Go 'Noles!

So, what an awesome night for a FSU fan! The 'Noles won and Florida lost! Oh what a great night...followed by what is sure to be an amazing Sunday morning at C3! Now I just really need my Colt's to beat D-Lo's Broncos tomorrow. Well, we will see...Until then, I need to get to sleep.

Football Rocks!

Rainy Saturday

I love rainy days like today, they are so relaxing and peaceful. Being able to sit around and do nothing is priceless...that doesn't happen very often! I am thankful for the rest we get when we can, it helps me personally to get re energized.

Anyway...

I am looking forward to tomorrow. I know God is going to work in lives and speak though Pastor Byron. I am thankful we have a Pastor who communicates God's word in an easy to understand way, without 'watering down' scripture. It really is irritating to hear people say that our Pastor 'waters' things down. I remind myself, though, that it doesn't matter what others choose to say. We know that God is using our Pastor and church to make a difference based on life change. Anytime you are doing amazing things for Christ people will find something to say. Sometimes people just have a need to talk about others and tear down. Again, it doesn't matter what they say...one thing I have learned over the past year is that you can't control others but only yourself. So they can keep talking, blogging, and smirking...but God is moving and people are being changed. That is all that matters!

C3 Rocks!

Fun Friday!

Today has been a good day...much better than last night in which I was sick and nauseous. I think I got sick from my own cooking! Maybe I shouldn't cook anymore :) I went to lunch with my hubby :) We ran some errands and now we are getting ready to go out with our great friends to celebrate Barry Oser's birthday.

I am very thankful for the friends we have...God has really given us a great support system to go through life with! What a great gift...true and real friends are few and far between. Most people go through their lives without ever knowing who they can really trust, or wishing they had people they could truly count on. We are grateful to have even just a few of those people around us. Some of them we have known since high school and some just a year or so, but all are equally important to us! It is crazy how you can know someone for a short amount of time and just connect so well. Matt and I can see how God was working and how He intentionally placed people in our lives...we are so grateful for that. =)

All that to say we are so thankful for the great friends we have...and we wish you a very happy birthday, Barry!

Thursday's Fun!

So I was a little worried that The Office would disappoint me...It definitely did not! :) I am very excited that Jim and Pam are together. It was also as funny as ever...Michael's dumbness (is that a word?) never gets old!

The Office Rocks!

Finally!!!

Okay so tonight we all finally get to see what happens on The Office...I figured I would post this video...just because I am excited :) I just hope they don't disappoint me! Jim and Pam better get together! :)

Laugh Away!

Tuesday Night Thoughts!

It's late Tuesday night and I can't sleep! Today was a good day, long but good...Here are my random thoughts :)

* I am very excited about getting 2nd place at poker tonight! Go me :) I have never gotten that far!

* I love my Mac computer! It rocks...I just created my own web page of pictures that anyone can go to...I was amazed that it is actually a real web page! The address is: gallery.mac.com/monica_hunt

* Back to the poker...Neither Matt nor Barry have ever gotten 2nd place... :) Just thought I would share that.

* I am looking forward to what is in store for the future of C3. I love our church and love that it is a place that talks about real issues!

* I am very excited about Dirty Little Secret! The series sounds like it will be awesome and hit home for many.

* I am also excited about The Office this Thursday! Oh man...I can't wait!

* I love my husband! He rocks :)

* So does our puppy...now she might be crazy, but she definitely rocks :)

* I really hope FSU wins this Saturday...

* I need to go to bed, tomorrow is going to be an even longer day than today if I don't get some sleep!

Much Love!

Choices

There are some things and people I will never understand...

I'll never understand why people write certain things or comments in their blogs. It's amusing how immature people can be. Of course, I am reminded again and again when I let these things get to me, that I can only control myself. I have no control of others and their actions. I have no control of what people may or may not write in their blogs. I have no control....God does. I just have to make the choice of what to focus on. I can choose to focus on people that hurt me or people that love me, and I can choose to focus on and read blogs that are encouraging or blogs that just tear down others.

I choose to focus on encouraging people. I have always said I would not read discouraging blogs, but this weekend I came across one by chance. Of course, I read it. I shouldn't have. I knew I shouldn't when immediately afterwards I was angry. I did not come away from reading that blog feeling the way I do when I read blogs that are encouraging. I came away mad at this person and mad at myself. So today I will make the choice (again) to not read blogs that just tear people down and are extremely immature. I will also make the choice to do my best to only focus on the positive...Positive people and blogs!

I have found that there really isn't much negativity in my life anymore. God really shows how much He loves us by taking people out of our lives. We may get upset at that moment and not understand why they left or hurt us, but we realize soon after that, that God had a purpose. He knew they would only bring us down and hold us back from being the person He wants us to be. He knew what they would do to us and because He only wants the best for us...He took them away.

I thank God for how much He has protected me!
