TGIT - Thank God Its Thursday!

Here I am...waiting on Bible Study and still avoiding writing the speech for Grandma's memorial service...I'm about half a page into the speech and don't really like it...but mainly because I'm scatterbrained. I feel that way alot. Not sure if its the insane multi-tasking that I've had to learn to do...but I feel lost. That's why I am glad it's Thursday. Thursday is Bible Study day...*crosses her fingers* hopefully..Bible Study has been a calming experience for me. Convicting, but calming. It reminds me to take more time for my relationship with God. Not that I don't have a million things I could be doing...

Brings me to subject one....This town has no cute black dresses that fit me...and that stinks. I managed to visit ALL 4 stores that might have black dresses....really all 4 stores that have women's clothes...and failed. Kinda frustrated..I did find a dress...just too colorful for the purpose..

Subject two...I hate medical stuff. So for the job, I had to go through a physical, which included drawing blood to do the yearly check-up. Of course, the results come back that I'm slightly anemic...so I have to have more blood drawn..Yup, that's right...definitely been in medical everyday this week thus far. I also had to go get a chest x-ray this afternoon...ohh yeah and go back on Tuesday. Talk about fun..

I think those are my rants for tonight. I need to finish working on my speech. It's hard. I know what I want to say, it's just putting it together so it flows and makes sense...Typical me is procrastinating til the bitter end on actually typing it. I think part of it is that this means it's for real. I know it is, I mean I saw her body after she had died. I know she is in heaven and yet I still keep seeing her face in my mind and thinking that I will get to see her on Saturday. She has been cremated, so the only view I will have of her is in the pictures and memories. Maybe that is best, though, because views of her in the past year weren't the same as they were 5 even 10 years ago. I don't know if it's a selective thing, but I like to remember her as she was when I was still living at my parents. Before she lost alot of weight and got sick, where she lost even more. I could go on and on about Grandma and will to some degree on Saturday. But my other view for the message is to talk about her faith in Jesus and how she would want us to grow closer to him through this.

Prayer Requests -
For our Texas "family" - there are many prayer requests there - (i.e. Riggs baby and Callie's mom to name a couple).
For the Womack family - all the daughters are there, my brother flew in last night..we will be the last ones there tomorrow. It's all sad. We are desperately in need of peace and comfort.
For God's provision as we grow to seek him - for the husband a job as well as for us to find a church here..(not sure when we will actually get to visit on a Sunday morning..)
For my job -  that I can be a witness and spread God's love while doing well in my job.
And many unspoken requests...
