Definately didn't forget about it, just "didn't have time"... I only put it in quotes because I've realized within the past few days that the excuse above has taken the place of a lot of things. After admitting repeatedly, I finally did something about it! I talked to my wonderful husband and to my amazing Creator! I am trying to prioritize some things that I sort of threw to the side.. and it's working so far! Praise the Lord!
The past couple days I've been finding a way to capture my attention into studying the Word.. Towards the end of last week I felt the Lord leading me to 2 Peter. I had been struggling with taking the time to spend reading. I felt kind of wierd envisioning this passage and having no idea what it was about. Verse 10 says "Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fail. " In context, this verse is talking about the qualities of love, affection, godliness, steadfastness, self-control, knowledge, virtue, and faith.. It says that if we follow this pattern of living we will be "effective and fruitful"! If we dont.. we will be blind. This was a really cool reminder to me. I am very thankful that I followed through and went ahead and checked out 2 Peter. God is so good!
Today was the beginning of my 3rd week "on the floor". So far, the services I've given to clients include: 2 men's haircuts, 2 short women's haircuts, 2 graduated bob's, a partial foil, a color retouch, and several waxes. I'm getting more and more comfortable consulting with clients and having a lot of fun! I've also made $14 in tips so far! :)
Carson just scheduled his Spring classes last week. While the advisor at school wasn't much help, the built-in advisor at home (me!) helped a ton! Basically we (and by we, I mostly mean me :) ) figured out a great schedule for him. He will be going to school only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Even better, Carson will be home by 12:30 or 1! He will have time for homework, working out, playing guitar, etc. and then by the time I get home, we'll be able to spend the evening together! He will be working on the days that he's not going to school. I think that this will help him to feel like he has more time and he won't have to do school and work all in one day! I'm excited for him to start this new schedule!
With Thanksgiving drawing near, and Christmas close behind.. Carson and I both are getting anxious to make a trip to MD to visit with my family!
Love you all!
