Give all

Last night Spencer went to the church for meetings and I cleaned some of the kitchen. I stopped by to give him dinner and left to go to Smiths to get some cards. And yay for me I got pulled over by a cop on a motorcycle. I feel it’s weird to get pulled over by a motorcycle. 1. it’s smaller than your own car 2. It was in a weird area to where it was hard to pull over 3. He kind of came out of no where and I thought he was going somewhere because there was one ahead that had his lights on too. I didn’t think I did anything wrong so it took me by surprise so I was confused and didn’t really understand right away that I was the one that had to pull over. Quite frankly it was embarrassing especially when it’s been a LONG time since I’ve gotten pulled over. Also when you’re not even sure what you did wrong. At first he says I need you to pull over and I said sorry I didn’t realize a motorcycle is different then a car and he said but the lights mean the same thing. NO DUH! But where you were pulling me over was weird and there was no noise to the lights and I had seen lights before I even started driving so I didn’t think they were for me. Jeez

Anyways he said it was just a warning because I didn’t fully stop at a stop sign. I swore I stopped but I can’t really remember anymore. But he asked me how long do you stop at a stop sign… 3 seconds duh. (I never said duh to his face btw) Anyways so he gave me a warning but it says I need to appear in 14 days which means court I think. That’s confusing because I’ve gotten a warning before a long time ago and I didn’t get anything for it. I would much rather pay a small fine then go to court because it sounds terrifying. It sounds like I did this HORRIBLE crime. So I am going to have to figure that all out. Once I was done instead of going Smiths I drove and parked outside my house. To be honest, I cried for like 10 minutes because I’ve been a good driver and I never wanted to get pulled over again. It was scary, cops have that effect on you and I think some of them like that.

I pulled myself together and drove back to Smiths, a different way this time. And I got the cards and gifts I needed to. And was able to keep myself together. When I got home I just watched like 3 episodes of Ghost Whisper. That show always distracts me and I played a little bit of Roller Coaster Tycoon. Then Spencer came home and we watched some American Pickers.

I slept okay last night, but I did wake up at 430 and it took me FOREVER to fall back asleep. Then this morning I got ready to go do a color load of laundry at Jessica’s house, then watched 3 more Ghost Whisper episodes. MAN did I cry when Jim died. I never really saw that episode. It’s even sadder when you have a husband because you never want to see something like that happen to someone you love.

Now at work I folded some more papers and just typing up letters and hoping the day goes by fast. Today is Thursday which means Spencer will be at school so I won’t be able to see him for awhile. =[ It’s harder when I miss him, and today is one of those days but its bathroom cleaning today so I will throw myself into cleaning.

Also buying about 100 books from Charlotte who is selling them for a dollar each! Man our house is going to be packed with books. That will be really exciting to receive. Thanks!

I don’t want Ghost Whisper to end BUT I also want to be done with it and watch something else. Oh can’t this day go by any faster. Thank heavens it’s Friday tomorrow, this week sure went by fast!

Day 17- What lack I yet?

Invitation: Give all

Scriptures: Mark 10:17-22, Mark 12:41-44

* Think of someone you know who has given all in service to the Lord. What lesson can you learn from that person? How can you be more like him or her? Commit today to give all you have in your service to the Lord. Choose one area where you feel you could give more. What changes will this require in your daily routines?

- I know a few people that have given there all, but specifically I think my husband. That dedication everyday is very important. One thing I struggle with is Visiting Teaching sometimes. 2/3 are great members and they both seem to be doing very well and I don’t feel I can teach them much but I could be there friend. Sometimes age difference gets in the way of my thinking because they are older than me why would they care to be my friend. I should go out of my way to talk with them not give them a lesson. Or just drop off a gift.
