Happy

I'm a happy girl today!

1. It's Friday. Need I say more?!

2. The Hogs are playing in the Cotton Bowl tonight.
Woooooo Pig Sooie!!!!!!
I wish we could've gone to the game. That would've been so fun!

3. The weekend is here. That means my husband shouldn't have to work for a couple days! I have only seen him about 2 hrs total since Wednesday night. We miss him!!

4. I officially pick back up my title of "Soccer Mom" tomorrow. Braden's indoor season starts up early in the morning and he is so excited he can hardly sleep! I was really ready for a break when the season ended in mid-November, but I'm ready to get going and get back to our busy routine now. I think... Here in a few months, I may be ready for another break! Less than 5 months till school is out for summer! We can do it!! :)

5. I've almost made it through my first week of the Daniel Fast. Hallelujah! It's been a great week. The first day was ok until about 3 in the afternoon, when a massive headache hit and had me writhing in bed until I finally went to sleep around midnight that night. It was due to caffeine and sugar withdrawal, no doubt. But I've felt good since then, praise the Lord! My fellowship with the Lord has been really sweet and He has blessed me so much. I've been praying for peace for a while now and God has truly answered my prayer. This week, especially, I have a peace that I can't explain. After spending too much of the last year with worry, fear, anxiety, frustration, disappointment and even sometimes anger, I am so thankful to be in this place of peace. I just want to serve the Lord where I am today. Even if my life's circumstances aren't exactly what I would hope for, I want to rest in Him and just joyfully serve Him anyway. No more pity parties for myself here! Woo Hoo!
I pray for peace in the midst of life's circumstances for each of you! And thank you, once again, for praying for me and my family!

6. I only have 3 loads of laundry to do today!!!

7. 1st week of NFL play-offs is this weekend. Football, football and more football. Yes, please! I'll be having my annual football withdrawals before too long, but for now----- I'm happy! :)

8. It's Friday!!

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!
