become unshakable.
