Seeing the light....

Yay for three-day weekends! Labor day is coming up and  boy am I excited! "Why?" you ask. Because it means I will only have to drive to work four days next week, and it means that my parents are FINALLY coming to Olathe to see my house! (Well, my mom already has done, that, but you know what I mean.) I am very excited that my dad and my brother are coming to see my house for the first time. Although, this means I have to clean! 

Also, I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to do with them when they get here. They are farm folk, not really into the whole big city thing. They don't really like baseball, so taking them to a game is out of the question. They don't like to spend money — well, mom does, but this time dad is with her — so the mall is out of the question. My brother is coming and he is only 16, so even going to the Power & Light District to go bowling is out of the question (it's 21 & up). So, any ideas what to do with the old fogies? lol j/k They're not fogies.

The title to this blog is "Seeing the Light." You may ask what does she mean by that... Well, let me tell you... not a whole lot. I don't really mean at the end of the tunnel, cuz  I think I am so deep in whatever I am in here to believe that I am in a tunnel. It's more like a deep, dark hole. But, I am seeing light. Does this mean that I may have dug my way out of my hole and come out on the other side??? Only time will tell!

A) I don't get a 3 day weekend :(

2) YAY! for a family weekend! BOO! for cleaning!

III) Maybe consider taking them to World's of Fun? I'm not much help on this one b/c I don't know what's up there. Sorry friend!

Quatro) Sometimes God has a bigger plan for us than what we can see. I went to a bible study last night and one girl told a story about how she was listening to a guy on the radio and he was telling a story about when he was in afgan, or somewhere over there, and he was watching this woman make this "tapestry" (like a rug) and from the side he was on, it looked just like a bunch of knots and a big tangled mess. But the other side was the most beautiful rug he'd ever seen! And he was comparing it to our lives. Sometimes, we just feel like a tangled mess, but eventually God will reveal the big, beautiful picture to us. I thought it was kind of a cool story and it really spoke to me b/c I feel very much like you do. What am I doing with my life? Why can I not be happy at my job? Etc. So just remember, God has a bigger plan and he loves YOU!!

5) I love you friend and I hope I at least made you smile! You need it! :)
