Yesterday was super busy so I wasn't able to post my High Five Friday post that I'm linking with Shanks for the Memories on Friday, so I ask for your forgiveness :)
1. So I have a confession....I LOVE OFFICE SUPPLIES! Back to School time is one of my favorite times of the year, because of all the specials on pencils, pens, highlighters, notebooks, etc. At work on Tuesday my boss surprised me with coolest, prettiest tape dispenser I have ever seen. When she handed it to me I actually squealed and jumped with excitement!
2. Thursday night I was able to shop at my beloved Trader Joe's and the exciting part was that they had heirloom tomatoes! I know you are thinking heirloom tomatoes this time of year? I know I could hardly believe it either. I bought some fresh mozzarella & some balsamic vinegar and the three together was delightfully delicious :)
3. My car broke down at the perfect time. When one reads that statement they may be perplexed, but I've given this a lot of thought. Here are my reasons for the perfect timing statement:
- I broke down 5 minutes away from my house, not on the I70, not in Westport, & not in downtown; all places I had been in my pursuit of groceries that night.
- It broke down Thursday night, instead of Friday morning on my way to work. I would've been stuck on the side of 291 and been late to work. I open the office & Friday mornings are always a little crazy.
- It broke down within the required mileage of my emergency roadside service to be towed to my preferred mechanic The Auto Clinic. If you ever need any work on your car go there, they are fair, honest & do great work.
4. Friday night I was able to spend some time with one of my favorite couples and their kids. Aaron & Jessica are going to be missionaries in France! It has been a long time coming and it has been encouraging to see them pursue what God has for them. I was their guinea pig for the presentation Aaron has put together to inform others about their ministry & how we can help support them. I dearly love this couple and am grateful to God that He chose for us to be apart of each other's lives! I am super excited to see how God uses them to minister to the French :)
5. The Sunday School class that I attend is going on a ski trip next month. I had signed up and paid the deposit with the idea that it would be great just to get away and see the beautiful landscape; I never planned to ski. However with my new mission of taking better care of myself so that I can be the healthiest I can be in my condition; I had to drop out of the ski trip. I made the singles pastor aware and I have been looking for someone to take my place and that person would pay the remainder balance. A couple people had approached me that they may be able to go but they would have to let me know. So this week I had been praying for someone to take the spot, I just hated the idea of paying for a spot on the ski trip and no one take it. Well with the next payment due date being on Sunday and me being fully prepared to keep my word and pay the remainder; I found out Friday that someone could take my place!!!! I know the Sunday School class is going to have a great time & I'm proud of myself for keeping my health a priority :)
