Brilliant Songs

So I just got Josh Groban's latest CD, and I must say that I LOVE several of the songs on this CD! The quality isn't as good on youtube, but here are links to my two favorite songs.

The first is "You are Loved" I think this is an amazing song if you think of it as God singing it to us.

The Second is "So She Dances" I just love this song.

Had a bad day......

So today I feel like that song that they play over and over again on the radio. I really just don't feel like myself today. I feel like I have very heightened emotions. So things that might only bother me a little bit, are bothering me a lot more. Ugh. I think I should go back to bed and try again.

Top Five Amusing Things at a Career Fair

1. People who say to me, "You don't have a very dark tan for living in Florida!" Hello. We do have some sort of winter here. It's not summer all year.
2. Other vendors who try to attract attention to their booths by doing things like hiring models to walk around in what looks like nothing but bathrobes bearing their logo.
3. People with a much smaller sense of personal space with strangers then I possess
   
4. Candidates who say "Orlando? Don't you guys have tons of hurricanes?" Hopefully for all of us living here that was just a bad couple years not a permanent trend!
   
5. People who say "Can I steal a pen?" Sure. Or you could just take one. You'd probably feel less guilty that way.

Nowhere to run

Every once in awhile I get the urge to make a change. I get discouraged or disappointed and I want to start over. I consider moving to Colorado or back home to Chattanooga. Because it feels like if I hit a roadblock, that I must be going the wrong way. But it seems more and more like God is teaching me to rest. Sometimes the hardest thing is to stay still. To wait on Him to make sense of things. For him to provide direction and perhaps build a bridge to an area that once seemed impossible.
I've started reading the book "Captivating." So far its been a good book, but there was one line in particular that really spoke to me. The idea is this. When Eve first took the fruit, she did it because she was convinced in her heart that God was holding out on her. How often do I make that same mistake? When things aren't going how I planned, its so easy to feel cheated. Like God is holding out on me. And so I try to regain control. I too take the fruit.

Thank God for His mercy and gentleness with our human hearts. Thank God that He has a good plan for our lives, even when we don't understand it.

Hi. I'm a doctor and a lawyer

I went to lunch with a couple of my work friends today and we happened to see a "local celebrity." For those of you that don't live here, he's an attorney that is both an MD and a JD and describes himself as such on his commercials. He says, "Hi. I'm Dr. so and so. I'm both a medical doctor and an attorney....ect..." Basically a "how would you like to sue YOUR doctor today?!" commercial. Which, if you'll permit me a side bar here, how does a medical doctor become a lawyer?? I mean really? How did you go from saving lives to sueing those life-savers? Okay, I'm done. So we saw this guy and were amused. My friend thought it would be funny if she pretended to choke on her food and then I ran away all suspicous like and she gasped out, "help me. I need a doctor AND an attorney!"

We had a good laugh about that one!
