Weekend Discoveries

Thursday night:
Eucalyptus oil is awesome for asthma...get a little oil diffuser and away you go to breathing again.
Friday night:
Took Heidi to play with her freinds Sue, Ree and Weezer
Headed for Natchez State Park for a silent Retreat.

Saturday:
Notes from my "Silent Retreat" (ha ha Katrina!) More posted in detail later...

1. Stand in the place where you are...
2. Shine your face towards the son
3. Praise him
4. Praise him some more
5. Ask a question if you must, but after that, praise him
6. God's favorite color is green (look at how many greens there are!, AND it is the color he picked for the first LIVING thing he created.
7. Don't worry, just praise him.
8. Forgive people, then praise him
9. Don't forget to pray for others who need help, then praise him

Sunday:
I am currently reading "Hildegard of Bingen:a Spiritual Reader" by Carmen Acevedo Butcher (a friend from Shorter College days).

"Hear what I have to say, Listen and Obey. Practice repentance. Asking for forgiveness must become a way of life because God revealed himself to you in His son. You must make confession a genuine habit"

"All of God's miracles are accomplished through our praise and through our kindness"

"Be happy inthe One who is Lord of the universe. Continue to follow Him. Love your Creator. After you become happy in God, he'll give you everything good (when our good actions mirror His good intent). Whatever your heart wants. He'll give to you."

And just so you don't think my weekend went "smoothly" as nothing I do does...this was the behind the scenes weekend.
Thursday:
House showing at 345 ran to pick up Heidi to get her out of the house. Met Sam for Old Navy and dinner....Heidi still in car....finally got home around 8 and a very hot and tired dog jumped out of the door and hung herself when her lead caught the armrest. As she dangled she peed everywhere, I dropped the leftover alfredo all over the drivers side seat....'nuff said.

Friday:
Leave school, pick up Heidi 3;45(another showing), buy a journal, finish laundry, pack for night at Natches Trace, pick up house and do dishes (showing on Saturday) meet Katrina leave by 5.

Saturday:
After the retreat - drive home (got lost for an hour!!! when I ended up in "Bible Hill, TN" thought I might oughta turn around!) finally make it home around 530. Someone looking at the house, turn around head for Katrina's (where Heidi is staying). Get there break in back door (the deck is hazardous). sit there and realize their internet not working, meet a freind back at my house, she wanted to go there to pray while I was away. let her in. go back to Katrina's, sit around with Heidi. Meet friend for dinner (Heidi in the car). Go home around 8 pm to shower and grab sunday clothes. Head back to Katrina's to spend the night with Tiff, her daughter (left Heidi at home)...I thought I would never get "home" that day. Fell asleep on Katrina's couch.

Now, I am ready for a weekend.
