Why, oh why, does hummus have so many calories and fat! That stuff used as dip for pretzel chips... I mean it doesn't get much better than that. But limiting portions??? TOUGH! Please, someone find a way to make hummus 100 calories a cup with less than 5 grams of fat, but still taste heavenly.
Hummus rant aside, I have been BUSY! My plan was to go in and talk to my boss about a reduced hour schedule so I could have more time at home with the kiddos. End result? An additional VP to support and learning an entirely different area of the company. This does not equal reduced hours. Quite the contrary.
On the positive side, I like it. I like being busy all day and my new boss is comically manic. I'm finding we have some of the same quirks, so it works out.
I went to a women's conference this past weekend and learned so much about myself. God really revealed some things I have to face and process and its not easy, but oh... the growth.
One of the metaphors I really related to (in light of my most recent camping endeavor) was walking our own path passionately. I have been flailing a bit in this area. I see my path. I take a few steps. Then I run back to the big wooden board with the map at the beginning and check it to be sure its correct.
"You sure God? THIS is my path? I really think her path over there suits me better. Or what about her path? Or hers?"
But he has marked my path before me. And he doesn't call me to walk it miserably, with every single step trudging up the hills and frowning and looking longingly at that wooden board. We are to spring onto our path and walk with a Jesus loving bounce in our step, regardless of how many rocks and roots and leaves there are.
Certainly I have been trudging lately. I asked God to show me my path and he did. Then I didn't want to be on it. I was waiting for circumstances or people to change and make me happy. That's not quite how this works. God told me this past weekend that he wants me to passionately take MY path that he has marked out for me. Yeesh. Ok, ok. So I have been praying for an attitude adjustment regardless of what my path looks like. And then trust that God will take care of the rest. And quit looking at everyone else's paths since they have nothing to do with me!
And just because my boys are so precious and creative, here are some random pics of the weekend. It was rainy on Sunday so we stayed in and watched football and played Legos. It was so nice.
A little ghost writing lesson from school.
Lazy puppies.
B built a Lego football field with goalposts and spectator stands.
It really was cool. Until I broke it trying to slide dinner on the same table.
My boys playing at the playtable. I sure missed them while I was at the conference.
