What do I look forward to each week.....

Each week I look forward to what the Lord has in store for me and for Bucky!  Of course, it is a surprise and I always feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.  As for the day to day routine in my life each week, I look forward to a good workout.  Working out clears my mind!  It kinda sets me straight with my emotions.  I can't say that I am buff and ripped because I don't think I am.  I do have my share of soft spots on my body.  However, I do believe in exercise.  It is a part of my life!

Another thing I look forward to each week is quality time with my husband/best friend.  I don't know what it is about us, but I crave time with him.  We have really great conversations about nothing.   His presence is comforting.  Each day is a gift with him.

I am definitely grateful for my job each week.  I do not ever want to take it for granted.  At this point in my life, I feel like my job, to some degree, is my ministry.  I am a flight attendant and I am responsible for the safety of every customer that enters our planes.  There safety includes making their flight experience comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable.  I do not think there is a day on the plane that goes by that I do not try to find a spring board in every conversation I entertain.  The springboard is the "kicker" to sharing God's word.  I am not good at it, however, I try my best to be  a good representation of it.  I aim to be a shining light in the Lord's eyes.  Believe me it is no easy task, but I always feel up to the challenge.

Treat every week like it is a gift!  There are times where life may bring you down, but remember the Lord will NEVER let you down!  That is what I believe and look forward to each week.

New Year.....2018

Already 2018!  How can that be?  I do not know what to look forward to this year.  I am excited though.  As each year passes, there is a complete understanding that I am not in control of my life...God is in control.  Why do I have to continue to drill that in my head?  Am I that stubborn? Hahaha! .....I guess so!

I have no regrets when I look back on 2017!  I am happy and content with all the blessings in my life and I do know that the Lord gets the Glory.  I want to focus more on strengthening my faith with the Lord.  I find myself to feel weak when I know that I should be taking a leap of faith. 

So let see what 2018 brings.  I am praying for little miracles!  This year is already a week in and I am trying to take each day as a unique gift.  I am planning on trusting God, spending time with my husband, reading more, and as I always say.....writing more!

The writing does not come as easily for me as I would like it.  I feel like I am a boring person with nothing to write about.  There is not a whole lot going on in my day to day life.

When I think about this past week in this new year, I have to say the most exciting thing to happen was my anniversary.  Seventeen years of marriage for us!  We are both thanking God for every minute of it.  The odds were against us when we chose to be together; there is not a year that goes by that I make sure I give God the glory for this wonderful man in my life.

Needless to say we spent the day doing simple things that made us both smile.  We went to the movies and saw The Darkest Hour.  I highly recommend this movie if you enjoy historical pictures.  I found it interesting and entertaining.  After the movies, we headed to the bowling alley to challenge each other in a couple of games.  We laughed hard and played hard.  I can honestly say we did not need anyone one else there for us to have a fabulous time.  It was a wonderful anniversary!

Let's make this year shine......in every way!
