Today at work. . .

It was just after 2pm, and I was off already. I had just clocked out and was sitting in the loss prevention office talking to my friend Jenn. The fire alarm goes off. Chaos happens. Managers running in and out talking about the possible evacuation about to incur. 911 gets called. I ask the loss prevention manager if, even though I already clocked out, does she want me to go down and help get the kids out of my department. YES. She says. So RUN I do. Down to smaland. We get the kids lined up, grabbing a rope, 99cent store flip flops on their feet,and out to the 5 flag poles, where we wait for their parents. APPARENTLY one of the air conditioning unit's had a part that had started sparking and started sending smoke through a vent in our computer room. SO the firemen came, and the police came, and the helicopters came, and within 35 minutes the store was reopened......It was an adventure needless to say...those crazy swedes....

From the end to the beginning...

Thank you to the David to my Jonathan for taking these pictures and getting me listography! I love you and appreciate you! Also thank you to Ky,Jess,Brittaney,Bethany,Parentals,and Erik for supporting me ;)

It's been a really rough week....

Last night though, I spent the evening talking about Jesus with some highschoolers, and then the night laughing with friends. Then today I had my James class. Guest speaker Robin was a blessing, sharing what God's doing through James in my life was a blessing, and lunch with God fearing women was a blessing. Tomorrow is a day with Allison. I'm excited about our day.

I love it when your praying for peace, and the Lord uses those we love to lift up, and encourage. I got a series of text messages from my dear friend Alicia Dishno this morning, and they were completely needed. I'm so grateful!!

"Exodus 40:36-38 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journey's, but if the cloud was not taken up, they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle, by day and fire was over it at night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys. Everything is in the Lord's timing! When He wants us to move, He tells us. Otherwise we know He just wants us to rest in Him! But we know that night or day, whether we're moving or standing still, He is with us in all our journeys!"

Such a blessing to wake up to! The reminder that He holds us in His hands, and we aren't able to escape that-even when our flesh doesn't understand, and we try to handle things on our own....He cares,loves,and patiently waits for us. That's HUGE

The heart of a girl by Peter Bradley Adams

(He's my new Favorite....)

The waiting is over

There's a break in the weather
And I will build my house again

My faith was broken

But it wasn't for nothing

And I will learn to walk again

Time won't wait

Plans they come

Scattered by the wind

Here I am

And the day will come when I find my rest again

You showed me the heart of a girl

And I wrapped you in ribbons and curls

We lived in a handsome world

We had it all

Don't ask where I'm going

There's no way of knowing

Anyway there's more to see

You made me a promise

And you've known me the longest

And I'll finally get some sleep

Time won't wait

Plans they go

Scattered by the wind

Here I am

Day will come

And I find my breath again

You showed me the heart of a girl

And I wrapped you in ribbons in curls

We lived in a handsome world

We had it all...

We had it all

You showed me the heart of a girl

And I wrapped you in ribbons and curls

We lived in a handsome world

We had it all...
