Thoughts on a Cloudy Friday

I am eating the BEST Italian sub right now. It is from a place called Santoni’s in Owings Mills (where I work). I suggest everyone try this place at least once in their life. I am very fortunate to work for such a wonderful company, among many other things, they buy us lunch every Friday. WONDERFUL! I don’t have to pack an extra lunch the night before, I don’t have to pay for it and I am usually the one that gets to pick where we eat most of the time!

I have been thinking about and have been making little steps to invest more time into my family. This is a VERY difficult thing for me to do (those of you who know me and know a little about my past and my family situation would understand). Last week I took my sister out for breakfast and a day of girl bonding. I turned out to be a great time and we got to talk about alot of things and we even did a little shopping (my sister is tom boy gone goth rocker so shopping is a huge deal!). Yesterday, was very crazy at work and I forgot to bring my lunch. On my way over I thought about stopping in to visit my Dad at work, he works about 5 minutes down the street from me. I stopped at Noddles and Co. got me some yum yum chicken noodle soup and I decided to buy  my dad A giant chocolate chip cookie and take it to him. When I showed up, he was so excited… he showed me around his office and introduced me to his fellow co-workers. I could tell he really appreciated it. Even though it is a big struggle for me, I know that is was worth it and I know that God was pleased that I was stepping out of my element to honor him in an area that I have been struggling with.    

Tonight is our  (Ryan and I) date night. I love them. Let me take a minute to share with you how much I love my husband and how I am so excited to see God at work in his life. I don’t know if I can do specifics becasue Ryan is somewhat private, but I assure you that God is too kind to have blessed me with this wonderful man.

Speaking of love, I LOVE my Nieces and Nephew. They are amazing and I am so glad to be apart of their family. Amanda can vouch, I am a bit of a softy.. when they look at me with those big blues, there is no way I can say no to them.  When I walk into their house and hear “J A N E T”, it  has got to be one of my favorite things in the world… I want to leave and come back in time after time just to hear them say that. Ugh… I miss them now. Please don’t move away.. ever.. God told me that church plant is def. not in your future.

*just to clarify, this is not a plan for the Price’s at this time, I am just making a general statement based on a desire that I have heard them express for the future.
