Home Project - Glass Tiles For Kitchen Wall

I gave myself off from work today so that I can do some personal things. I have two invitations today; one is going to Deland to bond with a friend and the second is to go to Orlando right now for a birthday party of a friend’s son. I declined both. I have another invitation tomorrow, too; a joint birthday party at noon. I will have to decline that, too. The reason? I want to spend my time in house cleaning today and tomorrow.

I woke up late this morning. I didn’t feel bad because somehow I believe I deserved it. I have been waking up so early since we move our store hours opening to an earlier. I had loaf bread and chocolate ice cream for lunch, turned my Yahoo Messenger Music on, set it to Yahoo Exclusives Love Songs, and voila! I am in the mood to start with my general cleaning.

I started in our kitchen… and so on… I don’t like the walling in our kitchen. I want it changed to glass tiles. I took my laptop and googled glass tiles and there I found this glass mosaic tiles . I think this look so gorgeous and like any ordinary tiles that are so boring. I showed it to my husband, he just shrugged. He don’t care so much about home improvement. Well, I like it and I will consider having this.

This source also has metal mosaic tiles . I think they look gorgeous, too, but my dilemma is that metal tends to make the surrounding area cold which I don’t like (but my husband would surely love it).

I am happy to be able to accomplish something big today. I am happy that I choose to stay at home instead of socializing around again which I had so overly did lately. It feels so good!

Thankful Thursday - God Answers

I'm back! I know. I owe you big time on my "Thankful Thursday" entry. The only explanation that I can give is that I was so overloaded with so many task that blogging became difficult for me. However, here I am now, and since I got a new laptop, (which I am very thankful to God) this should inspire me to be back on blogging. I got a whole bunch of things that deserves mention on how thankful I am to God, I may not be able to mention all of them, and to start with, I would like to highlight this verse;

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." (Jeremiah 33:3 KJV)

First of all, I would like to thank God for nurturing me spiritually all the time. His word is the light to my path. In a situation where I was not sure on what to do, God laid it out on me like a blueprint for me to follow. Doing His will is what gives me peace of mind and made me successful in things that I entrusted to Him.

I am thankful, too, for the good health that my husband and I enjoy every day. We are both extremely busy, and although most of the time we were physically weary, but it did not really pull us down. I also thank God for keeping my mama in pretty good shape lately. My sister helped her now trying to be independent from those expensive medication, which I am so glad that they do because I just can't afford it, and now, they can use the money on the other things instead, such as on eating what she wants to eat, or buy herself something that will cheer her up. I think it sounds better to me than spending all the money on medication, at least she will enjoy life, and as long as she can maintain her blood sugar level in low. Thank you, Lord.

Everyday I thank God for the job I have now. I love it very much and I am giving my 120% on it. (Yes, because even at home, I still do some job-related work.) I handle my job with a spirit of good stewardship, and God knows that I honored him in it. Although at times, my employer doesn't seem to know or understand what I was or have been doing, but my ultimate and heavenly employer sees everything and knows my motives, and that gave me peace in mind that no matter my earthly employer find me incompetent sometimes, I am confident that God will work all things together for good for my behalf, and He always did. He is the provider of bright ideas and wisdom that pleases my employer. Thank you, my heavenly Boss.

I thank God, too, for holding my husband up in his studies. I see and understand how my husband sacrifices on this, and I see, too, how God miraculously and mercifully helped and sustained my husband since the very first day of his class. I am glad that my husband enjoyed his class and the least that I can do is to support him every way that I can, and this includes prayer. My desire is to see my husband's dream comes true, which I believe is God's will for him. Thank you, God.

ROY... You are beautiful!

I was doing the paperwork at the store this morning, and I happened to look outside through the glass and I saw ROY (G. BIB). I was in awe of its beauty. I ran to the office to grab my camera and was very glad that it did not go away, that I was still able to catch its beauty through my camera. It was raining few minutes earlier, and that's how its beauty became more amazing, reminding people that there is a rainbow (or two) after the rain. Yeah, there were times that I saw a couple of rainbows perfectly collided to each other. It was beautiful.

This rainbow reminded me that I can start anew with my life... my priorities... and everything else that are messed up lately. I admit that I was so carried away lately with my work that all the other areas in my life were falling. But the good thing is, the Holy Spirit never fails to remind me on how I ought to live... and with the grace of God, here I am, back on the track. Thank you, Lord... and thank you for the rainbow that you used as an instrument to bring realization to my mind.

Daughter's a Flirt

This guest post from Lenny Mcknight

My daughter is the biggest flirt, it scares me sometimes. I know that sounds crazy but the last thing I would want to happen is for her to chat someone up somewhere and they follow her home or something like that. I know I sound like a totally crazy dad but you know, it’s my job to worry about her. When she bought her first house I went to homesecurityfamily.com and made her sign up for an alarm system and that’s at least put my mind at ease. She says she’s got a new boyfriend which also makes me feel better since at least that will probably cut down on the number of odd men she talks to. I know I should be more worried about the fact that she’s flirty than her personal safety but I guess I just feel like it’s my job as a dad to be protective of her physically. I think that since she’s out there on her own I just worry about her more and more.

My New Dell Inspiron

It has been a couple of months since the last I posted here on my blog. There has been so many things that kept me from blogging and I just can't help it; and just a week ago, I found a way to rekindle my passion in blogging, and that is to buy a new laptop so that I can post anything on anytime and in anywhere.
.
Yesterday, I went to a baby shower party right after work, and it didn't take long, we parted and went each own way home. In other words, I was home early. I feel depressed, so I decided to watch movie, and found myself still depressed after the movie was over. I was thinking on something to do, eventhough I have so many things on my list that are need to be done but I just didn't feel like doing them, until... alas! "I need to get a laptop right now." I then told my husband, "Honey, I know what I need now, I need a laptop." Let's make the long story short, here it is, my new Del Inspiron.

Thank you, honey, for this. Thank you, God, for this another blessing.

From now on, I will be back to life in blogging more... to do what I am supposed to be doing... to tell God's Amazing Grace... by God's help.
